Live Your Dream
It’s the last Wednesday of the month and the last of the photo prompts. Here’s this week’s one. Who is throwing the dinner party? What’s the occasion? Who’s invited…who isn’t and why? Maybe something exciting or sinister is revealed. If you’re journaling think about an imaginary dinner party. Who would you invite and why?…
It’s the final Wednesday of the month which means the last of the sayings- This time it’s Like father, like son. What story can you think of that features a father and son duo? Do they see eye to eye? Maybe have a falling out or even a reunion. If you’re journaling write about…
It’s now officially fall (well, maybe spring for some of you), so I thought we’d use a fall prompt. Your character journeys along this road. Where is it and why have that chosen this route? Are they going to meet someone? If you’re journaling, you can use this photo to write something about a fall…
For this prompt, think about a song. What’s it about or what do you think it’s about? Use this as the basis for your short story. If you’re journaling, pick a song that you love and journal about why you enjoy listening to it so much? What type of emotion does it stir? Is…
This week it’s all about songs. If you’re writing a short story, your character decides to write a song. What is it about? Does he or she sing it for someone and what’s the result? Do they have a winning song on their hands or something they’d rather forget? If you’re going the journaling…
Your two characters are wearing the same shoes. Were they supposed to? Is it part of a team outfit? Or did they not plan on wearing the same shoes to the event and it starts a conversation…maybe even an argument? Perhaps these two characters know one another, maybe they don’t. There’s lots you can…
Here is the final character(s) for your story. How do these two people fit into your story and how do they interact with the other three characters? I hope you’ve enjoyed the month long writing prompt. Would you like to see more four week writing prompts? Have fun and happy writing.
It’s April, so I thought we’d try something different. A prompt that will carry through this entire month. Each week you’ll get a photo of a different character as your prompt. Think of it as a piece of a puzzle. All four characters will be part of the same story each playing a part in…
This week you have a character who is lost. It could be that they are physically lost or maybe lost as to what direction in life they should take. Did they head out on a hike and can’t find their way back? Maybe they can’t find where they parked their car at the…
When it comes to writing prompts, I always think the writer should pick the genre but this week I thought we’d try something different. This time the genre is sci fi. Maybe some of you are already sci fi writers but if not, here’s your chance to wander outside your comfort zone. Here’s a photo and…
