Sometimes we need a little kick in the butt to get us to start writing. To do something to get those writing juices just flowing. So here are a few idea.
1) Make a group who takes turns coming up with the writing prompt. The group can make up the rules as they go or set it up ahead of time.
2) Google, (or your search engine of choice), writing prompts. Be careful what you put in. Some topics may not be what you think they are or should be. There are a lot that are meant for school age kids, but that doesn’t mean they can’t work. Sometimes those teachers have some great ideas to start with.
3) Make your own list! Take a few days, or weeks, and just write a list of ideas that might be good or not good. Then take one a day, a week, a month to get you going. Who knows? Maybe it will turn into something grand!
4) This can also work for campaigns for roleplaying. If you write down a list of ideas then take one a day or a week and try and flush it out, it may help you with campaign ideas. Obviously, not every one is going to work, but it will get you thinking.
To help you on your way my idea for the week is the end of
the world. Now I know this is overdone,
but it doesn’t have to be zombies or nuclear war, but your own twist. Just something to get you writing!
Happy Writing.
