Creative writing prompts are short questions or situations that are meant to inspire you to write. Far beyond the typical, “It was a dark and stormy night...” story starters, this new collection of 1,000 prompts has been specifically formulated to dig deep into the creative process. The prompts employ thought-provoking questions, imaginative scenarios and humor to help writers of all ages defeat writer’s block.
Genre: EDUCATION / GeneralThis book has sold a few hundred copies so far, but it is about to be a part of a major advertising campaign and I have very high hopes. It has ranked on the Writing Skills charts and it will be turned into five different workbooks.
The Past
1. If you could travel back to any time in the past, what date would you choose and why? Would you attempt to influence past events while you were there? Why or why not?
2. What past memory do you cherish the most and why? If you could trade that memory for something amazing to happen in the future, would you do it? Why or why not?
3. What past decade or century would you consider your favorite and why? Do you think you'd be happier living back then or in the present day and why?
4. What is your biggest regret from the past and why? What did you learn from this incident and how has it helped you going forward?
5. A time traveler from the future says that he needs your help to right some wrongs in the past. Do you trust this stranger and help him on his mission? Why or why not? After your decision, what happens next?
