Sometimes you see a great image prompt, but it gives you almost too many potential ideas. That’s why something like this page of visual writing prompts with brief suggestions of what’s going on and some questions your story might answer can be helpful. This particular batch is meant for classroom use, but that doesn’t mean […]

It’s time for some more image prompts for this week’s Fun for Friday! (Images deleted.) The first image is three large clusters of a succulent plant with broad and thick leaves that end in purple points, growing from a pale tan rock formation. The second image is larger than life sculpture of a snail in […]

If you’ve ever wondered what a sunrise might look like from Mars, or even farther away from the Sun, artist Ron Miller has created depictions of what sunrise looks like on different planets. The images include views from both planets and moons, particularly for planets with no appreciable surface from which the Sun could be […]

This week, we’ve got some slightly surreal images involving roads for writing inspiration. (Images deleted.) The first image is a photograph taken through a pair of glasses. Where the glasses are present, the photo has some color, with blue sky and green grass on either side of a fairly worn roadway. Outside of the glasses, […]

This week’s three images are all taken from an interesting perspective that’s more about what’s in the distance. With each of these questions, you can ask what’s in the distance, what the perspective is moving toward, or whether that perspective is just looking back at what it’s left. The first image is a pair of […]

It’s time for more image prompts, and this week, I started with a theme of “poison room”. But I’d say that the results diverged a bit from that. The first image is a small, capped, brown medicine bottle marked with a skull and crossbones, on a pale orange patterned surface and in front of a […]

Today, we’ve got some images around a theme of spring, though in a variety of different ways to make them inspire writing that doesn’t necessarily have to do with the change of seasons. (Images deleted.) The first image is of a castle in Prague, though the castle is in the background and intentionally blurred, to […]

For this Friday, we’ve got three images on a renewal theme, but as you use them as inspiration for your writing, feel free to take them in different directions. (Images deleted.) The first image is thin, brightly colored curved lines that look like they could be a close-up image of a Slinky or curled tinsel. […]

This week, I’ve got some images of clouds for the photo prompts. People have long been seeing other things when they look at the clouds, so see what you see in these clouds, and base your story or poetry on that. (images deleted) The first photo is of Foehn clouds, which are also known as […]

It’s time for some more image prompts, and today’s seem to be along a theme of a simulation … or are they? (Images deleted.) The first image is a detail photo of a gray stone castle with colloquially called “murder holes” on the wall, against a mostly cloudy sky. The second image is an illustration […]
