The Buzz on Writing Prompts

 



The buzz on writing prompts begins with words that motivate, inspire, nudge even, your creative flow. A writing prompt could hold encouraging words for anyone, at any time in life. Writing prompts are words, sentences and paragraphs that hold a special meaning to the reader. The specific meaning moves a person to act. Look at the following writing prompts.

     1. The wind danced against my window.

     2. Make better choices.

     3. A scent, memory or toy from an earlier time.

The buzz on writing prompts acts as a much needed "starting place," http://www.pw.org/writing-prompts-exercises, according to Poets & Writers.

I am going to work with the first writing prompt: The wind danced against my window.

I was snatched out of a troubling sleep as the wind danced against my window. There was something out of place in my bedroom, but I didn't know what or why. The dim light from my digital clock read 2:47 a. m. I tried to relax when someone or something moved in my closet. 

 
     1. What should be the next line?

     2. Have fun with it.

     3. Pass the post on.
