Daily writing prompts for the first week of May



Inspire your writing today

being a creative writer is one of the most enjoyable parts of my life it can also be one of the most frustrating, when held tightly in the grip of writing block or even worse doubt over my own ability it seems that even my ideas themselves vanish.

It was in one of these moments that I discovered how useful a writing prompt can be, how just a small idea can spark an unexpected journey, producing surprising results that may be able to stand on their own or hold hidden gems that you the writer can return back to at a later date.


Having had my own success with writing prompts I started writing my own, Story starters, writing themes and picture prompts. All of which I share here in the hopes that they may help inspire others.
