25 Writing Prompts to Help End Writer's Block for Good
Hi! Welcome to The Aspiring Author! If you're new to my blog you can start here to learn a bit about me, or we can skip that and get to the good stuff:)
As teen authors, I'm sure there have been plenty of times when we get motivated and say, "I'm going to write a book!" Then we sit at the computer and... nothing. We're drained of all inspiration. The worst, right? It's happened several times to me, if not more! So how can we fix this? It's always the same answer for me: writing prompts!
Prompts are the perfect way to get the brain juices flowing and spark some creativity, so I made a list of my favorite writing prompts to end writer's block once and for all. Enjoy!😊
#1. If you were forced to wear a warning label, what would it say?
#2. Write a story where the pretty girl doesn't fall in love with the hero, but with the villain.
#3. Though she had never seen the man in her entire life, she knew exactly who he was.
#4. There were no guards at the prison, yet the prisoners were too afraid to try and escape.
#5. You were cleaning your attic out when you found a box with glass balls in it. They had names on them, and when you accidentally broke one, a person appeared.
#6. You have the ability to freeze time, as well as everyone with it. One day, you freeze time, and see a girl moving around.
#7. "Why did you put fireworks next to the bomb?" "I wanted it to be pretty." "It was supposed to be subtle!"
#8. Though they walk on two legs, you mustn't confuse them with human beings.
#9. When they bought the house, they assumed the scratches on the basement door were from the previous owner's dog. But the previous owner didn't have one. The next morning, the scratches multiplied.
#10. The horn sounded. "Let the dragon egg hunt commence!"
#11. You know what they say: "Store bought dreams are never as good as regular ones!"
#12. "Whether or not you believe in us, we will continue to exist."
#13. The diary entries of the knight who is in love with the dragon he must slay.
#14. "What's your exit strategy?" "Our what?" "Oh my gosh, we're all gonna die."
#15. After you accidentally killed the hero, you must journey to complete his quest.
#16. You have the ability to measure how "dangerous" people are on a scale from 1 to 10. A little child would be a 1, when a man with a rifle might be a seven. Today, you noticed that the charming new kid at school is a 10.
#17. Write about a funeral from the dead man's point of view.
#18. When the full moon rose, she tried to tie herself up. It wasn't as effective as she thought.
#19. "So, they rode off into the sunset..." "What's a sunset?" "I don't know, but my grandpa saw one once."
#20. "Do they exist?" "No." "Then why is one staring right at me?"
#21. "Human," your unlikely companion asks, "what is this peculiar object?" "It's a phone. You call people with it."
#22. All the howling dogs in the neighborhood fall silent at the same time, then the lights flicker out.
#23. Your father taught you a strange language as a child. You turn 18, and find out why...
#24. Write a story that will make you afraid of the dark.
#25. You are a good local healer and are loved by your people. But you don't really heal injuries, just transfer them. The people in the valley below know you by a different name...
Thanks so much, everyone, for visiting my blog! If you liked any of these prompts or found any helpful I'd love for you to share this post with friends and/or social media. The more you share or save, the more we can do with this blog! Until next time!:)
