I promised myself that I wouldn’t give you the “April showers” line again this year, but since it’s been raining all day, it’s all I can think about. So I might’ve failed to deliver a pithy intro, but I still have five new writing prompts for you.
- A port city is being used as a bargaining chip in the feud between rival barons. How do the city’s leaders feel about this?
- Humanity has nuked itself into extinction. How do the remaining animals survive in the wasteland left behind?
- A couple are traveling to spend a holiday with family. They end up getting stranded somewhere along the way. How will they reach their destination now?
- The main character became a workaholic to meet her father’s high expectations. The father has recently passed away. Will the main character finally take time for herself? Or will old habits die hard?
- A foreign correspondent is called to the scene of a riot. Write from the perspective of the underpaid and overworked cameraman who has to accompany the journalist.
