- Think of your favorite fairy tales and childhood stories. Write a short story plotting two story book characters against each other. For example, Little Red Riding Hood meets Batman.
- Take a book off your bookshelf, open to the first line, write a story from there.
- Write your first name. Use each letter of your name to write a descriptive word using the five senses. For example:
- P: Plush
- A: Acrid
- M: Mushy
- E: Elongated
- L: Liquid
- A: Ardent
Here is the example for today:
5. Spend 15 minutes people-watching in the mall. Write down dialogue, conversations and interesting people descriptions. Then start writing a scene with dialogue only. Can you incorporate all the descriptive elements using just dialogue?
Good luck and Happy Writing!

Really good prompts, Pam. Wish I had time to try them out.
Thanks for visiting, Barb. I know, so many prompts and great ideas, so little time. I have an index card/recipe box that I put ideas on. Then, when you're stuck, you just pull one out and write!
