It’s almost April, so time for the April writing prompts! This month, I did all random prompts. The first column is nouns, and the second column is verbs, except because English is how it is, some of those words can be either nouns or verbs. The third column is much more random, pulled from lists […]

My birthday is tomorrow, so I decided to celebrate with some birthday themed images for this week’s Fun for Friday! The first image depicts a round cake with rows of pink roses along the edges and three curly pink lit candles atop it. In the background is a metallic vase holding a bouquet of pink, […]

I’ve already got a story in mind, looking at these three images, but I wonder what others might make of the same prompt! The first image is of a female-presenting person from Vietnam, dressed in white clothing and carrying a conical hat woven from straw with many large gaps between the straw. Her right hand […]

There’s a column in the New York Times called “What’s Going On in This Picture?“, where they strip captions from assorted news images and post them for students to explain and discuss. But it’s also a great random story prompt, as you fictionalize what’s going on, or otherwise use the image to inform a story. The […]

The March 2023 writing prompts feel like they’re falling a little early, but with February being a short month, now is the time! This month, the first column comes from Kick in the Creatives, which always has great word lists for each month (I sometimes shorten their prompts for my list). Column 2 comes from […]

If you’re looking for a potentially very quick writing prompt, check out this idea to write a micro story by filling in the blanks with an excuse. It may seem a little silly at first, but if you read through the post, it links to another post that explains this exercise and how it works […]

This week’s images are vaguely wintery images for your inspiration! The first image depicts four individuals in silhouette walking a narrow, slightly raised path with snow across the landscape on either side of the path. The sky above is cloudy, blocking most of the sunlight, but the sun peeks out near the bottom of the […]

It’s time for the February 2023 writing prompts, and yet again, I’m borrowing my lists from other sources. It’s the combination of the three, I think, that will lead to interesting things. Words in the first column are from the Kick in the Creatives February 2023 art prompts. They’ve got the most variety! Words in […]
