It’s been raining and raining for at least 36 hours which gave me the idea for this Monday’s writing prompt. Create a story where water is the theme. Maybe there’s a flood where the character lives. Maybe the character is looking for water. Have fun and happy writing.

The Monday Writing Prompt-Old Cameras
I know most people use either digital cameras or cell phones to take photos but for this writing prompt the main character buys an old camera in an antique store. When he or she get it home they discover a roll of film still inside. They have it developed, what do they see on the…
The Monday Writing Prompt-Easter Egg Hunts
This week you can’t go shopping without realizing it’s the season of chocolate eggs and Easter bunnies. Many children look forward to the annual Easter Egg hunt. For this writing prompt, something other than an egg is uncovered. What is it and how did it get there? Have fun and happy writing.
The Monday Writing Prompt-Season Finales
It’s getting close to the season of season finales or even series finales. Some fans love the endings the writer give a show while others are greatly disappointed. For this writing prompt, pick a show (it could be an old one or one still being aired), and write your own ending for it. Have fun…
The Monday Writing Prompt-Losing Things
Not sure what made me think of this week’s writing prompt but I hope you have fun with this one. Your character either leaves something behind on public transport or finds something that someone else has left behind. What is it and what are the consequences? Happy writing.

Green’s the color of the day. Ireland is sometimes called the Emerald Isle so for this St. Patrick’s Day writing prompt, write a story or a scene in which the word emerald appears. Happy writing.
Monday Writing Prompt-Forgetfulness
One of those days where everything’s happening at once and I almost forget to post something for the Monday Writing Prompt. At least it’s given me a topic. One of your characters has forgotten something. What is it? Maybe it’s trivial or maybe it’s a matter of life or death.
Monday Writing Post-Reading the News
If you’re ever stuck for a story idea sometimes all you need to do is read the news. Here’s one from the headlines. An asteroid the size of three football fields is set to brush safely by earth today (Monday). Think about all the stories that could generate and not just sci-fi ones.
