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 family pet that is literally reborn, as in reincarnated. Do they come back as a puppy, or as something very different, like a tree or a new friend that just moved into the neighborhood?

2. Imagine a character finds an old velvet couch in the middle of the woods while on a hike one day. When they sit down on it, they find themselves suddenly transported to a different world. Where do they go? Write a few pages telling us what they do there, and maybe how they get back.

3. Write a few pages about poetic justice, in which a character meets a stranger in need, makes a decision to help or not, and then gets what they deserve, whether that’s good or bad.

Tips:

1. Whether it’s a long-winded passage or a complicated plot point, we all scratch our heads while reading from time to time. In these cases, we recommend first pausing and taking a breath before slowly rereading. Walking away and coming back to it later is a good idea if you are feeling particularly lost.

2. You may remember learning in elementary or middle school that writing has three primary purposes: to entertain, to inform, and to persuade. When you read, ask yourself what the author’s purpose is.

3. 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!
