I’m working on the third book in my Writing Genre Fiction series and it’s all about writing prompts and ideas so I thought until its launch (which I hope will be sometime next month), each Monday I’d share a writing prompt from it. To kick things off this is from a chapter on stories you…

Monday Writing Prompts-Room With a View
For this writing prompt it’s all about the view from your window. What do you see and what sort of story can you create from the image? Happy writing and have fun.
Monday Writing Prompts-Eggs

Monday Writing Prompts-The Limping Character
I’m working on a new book that will feature story ideas and prompts and thought I’d share this one with you. It’s a last line and it’s- She limped all the way home. Who is she and why did she limp all the way home? Have fun and happy writing.

It’s hard to get away from coverage of last night’s Oscar’s so for this prompt you main character is named Oscar. Who is Oscar? Have fun and happy writing.
Monday Writing Prompts-Giving Up
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
