This follow-up to the popular e-book 365 Prompts to Kickstart Your Writing features writing prompts geared for writers. Interspaced between prompts that are appropriate for anyone, every third prompt deals with some aspect about writing.
Writing prompts can help you get into a writing groove. Instead of staring at a blank page, prompts give you the kick in the butt you need to get writing. Follow them in numerical order or jump around to a question that sparks your creativity. Use the following prompts to get writing, one prompt for every day of the year.
1. If you had the opportunity to change lives with anyone for a week, who would you pick and why?
2. If you could go back to any age and start your life over again with the knowledge that you have now, what age would you like to go back to? What decisions do you think you would make differently?
3. What are your strengths when it comes to your writing? What are your weaknesses?
4. If you put aside one dollar a day for the next decade of your life, in ten years you would have $3,650 saved up. Not taking into consideration inflation or what you think the power of the dollar will be in a decade, what would you spend that money on?
5. If you had to go to Venice, the city in Europe with no streets, only water with boats to get you from place to place, how do you think you would adjust to having no land beneath your feet? Do you think you would enjoy it or would it be challenging to you? If you have been to Venice, how different is it to get from place to place by boat and not walk or drive everywhere?
6. Imagine your ideal editor. What does he or she look like? What makes him or her your dream editor?
7. What is one thing you’ve always wanted to do but never accomplished? It could be learning to play an instrument, partaking in an activity, or going somewhere. What has stopped you from achieving it and why?
8. At what point, if any, does age difference play a role in a relationship? Is 20 years too big of a gap? 30? Or perhaps 40? Or is it not possible to have too big of an age gap between lovers?
9. Your writing voice plays a role in how successful you are as a writer. Some people say you are born with your writing voice while others claim you can develop a strong writing voice. Which do you think is true and how often do you think about your writing voice?
10. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? If you have become that, how would your life be different today? If you are in that career now, is it what you thought it would be when you were a child?
11. Are physical or emotional affairs more dangerous to a marriage? Explain.
12. If your only job and responsibility in life was to be a writer, what would your schedule look like? Chronicle a typical day for yourself.
13. If you could go back and change one decision you made in your life, what decision would you change and why? What would you do differently?
14. Do you think the ability to
