History That Never Was

April is just around the corner, so it’s time for the April 2025 writing prompts!

This month, I ran across a lot of weirdly similar lists from different sources, so I had to approach things a little differently.

The first column is The Petite Planner’s April Doodle Challenge from 2024.

The second column is primarily from Home Ed Creative’s April Drawing Prompts from 2023. In places where this list overlapped in nearly the exact same prompts on the same day with the first column, I pulled in assorted words from Sweet Plan It’s undated April “What Should I Draw?” (which also has a cute idea for doodles in a bullet-journal style sketchbook.

The third column is from Paper and Ink Illustration’s 2020 Spooky, Cute & Kooky April drawing challenge. This one offers a bit more variety from the typical April fare but also has some overlap, weirdly enough. But I figured the overlap was not as severe, so it worked out fine as my third pick. As per the usual, you can skip the duplicated prompts, expand on an earlier piece, or try for a different interpretation of the word. Or whatever else you like to do with duplicate prompts!

You can always choose to use one, two, or three of the words, depending on your preference and how they work together!

Check back on the last Friday of each month (or occasionally the first day of a new month, when that falls on a Friday) for my History That Never Was writing prompts!
