We’re already to the last weekend of May, which means it’s time for the June 2026 writing prompts! This month, the first column comes from Doodlewash’s June 2017 World Watercolor Group prompt list. This list is very themed toward summertime and very normal. But it could be interesting to think about what this modern world […]

As promised, here’s my version of the second prompt from the Big Pink Book! I numbered the washi tape dots from 1 through 20, but I also made two columns. The left-hand column is genres, and the right-hand column is locations. I also added an extra sticker to this page–a d20 that looks like a […]

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 […]
