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 character caught in a torrential downpour on their way to an important event.
2. Write a few pages about a character who takes a last-minute road trip. What is their destination? Somewhere not too far or on the other side of the country? What kind of car do they take, and what problems do they encounter?
3. Write a few pages set at a Halloween bash where everyone has come in costume—everyone, that is, except for one person. Maybe they are a real-life vampire or a celebrity. It could be dark or funny, or darkly funny—it’s up to you!

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. Mood can be defined as the certain feelings and vibes that are evoked. This can be hard to trace, but, when you read, you may simply feel happy vibes or even an aura of menace. This can be created by anything from a thunderstorm looming on the horizon, threatening a summer day at the beach, to cheerful dialogue. Mood helps place us in the world of the story.
3. Stories usually have one driving force behind them: plot or character. Of course, both of these elements are strong in good stories, but one usually has more influence. When you are reading, think about whether a narrative is carried by a compelling plot or a character that almost walks off the page.
