Prompt or Anthology Story? Why not both!

Having trouble coming up with a story idea for the anthology?  Then consider checking out some writing prompts.  There are many sources of writing prompts.  I have a whole box of prompt materials in a box in a cabinet. I've gotten them from a variety of places - Amazon, book stores, or as gifts.  When I get stuck, pulling out some of these materials is a great way to get the muse started again.  GA also has a vast repository of prompt ideas from Comicfan's prompts to the current Prompt Team prompts.  You can check them out here by clicking on the Prompt tag:

Guidelines for the current anthology can be found here:

These prompt materials... in a box... in a cabinet.  Why do I find it strangely compelling? 😄

I have several sets of prompt dice with pictures on them, and you roll them to come up with characters, settings, and totally random sh**.  My BFF gave me something called The Writer's Toolbox that has several different types of prompts in it.  I have a bunch of prompt books, including one where you randomly flip three different page sets to come up with a scenario.  I also have sets of cards to randomly generate prompts.  This is not counting the "literacy corner" I have at work that is full of games and activities to work on literacy skills.  At lot of those things can be used as prompts.  I have a bit of an obsession.  :gikkle:  :unsure:
