If you’re looking for specific genre writing prompts, check out this list! They’ve got several ideas for each of a bunch of different genres.

They may not seem it, but these photos are tenuously linked to one another. Even if you don’t know the connection, though, they could lead to an interesting story. The first photo is of a street parade with dragon and lion puppets/costumes. The second is of a beat-up red USB stick on a red glossy […]

The HMNAO Eclipse Portal will let you choose a location and see a list of all the eclipses in that location from 1500-2100 AD (or CE). The Solar Eclipse Catalog approaches the topic […]

For this week’s fun, check out this list of “What If” Journal Prompts. But now, apply them to fiction. More specifically, spin out some ideas of what a character might do if one of these What Ifs happened to them, and build a story from there!

This week, it’s another bunch of somewhat random images (deleted) to inspire your writing. First, we have a car driving through an area with some leafless trees, with high water on either side of a narrow road, and possibly overtaking the road. The second image is three long, narrow spools of thread, in pale green, […]

If you’ve ever considered coming up with a fantasy language like Tolkien’s elvish, or an alien language like Klingon from Star Trek, you definitely want to check out Vulgar. It’s a language generator that can create a 200 word language for free, or larger word counts if you’re willing to pay for it. These languages […]

January has flown by, and we’re reaching February! It’s a 29-day February this year, and I’m definitely going to be taking advantage of that extra day! Most of the words for this month are themed to the season, but there are also a good handful of really random things, so that you can have some […]

It’s time for another batch of image prompts! This week, we’ve got a person with white hair whose face is not visible holding a smooth hearing aid between two fingers. We’ve also got a pair of statues that depict a bald person facing generally toward the left with armor covering their mouth and a person […]

For today’s Fun for Friday, I’m posting something a little different. Despite having studied the Civil War fairly extensively, I never knew that the Confederacy considered attacking the Union using helicopters. Had their plan succeeded, the Civil War could have turned out quite differently, as neither side had a strong air presence. Had one side […]
