While I was looking for May 2026 writing prompts, I came across the Every Other Friday challenge from ArtOfNelya. This is generally an art challenge, but these phrases are evocative and would also make great writing prompts! Though we’re already a third of the way through the year, I’m adding the whole list here. You […]

It’s May 1st, so it’s time for the May 2026 writing prompts! This month, as always, we start off our list with the official MerMay 2026 prompts. There are a few this year that are geared very much toward an art style, but I think they’re still viable as writing prompts. The second column is […]

We’ve got a few more days until April begins, but it’s time for the writing prompts for April 2026! This month, I’ve turned three art challenges into writing prompts. Column 1 is from @veryberrydraws’ FreshARTpril 2025 prompt list. These prompts are all fruits and vegetables, but I think that when you combine them with the […]

It’s almost March, so it’s time for the March 2026 writing prompts! This month, we’re starting with a throwback or two. Column 1 (and the image) is from my March 2018 writing prompts, and column 2 is from my March 2019 writing prompts. I figure those are plenty old to bring them back. (And we […]

I’m back with prompts from the DefCon One Instagram account! These are from late September and through October, so some of them have a bit of a fall theme. Write a piece about someone using a fork as a rake … or vice versa? Write a piece featuring a new candy trend. Write a piece […]

We’re almost through January now, so here’s February’s writing prompts! This month, I’ve picked prompts from art challenges. The first two columns are definitely more February themed, but without too much overlap. The third column adds a nice random element to the mix! Column 1 is Doodlewash’s February 2025 prompts. Column 2 is from Natural Beach Living […]

We’ve still got almost a week of December, but it’s time for the first monthly writing prompts for 2026! This month, I’ve got one list that’s decidedly winter themed, while the other two have fewer winter-specific prompts. Column 1 is Doodlewash’s January 2026 prompts. The list included a few plants and animals I wasn’t familiar […]

It’s time for the December 2025 writing prompts, and this month, I’m doing a little something different! The first image and first column of words are a throwback to 2017, which was the first time I did December writing prompts on this blog! This is a list that was designed for six-word stories, but you […]
