Get in a little writing practice this week with these new creative prompts.
Monday’s Prompt – The Island of Lost Ideas
What if all the story ideas you’ve ever abandoned ended up somewhere?
Describe the moment your main character lands on that island—and meets one of yours.
Tuesday’s Prompt – Window Number Four
At the old post office downtown, there’s a dusty window that’s never open.
Until today.
Your character is the first in line when it slides open.
Who’s behind it, and what are they offering?
Wednesday’s Prompt – The Museum of Broken Clocks
Your character finds themselves in a strange museum filled with clocks that have all stopped at different times.
But one of them starts ticking again when they walk past it.
What moment is waiting to be relived?
Thursday’s Prompt – The Secret Beneath the Ice Cream Truck
An old ice cream truck rolls into town each Thursday at dusk—but no one ever sees who’s driving.
Kids whisper that it holds a secret.
This week, your character decides to follow it.
Friday’s Prompt – The Character Who Refused to Be Written
Your main character suddenly won’t cooperate.
Every time you try to write their scene, they vanish.
Where do they go—and what are they trying to tell you?
Saturday’s Prompt – The Welcome Basket
Your character moves into a new apartment and finds a welcome basket waiting on the counter.
There’s no note, but each item seems to know something personal.
What’s in the basket—and who left it?
Sunday’s Prompt – The House That Rewrites Itself
Each night, your character wakes up in a slightly different version of their home.
One night the doors are gone.
Another night, the kitchen’s filled with candles.
Tonight?
Something’s waiting in the mirror.
