The Writing Prompts That You’ve Been Looking For
Picture this: You are stuck at home during a crazy pandemic and you want to write, well you want to do ANYTHING really, but specifically write. You are braindead from watching so much Disney+ that you can't think of anything more effective to do than sleep. Your teachers haven't given you anything to do yet because you are technically on spring break, but you can't go to the mall, or the movies, or Starbucks or your favorite restaurant. The most exciting thing you've done all week has been going to the store to get some veggies. You hate veggies. The store is right across the road from you. You can't sleep well because there is a creature called a SIBLING doing what sounds like riding elephants in their room.
Sounds a lot like most all of us right now, although maybe not all of us have siblings (woah I’m imagining 😍). ANYWAY, you are braindead and you need an escape, or just SOMETHING to do! We are here to help you write an amazing story using these rad, homemade prompts below. Have fun!
1. Your character is lost in an enchanted forest when they stumble across 3 lost keys. What do they do with them?
2. Find your favorite book on your shelf. Write it from another characters point of view.
3. Your character is at an antique coin dealership when a man pulls them away and offers them a magical lost family heirloom that could save their bank account, their job and the place their family is at financially and emotionally.
4. Your character has a disability acquired at birth. Turns out, thats not the truth.
5. The city your character has lived in for 13 years is a lost city that used to be named New York City. Everybody's job is done by artificial intelligence with a plot to destroy and overrule the world.
6. Mac n’ Cheese is the only food your characters distant world eats. Turns out, maybe it's a plot against the population.
7. Your character has been selected (along with 6 other tributes) to live on Mars. They were sent out to test if living on Mars could be satisfactory for the entire population of Earth. (set in the future)
8. The futuristic world your character lives on is colorless - literally. One by one, the population begins to see color, leaving his world in a traumatic, vulnerable state. What can he/she do to stop it??
9. Your character and the rest of his community believes anything the supreme government says, ultimately giving the government to control their actions and their minds. They don't know better! But when they start to issue problematic commands, the community starts to fall apart.
10. The book your character is reading suddenly comes to life in a traumatic way. Only he/she can fix it, but they need help, and they don't know where to start.
11. Take a children’s book and re-write it with detail.
12. It is escape or death. And I’m not ready to die...
13. Ever since my childhood, a dark figure no one else can see has followed me around, never to far away, whispering advice in my ear. I have never been lonely or bored with it to talk to...
14. All I could hear was the steady drip... drip... drip.. of water on stone. All I could see was the stone wall I was chained in front of. All I could smell was the...
I hope these were useful to you, and I hope you aren't too bored. I would love to read any stories you begin to write surrounding these prompts, or, any other story you've been writing to keep me entertained. Feel free the send them in, on just share them!
Keep living life random! Keep writing! Stay healthy!
