Dialogue Prompts

Dialogue prompts are great fun to read and write.  These are a little more sarcastic and sassy in tone than my other writing prompts, but I suppose that’s the nature of dialogue prompts.

Slightly Strange Writing Prompts

There’s only so many post titles you can make up for writing prompts.  Don’t judge me. 😉  More writing prompts, in order to celebrate the making of this blog, which started sometime this month, last year?  (Wow, that’s a lot of commas.)  I honestly can’t remember when.  My first drafts were writing prompts though, so…. ta-da!

Historical Writing Prompts

It’s been a while since we’ve had a round of writing prompts on here.  I decided to branch out and do historical prompts.  This place was getting bogged down with all the fantasy prompts.  

Now, I don’t write historical.  I tried to write a short story set in the Great Depression, but it turned into a miserable failure.  (Actually, my seven year old brother read it over my shoulder while I typed it, and I asked him for help.  The plot didn’t improve, so I’ll blame that story’s failure on him. But he liked the story.)

These historical fiction prompts are going to be something unique because–guess what– they all happened in history!  (I know, historical fiction normally is set in history, but hear me out.)  

These prompts were all in the newspaper and they caught my eye.  These are real life prompts, taken from headlines and articles in newspapers a long time ago.  Some are quite humorous, and I daresay you’ll like them whether you write historical or not.

More Writing Prompts

Hello there, let’s start with this little thing that I found on my computer.  Computers are full of surprises.  Things can get buried, and then they appear, and you’re like: “When did I ever make that?”  Happens to me all the time.

No one has ever explored the bottoms of the sea.  Mankind has opted to explore the depths of space.  It seems suspicious that we’ll explore the place so big that we call it “Space,” but we haven’t even seen all of our planet.

Well, they tried.  It just went unrecorded.  The mission was never noted anywhere, any evidence was destroyed.

Did that catch your attention? 😛  That came from a prompt I found somewhere, some time long ago.  Feel free to finish it, as I probably won’t get around to it for a while.  Onto the fresh, new prompts!  (And this time, they sorta are castle-y)

Another Round of Writing Prompts

Ah, back again with the writing prompts.  Happy day!

Mind Reader – Character Prompts!

It’s been a while, but here we go again!  This time I decided to go slightly zany.  Then again, most everything is a little zany around here, so there is not much difference. 🙂  

Winter Art Prompts

Ooh, the temperatures are dropping, the leaves have already dropped, it’s the most wonderful time of the year!  Winter is my absolute favorite time of the year for a lot of reasons.  Reflect on some of them while you illustrate some of these cool (pun intended) art prompts!

Fantasy Writing Prompts Series One

Hello and welcome back!  you might have noticed that writing prompts have been in short supply.  I’m now going to do series of prompts (with share-able images) based on genre.  First up: Fantasy.  I mean, who doesn’t like some good fantasy?

Plot Twists!

As I discussed in the last post about writer’s block, sometimes you need to do something else.  If your story is lagging somewhere (likely in the middle) try adding one of these twists or complications to your story.  Do with them as you will.

Invisible- Writing Prompt

The nice thing about writing prompts is that I don’t have to write the ideas I come up with.  I can sit back and relax after posting the prompt.  If the prompt catches someone’s eye, and they write a best-selling book, well, I can still claim a teensy bit of credit for the idea.
