It wasn’t until I was reworking the Web site that I noticed this week’s writing prompt wasn’t showing up so sorry this one’s late. Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday both of which mean some people are going to give up something for Lent. For this prompt your story begins with the line- I have to give…

Monday Writing Prompts-Adaptions
It’s been 200 years since the publication of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. By coincidence, I just finished watching P.D. James’ Death Comes To Pemberley. If you haven’t seen or read it, it features characters from Pride and Prejudice…Mr. Darcy etc. and adds a murder mystery. It was fun to watch and got me thinking…
Monday Writing Prompt-Groundhogs
It’s Feb 2nd, known in some parts as Groundhog Day. And no today’s prompt isn’t about whether or not Phil sees his shadow. There’s a movie by the same name where Bill Murray’s character has to relive the same day over and over again. Your character has the same problem. Maybe it’s a mistake from…
Monday Writing Prompts-How Does Your Garden Grow?
My mantra is if you can’t find something to write about, look around you or think about what you’re doing. This time of the year many of us who are gardeners as well as writers are thinking ahead to spring and ordering vegetable seeds. Just like Jack and the Beanstalk your character plants these seeds….
Monday Writing Prompt-Last Words
Writing prompts often give you the last line for your stories and that’s what this one is about. The last words your character says are- ‘The strangest thing is I haven’t seen him for years.’ Have fun and happy writing.
Monday Writing Prompt-Alice
It’s hard to believe but 2015 sees the 150th anniversary of Alice In Wonderland. For this writing prompt your character is inquisitive just like Alice. Maybe they won’t have such grand of adventure as she did but what gets their interest and what are the consequences? Have fun and happy writing.
Monday Writing Prompt-Back To The Future
The calendar flipped to 2015 last week so there were a bunch of articles posted online about the movie Back to the Future II. For this writing prompt your character leaps 15 years ahead to 2030. It could be a planned leap or maybe they wake up to find themselves in the future. What’s going…
Monday Writing Prompts-Resolutions
The last prompt of the year and as you can guess it’s all about resolutions. Your character makes one. He or she hasn’t been successful in the past at keeping one but this year’s going to be different. What is their resolution and what extremes do they go to in order to keep it? Have…
Monday Writing Prompts-Gifts
As you can guess this writing prompt has a Christmas theme. Your main character finds a gift under the tree. There’s no name on it, no one owns up to putting it there. When the character unwraps it what do they find? Have fun, happy writing and a Merry Christmas to all.
Monday Writing Prompts-Lines
We’ve all waited in line for something. This time of the year the wait time seems to get longer. The character of your story is in line but grows inpatient and decides to head off to some other part of the building or store. What do they stumble upon? Have fun and happy writing.
