Writing Prompt Wednesday

Writing Prompt WednesdayWelcome to Wednesday, as well as another edition of “Writing Prompt Wednesday” where I hope to get you over the weekly hump and into the land of writing. Try these on for size:

  • “Next!” the woman behind the glass yelled
  • The house made her feel . . .
  • “You’ll want to step back . . .”
  • Meg saw it before I did.
  • The empty bottle . . .
  • Robert felt the effects immediately.
  • He picked her for a reason.
  • She’d seen him [fill in the blank activity] a thousand times. This time . . .

Happy writing!

Writing Prompt Wednesday

I love writing prompts—they’re a heck of a lot of fun to come up with. In my efforts to blog more regularly (aren’t you folks lucky 😉 ) I’ve decided to designate every other Wednesday as “Writing Prompt Wednesday.” I hope you’ll find them useful and that they jump start your creativity; they certainly have for me. Since my first writing prompt post, I’ve written a couple of flash fiction pieces that I’ve then submitted: one to an anthology and one to a contest. Instead of keeping these prompts tucked away somewhere on my computer, I thought I’d share them with all of you. 

  • The peeling wallpaper revealed . . .
  • Kevin said a prayer and took a step . . .
  • She wore it just to . . .
  • All this time she thought she was being clever.
  • Anyone could see it didn’t fit.
  • She loosened the screws on the . . . 
  • I saw it coming, but no one . . .
  • The fire burned . . .

Happy writing!
