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. Our earth is full of mysteries, with many areas, including the vast majority of our oceans and deep parts of our rainforests, largely unexplored. Write a few pages in which someone goes where no one has gone before, right here on our home planet.
2. Write a few pages of a story that begins with the phrase “It was a dark and stormy night." Maybe your character unravels a mystery between the clashes of thunder.
3. 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.

Tips:
1. Nothing is worse than reluctantly dragging a pen across paper. To improve your output, you have to focus on those things that motivate you to sit down and write. So, how can you feel energized to write? In your Will.Power Notes, make a list of action steps you can take to get ready for your next writing session.
2. The best writing creates a sensory experience: it employs most or all of the senses, including sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. This allows us to fully envision ourselves in a story. Put in an effort to evoke more senses that just sight in your story.
3. Read with a pencil (literal or digital) in hand. From highlighting and underlining words and passages to scribbling notes in your journal, close reading does just that: it brings you closer to the story. Remember that reading is an active process.
