A few writing prompts

* Write about postcards.
What? you say. If you can't think of anything to wrote try freewriting for 10 minutes & see what you come up with.

*Write about someone you love to hate.
Sounds terrible, doesn't it? But most every one has someone who just rubs them wrong. Send thirty minutes writing about that someone. What is it about them that annoys you?

*Start a short story with this opening line:
So he can take the consequences of associating with me . . .
Go for about two pages and see what you get.

I'll leave you with this quote:
"Stories are light. Light is precious in a world so dark."
~Kate DiCamillo

I agree with you that some writing prompts as inspiration is a must. It can be anything. If you love writing and penning down your thoughts, take a look, get some ideas, some inspiration, anything you need to write and get it going.

Thank you for sharing this.
