This is a thread to exchange prompts and works made off of them. You can post prompts here, or find ones that get your creativity going and post whatever you make of them–writing, poetry, or even visual art, if the image-uploader works. Feel free to change the prompts as much as you want, cut them up, or combine two of them together.
Here are a few to start.
-The first thing (name) saw when (they) woke up was that it was raining.
-(name) watched the clock ticking as…
-“That, m’dear, was then. Now things are very different.”
-There are times when I’ve heard in the silence the sigh of a faraway song.
-Summer
-Several scenes that appear at first only to be connected by ringing bells, but actually have much more in common–they could be about the same place, family, or group of friends, etc. Or use a different connecting element.
-It was the kind of (town, city) I’d dreamed about for a long time.
-The strong, nearby smell of (their) perfume mingled with the odor of distant smoke.And…
=Pick a few lines from a book, poem, or song. (#4 above is from a song.)
=Explore an idea, like freedom, winter, or sisterhood (or summer, which is #5). You don’t have to start with the idea; write about it. Like picking a theme, I guess, and writing something around it. For an OC that you already have that you’re trying to develop, you could pick an idea and write about what they think about it, which might be helpful.The inspiration for this thread is Take a bullet… that was around in Inkwell way back in the first half of the 2020s, if anyone remembers it. I just thought I’d mention that.
Anyway, use these prompts to get your creativity flowing, and to have fun! -
Oh I remember this! I’ve made quite a few good short stories from these prompts, so maybe I could do more (I’ll come back when I do).
For now, here’s a few prompts:
– We have all the time in the world.
– “Death will not be the end of me…”
– The last traces of winter had faded away, but that didn’t mean it was the end of (name)’s troubles.
– Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever see [name] again.Other Prompts:
– Start and end a story with the same line.
– Pick a color and center your story around the color.
– Pick a mythology/fairy tale story and write a twist in it or modernize it.
