If you haven’t started a regular (daily is best) writing practice, now’s the time to do that if you’re serious about becoming a better writer.
Use this week’s creative writing prompts and start a new short story every morning this week.
You can even combine several prompts to come up with a single story.
Each written prompt also has a visual prompt.
Happy writing!
