STORY STARTER
Write a story from the perspective of a fairy-tale character after their ‘happily ever after’.
This doesn’t have to be limited to princesses, but could be other fairy tale protagonists such as Red Riding Hood or the Three Little Pigs.

This is such a creative and fun idea! Regarding voice, part of me wonders who his audience is. Perhaps adding more clarity on whom he’s speaking with —maybe he’s speaking with someone new to town— that could open up the story to let us learn more about the world you’re building, or more about Ole Willy himself. I really enjoy his humble speech, “lowly janitorial ambassador of the cleanings arts,” feels like a humble brag, and that says lots about his character. Great work!
Hello! I really like the idea behind this small story! I find it very intriguing. One thing that’s a little confusing is the voice. It’s not consistent. In the first paragraph, the narrator introduces Willy, and in the next two paragraphs, the narrator suddenly is Willy. It switches from Third POV to First POV. Both work well for your story, but it is helpful to readers when the voice is consistent or when a change of voice/perspective is announced. I hope this helps! I look forward to reading more of your work! :)
