Tips for Using Writing Prompts
- Set a timer: Give yourself 10-15 minutes to write. This builds the habit without pressure.
- Do not edit while writing: Get the words down first. Edit later.
- Twist the prompt: The prompt is just a spark. Take it in any direction you want.
- Use it as a first line: Start your story with the prompt as the opening sentence.
- Combine prompts: Save two or three and blend elements from each for a unique story.
- Change the POV: Rewrite the same prompt from a different character's perspective.
