Continuing with our natural elements theme for the month. This week it’s wind. Maybe it’s about a tornado, a hurricane or just a windy day. Perhaps something blows away or blows into the yard of your character. Have fun and happy writing.
The focus of this week’s prompt is based on another saying which is- ‘It never rains but it pours.’ Does one of your character say that line or maybe your story focuses on he or she’s misfortune. Maybe your story takes place during a thunderstorm. Lots you can do with this one so have fun…
No Tuesday guest blogger today so I thought we’d fill the space with another Story Sparkler. This time it’s story fragments. All you need to do is fit a story around them. The moon shone over the lake. Alan saw a figure moving in the trees. It was Tuesday and it was raining…

Another video as a writing prompt. This time it’s the snowy road to somewhere. Is your character the driver, the passenger? Maybe the person who lives at the end of this road and someone’s about to stop by? Is it an innocent visit or maybe something sinister is about to take place? Remember to press…
For this week, I thought we’d merge the short story and journaling prompt together. Think about a story you read and enjoyed so much that it’s been a keeper in your story collection. For the short story writer, this will get you thinking about what makes a good story and what made you enjoy…
It’s a title prompt this week. For those of you writing a short story, the title is… The Road Less Traveled What does that mean to your character? Are they about to embark on a journey? Is it somewhere new or some place they return to often? For those wanting to journal, what does…
This week’s prompt is all about a window. For a short story, what does your character see when he or she looks out of the window? Something they shouldn’t? Something beautiful?
