Modern Day Cinderella
In today’s society, what type of person will you think of when the word “prince” is mentioned?
The literal meaning of the word, a prince with noble blood who seems regal and unreachable? Or, a pop star celebrity who you can see every day, shining brilliantly on the stage and in TV?
Or, do you think of some super rich CEO who dominates in his field and can easily make several million dollars with a single business deal? Or, is the first image that pops into your head that of a schoolyard “prince” who’s incredibly handsome and popular in college and has captured the heart of every girl within ten kilometers?
Stories between ordinary girls and princes are always capable of tugging at readers’ heartstrings.
He, is a noble, respected crown prince, inheritor to the throne, and has a regal upbringing.
She, is a poor girl who sells flowers on the streets, and can’t even afford three good meals in a day.
He, is a popular, household name superstar that everybody loves.
She, is just a third-rate actress barely scraping by and looked down upon…
Whenever an ordinary girl coincidentally has a meeting with a modern-day “prince”, perhaps they’ll fall in love with first sight, or leave each other with the worst impression possible. But, fate always ties them tightly together…
Perhaps they’ll be connected together due to an arranged marriage. What type of sparks will fly between the two?
It’s up to you how you want to write a story about a modern-day Cinderella, a love story between an ordinary girl and a “prince”!
(This writing prompt’s main genre will be romance, but other genres are permitted as well. It also doesn’t matter if your main character is the prince or the ordinary girl, and your target audience can also be male or female.)
Still, this week’s writing prompt will likely be of more interest to females. Next week’s writing prompt shall be aimed more at males. But of course, we warmly welcome male authors to participate in this week’s writing prompt as well!
