November 2009There are lovely things all over the world... emotions, nature, and even people. Write a story about something beautiful. Write a love story, a pained experience, anything... As long as you make it beautiful, it's your heart's desire.
October 2009When you think of the word
primitive what comes to mind? Something innate? Think of "primitive" in terms of a story. What stories do you consider innate? Is it true love, glory, fairytales, parables? Write a "primitive" story, something that you think expresses what it is that humanity has been trying to say for centuries, but retold from your unique perspective.
September 2009Write a story from the point of view of something that would not normally have thoughts, let alone be the main character in a story. Basically, use personification to turn something everyday into a masterpiece! Write the story of a Geisha fan, take a pencil for a whirl, or anything else you could think of. The possibilities are endless.
Personification... inanimate objects or abstractions are given human qualities or are represented as possessing human form.
August 2009Write a story that focuses on a single character and his or her development. The plot itself may be incomplete; the transformation of the character should be the focus. To make things more interesting, place the character outside his or her comfort zone. For example: is she traveling? Is he starting at a new workplace or school? Is he or she entering an important new phase of life? No matter where they are, illustrate their transformation clearly and be creative!
July 2009 Nonfiction! Write an autobiographical anecdote, a short exerpt from your own life. Nonfiction doesn't have to be boring and it's not just for people with unusual life experiences. Even if you think your life has been boring, you can write something unique and interesting by changing up
how you write it. You can make it funny or suspenseful, for example, just by leaving out details and not revealing them until the end. Only two rules: it has to be written from the first-person perspective, and it has to all be true!
June 2009 One of the earliest forms of what we recognize today as a novel was the epistolary novel--a novel in the form of letters. Tell a story using letters (or emails) as the narrative style.
May 2009April showers bring May flowers: write a story about a time when an unfortunate event turned out to lead the something much better in the end.
April 2009You are rummaging around in your attic, and you find something shocking. What is it? Adoption papers with your name on it? Incriminating documents? A human skull? The possibilities are endless! Write a story of any length and style, but it must be from the first person perspective.
September 2008There was a tragedy a long time ago; you thought you had recovered from it well. But now, something is happening to make you believe that the tragedy was no accident. And you’re not entirely sure another tragedy won’t happen again…
Write about this tragedy, and the situation leading up to your suspicions. Is the tragedy supernatural in nature? Or is it the plotting of another person? Only you can decide.
June 2008What family is ever complete without the outsider, the black sheep of the family, the one who doesn't fit in with the rest of them? Every family has one. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Writing from the side of your choice (misfit or family member), write a short story showing their perspective on the situation.
May 2008We all love fairytales for different reasons, but commonly everyone wants everything the happy ending, which is sometimes in contrast to reality. Write a short fairy tale where the princess does not live happily ever after.
April ProsePromptAll stories are based around central conflict right? Write a story about an event that goes perfectly, but add in your anti-perfectist character and see what happens next. Perhaps some comedy may come from this, but that's up to you, the writer.
March 2008Fact: All life ends in death... but why should that stop writers? Write a short story where death ends in life.
February 2008Did the cities turn to ash or did the world decay by plague? Heck, does it even matter to your character any more? Write the final journal entry of a person who is witnessing or has witnessed the end of the world.
January 2008They say the first sentence should grab a reader's attention. Write a short story that starts with the following sentence, and let your imagination play with what comes next.
"Oh my God... What have we/I done!"

The fact you arrived is irrelevant.
The point is you made the journey.

With Wish To Worry While Your Away
With All Grace To Allow My Hand The Travel
And Worth Here Across Your Face
I Love You More Than You Could Know
In Those Eyes You Hide It Well
I Think You Do"
