If you’re looking for some seasonal writing prompts for autumn, check out this list from Bustle.

Not all of them are speculative fiction oriented, but you could take some of those non spec fic prompts and twist them a little to point them in the direction you want to go. They also invite you to write in a variety of styles, including poetry and journalistic, to name just a couple.

If you wanted to have some extra fun, you could try combining two (or more) of these prompts. So maybe a journalistic piece that uses the word pumpkin ten or more times? I think the bigger challenge would be writing something about pumpkins that doesn’t overuse that word!
