Ninety Writing Prompts

Sometimes the hardest part of writing is just beginning. Catherine makes that part a little easier for writers of all ages and experience.

Here she gives you ninety starting points - little prompts to get the creative juices going and the pencil moving. That gives you enough to do at least a bit of writing every day for three months, or every school day for one semester. (If you're using the prompts for students - you could write the day's prompts on the board.)

The idea here is to ignite your imagination, and get you writing! You may use the prompts any way that strikes you – write part of a funny story, or a sad or mysterious one...or make a few notes for any direction it points you in. Use them in the order they are given, or whatever order they strike your fancy. The important thing is to write, and to do it regularly!
