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. Some endings are really new beginnings. Write a few pages about a character who is packing up to move and comes across a sentimental keepsake they forgot about.
2. Write a few pages starting with the moment a bride or groom discovers a piece of their cake is missing before their ceremony even begins. Who might have done it, and why?
3. A jester, or a fool, is a common character archetype. Popular examples include Dory in Finding Nemo and twin brothers Fred and George from Harry Potter. Write a few pages about a character that plays the fool while not having very much luck on dating apps/websites.

Tips:
1. All writers draw from the same well of arts that are created by others. When you read, you probably notice that some stories and characters remind you of others that you have read about. Perhaps they are even an outright reimagining of them. Pointing out those connections can help us understand a story on a deeper level.
2. Writing is a holistic process: whatever you’re thinking and feeling inevitably makes itself known on the page (or screen!). Try writing when you’re mad and when you’re happy. Make note of any differences you notice. Was it easier or harder to write when you were angry? Did you struggle with anything in particular with your happy session?
3. A great writer knows when to rest. After all, nothing gets those creative juices more than living your life and exposing yourself to new experiences.Brainstorm different activities you can use your Sundays for that might liven up your storytelling.
