As a novelist, I've learned that the hardest part of writing is often getting words on the page. And yet, once I've found a spark of inspiration, the words often flow like a river. That's why I'm thrilled to introduce my new series called Tuesday Ten, where I'll be sharing ten creative ideas on a given topic. Each Tuesday, I'll provide a fresh set of prompts/tips to help ignite your imagination and get those words flowing. This week, we'll be exploring some fun writing prompts to help you jumpstart your creativity. So grab a pen and paper, or your favorite writing software, and let's dive in.
Writing Prompts:
- Write about a character who wakes up with no memory of the past year.
- Your character goes on a date with someone they met online. Things aren't what they seem.
- A small, seemingly insignificant event leads to a series of life-altering events for your protagonist.
- Write a story that takes place entirely in one room.
- Your character is haunted by a recurring dream that starts to feel all too real.
- Write about a character who can see into the future, but they're not sure they want to know what they see.
- Your protagonist finds a mysterious object that holds a strange power over them.
- Describe a scene where a person discovers something unexpected in an old box in the attic.
