Your Prompts and Tips
Some free resources to help you write better and achieve the success you deserve
This is a selection we've harvested from our archives, RELOAD THE PAGE for more!
Prompts:
1. Write a few pages about a time-traveling romance. Maybe the characters are from the same time period but meet while jumping ahead to the future, or maybe your protagonist travels back in time and falls in love with someone there.
2. What if there was a mysterious movie showing that no one has ever heard of, not even the employees at the theater? Write a few pages about a character who decides to see this movie buts sees something on the screen that makes their jaw drop.
3. Write a few pages about a character who traces back their family history and finds out they are related to someone incredibly famous on their paternal side.

Tips:
1. Did you know that a writing space curated to your needs will make you more efficient, productive, and even creative? So, if you don’t have one already, set up your ideal writing space. Then, set a timer for 15 minutes and get writing!
2. From if a character will have a happy ending to how a romantic interest will play out, we all make predictions while we are reading, often without even realizing. Read a story and pay attention to the guesses you make along the way. Once you finish reading, compare your predictions with what actually happened. Did you find it too predictable? Or, would you have never guessed how it would turn out?
3. Any good mystery provides enough clues that the reader is able to make well-founded guesses about the outcome, but not so many that they can predict exactly what is going to happen. As you read, note how many clues the author is giving. Are there any plot twists or red herrings? Do you feel the author left enough clues or so many that you figured out the big mystery halfway through?
