    About this ebook

    A sequel to 201 Writing Prompts, Writing Prompts and More offers writing prompts plus lots of other routes to creativity and getting your words on the page. Four chapters of the book hold 100 new writing prompts and the remaining seven chapters invite you to explore multiple ways into stories or give you ideas to help break through writer's block.

    Writing prompts can inspire us with words and questions and, sometimes, photographs, but there are other sources that we can tap into to find our stories. I hope you enjoy your journey through these pages, and I hope that journey's end is the story that you've always wanted to write.

    At http://wrightingwords.com, people write this about Heather's writing prompts:

    Hi! I just wanted to say that these are the most helpful prompts I've ever read! They don't tell you what to write about just things to spark ideas and it's fantastic. I sincerely hope you write more soon!

    I've been having writer's block and this helped a lot. I don't know what I would do without this website.

    I've taken on the writing prompts as a year's challenge! I'll pick 365 of the 460 possibilities and write each day on one! Thanks so much for helping me find my creativity again!

      Introduction

      Writing Prompts and More is what it says, more than just writing prompts, though you will find 100 in its pages. Because there are lots of other routes to creativity, each chapter will invite you to explore another way inspire your stories or break through writer’s block.

      Writing prompts inspire us with words and questions and, sometimes, photographs, but there are other sources that we can tap into to find our stories. I’m always looking for new writing inspirations. Every month I create new writing prompts on my blog (http://wrightingwords.com), and when I lead workshops or visit classrooms, I love helping people find new ways to discover their voice and their story.

      My search for new resources is never ending, but now seemed like a good time
