Tips and Advice About Writing and Self-Publishing
I thought we’d try a two part story. This week (part one), your character sits down to write a letter. Who is it to? What is it about? Does its content contain good or bad news? Maybe it’s a love letter or a dear john style one. Perhaps it’s to complain about something. Is it long…
I can’t remember if we’ve had a story title prompt before. If we have, it was a long time ago so here goes… The title of your story is The Girl in the Raincoat. Who is she? Where is she going? Is she going to meet someone? Are her intentions good or bad? So much…

I thought now and then we could base a story around a certain emotion. This week it’s fear. What is your character afraid of? It could be fear of flying, public speaking, going to the dentist? Maybe the fear is rational or maybe it’s not. So much you can do with this one. Have…

We’re in the last month of the year so I thought we’d try photos prompts for the month of December. This first one features a wolf. Does your character see it while he or she is hiking? Are they planning to save it? Does it lead them somewhere they never expected? Do they maybe see it as…
I always say when you’re lost for story ideas look at your life. We all get those annoying phone calls, trying to sell us something, or wanting us to upgrade a service. That’s what happens to your character. He or she gets a phone call from someone selling them something strange. What is the…

This week’s prompt focuses on a character who has a cold. How do they react…maybe they’ve got something important to do and are too sick to get out of bed. Maybe they take a new to them remedy… Perhaps they’re only pretending they have a cold to get out of doing something they hate.…
