Here are all of my writing prompts for you in one place. No more searching. Have fun with them. If you'd like them formatted differently, let me know. No promises, but I'll see what I can do. For now, newest ones will be listed on top. I'm not going to separate them by genre (yet at least). I'm not going to number them yet, either, unless there is a call for it. I hope these are inspirational. I'll do my best to update this every Monday when the new prompt comes out. There's no need
to give me any credit for any story you come up with. Of course, I
never mind if you do give me credit for the writing prompt, but it's not
necessary.
