Do you ever feel like getting creative and writing a story but you have no idea what to write about? Well, lucky you, below are 15 of my favorite creative prompts that you can use for anything from fun to homework. Just let your imagination flow!
1. The first scene starts with a note found on a hotel notepad.
2. "Did you just drug my shake...?!"
3. "Legend says that, due to old natural magic — if you plant a tree over the grave of a dead person, the tree will retain the consciousness of the deceased."
4. You realize you are just a rat in a lab being fed a vision of what you perceive to be common day reality.
5. You are experiencing flashbacks of your life as you lay there dying. The next thing you know, you are born again as a different human, a different mother's child. As you grow older, you realize you are more mature than all of the other kids, you know more; only then you realize you have lived a previous life, and you remember every second of it.
6. If imaginary friends were real.
7. "I first met the grim reaper when it came for my twin brother."
8. Write a story from the perspective of a mosquito.
9. If only they knew I was the one whispering in their ear. I was the one sending them signs by pushing the cup off the edge of the table, slamming the door, sleeping under their bed at night. If only they would believe enough in me, enough so I could finally appear and they could finally see me. That way, I could warn them of what was really coming for them. Warn them before it is too late, for all, it is too late for me.
10. Write a story from the point of view from an object in the room.
11. Dear you, the body you are wearing used to be mine, i'm writing this letter to you because it's necessary for your survival. The rest,well ... that is a little more complicated.
12. If being deaf and speaking sign language was the norm, and being able to hear, speaking with your vocal chords was something that happened because you were in an accident or you were simply born with it.
13. They finally found the end to the universe, and what they found, none could compare.
14. Take the fourth line from one of your favorite songs and use that as your prompt.
15. Describe what the world would look like to someone who has never seen it before.
I hope you find some of my prompts influential. If you write a story, I will be thrilled to read it!
