Have you ever had someone just out of the blue give you information that you really did not want to be hearing? Something that just kind of set your whole day off onto a bad course and left you in a lousy mood? It is not something you really wanted to hear, something that given your choice on hearing now or later you would have preferred to have heard it later. You know the sorts of things I am talking about.
Today’s Daily Writing Prompt is “I didn’t want to know that”. Is there something that your lead really would have preferred not to know about? Maybe that their ship has a mechanical or electronic flaw? Perhaps that there is a curse on the ring they just slipped on their finger? Did the prisoner just escape? Consider what might just set your character’s day off onto a path toward being a lousy day and see if it fits in with your story. Or use it as a bit of a subplot for one of your minor characters.
