Writing Prompts.... Oopsie

Well... as the title of this blog says, OOPSIE!  I didn't realize that I was out of prompts, so didn't send to @comicfan to get new ones!  Since I forgot, I decided to go through and pick a few recent ones that showed zero responses in the forum.   Creative     First Line     Word List     So there you go!  Hopefully I'll have some new prompts for you next week!

Writing Prompts: End Of Year Edition

Well, I can't believe that it's already the last prompts of 2016! Rather than do our regularly scheduled prompts, I thought that we should do some kind of special prompt edition. I wracked my brain for a couple of ideas, and in the end, Cia and I banded together and came up with a couple of End of Year / New Year prompts for you to try your hand at. We look forward to seeing your responses!!!!     Special Prompt: End of Year #1 Tags: New Years Resolution The clock strikes midnight and the

Writing Prompts Special Anniversary Prompts

How can we have an anniversary week, without anniversary prompts? But oh - Comicfan, the ever resourceful has solved this dilemna with these two wonderful writing prompts. As always, we hope you share your responses with the community in the Writing Prompts forum...   Special Anniversary Prompt #1 Tag: Anniversaries Anniversaries are always something special and unusual. What makes the one you are attending that way?   Special Anniversary Prompt #2 Tag: Save the Date I know I had been asked

Writing Prompts Second Chance Prompts!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Years Eve and a great start to 2015! I was in the prompt forum the other day, and I noticed some prompts over the last year didn't get any responses. Now, I know there could be a number of reasons for this, but I thought it might be nice to give some of them a second chance to be noticed! On the last day of the year, no less. So for this week's Wednesday post, that's what I'm doing! Here's a list of 10 prompts that for one reason or another, didn't receiv

Writing Prompts Second Chance Prompts!

Every once in a while, I like to look over the past prompts and see what, according to the prompt forum, haven't been used yet. That's what I decided to do today. We're going to give some of those unused prompts a second chance to be noticed. Since the beginning of 2015, there have been 8 prompts that have gone unused. Hopefully one of them will inspire a prompt response. If you decided to use one, make sure to put it in the appropriate forum thread!   Prompt 383 - Creative Tag: The New Year I

Writing Prompts Second Chance #270 & #271

Hi Everyone   Turns out that I'm helping out in a pinch with this weeks Prompt Me! blog entry. Our prompt guru Wayne, aka Comicfan, and Renee are shall we say 'indisposed' for now.   Since I'm not an expert here, I thought I would copy a Prompt Me! that was originally posted on October 17, 2013 by Comicfan. I thought why not give this another go to share your Spooktacular writing skills with all!   Prompt 270 – Creative Tag – First Line “Because, I’m leaving you.”   Prompt 271 – Creati

Writing Prompts Poetry Second Chance

First, a reminder that the deadline for the Winter Anthology is coming up quickly. We've gotten a few entries, but there is always room for more. Now for the prompts. I thought this week it might be a great idea to look at some of the first poetry prompts that AC Benus has been providing in the forums. If you haven't already checked them out, then now's your chance. All of the linked titles will take you to the lessons and instructions for each kind of poetry prompt. Have fun!   Poetry Prompt

Writing Prompts #740, #741, #742, & #743

Well, I've kind of slacked this week (read as completely forgot), and there was no Wednesday post. I had a plan, but the good news is that the current Q & A has been extended, so you have until the end of this month to get your answers to me! Also, there were no prompts last week since we had a promotion announcement, so this week I'm making up for it with 4 new prompts for you to contemplate and perhaps use to pen your next story!  Happy Writing!         Prompt 740

Woohoo! We made it. Well, I sort of did. Sorry these are a few hours late. But for those of you who are just about Halloween-ed out, this week's prompts should prove a welcome break.

Happy Friday! This week we had 2 features for a rather romantical story, but these prompts can go in completely different directions. Just what would you do if you were considered "stock"? *shudders* And fast forward past Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas to plant that living tree you chose to use in an ecologically-conscious move... Is Mother Nature rewarding you? I hope to see some great prompt responses!    Prompt 710 – Creative Tag – Baby News In the order only thos

I think there can be some great spooky stories to come from these prompts. A party hat, crime scene tape? A costume party gone wrong?

October has come! It's time to enjoy some flash fiction this first Freaky Friday. What's that sound...? Is it... a creepy cackle? A spooky rattle? Maybe you can come up with a spooky twist to prompt #706 because I know that would freak me out and there's all sorts of paranormal premises that you could use!

September has nearly fled, October is fast approaching, and the Extreme Halloween flash fiction stories are due. Did you write a prompt piece for that event?
