It's the month of love (and really hot weather--I'm mildly dying) so why don't we take advantage of that before it's … Continue reading Romance Month Writing Prompts
If you've spent any time on the internet as a writer, you've probably run into the concept of an AU prompt. An AU prompt is an "alternative universe" idea of a current work of fiction (and sometimes nonfiction). It has been seen a lot in the fanfiction world (which I'll defend at a later time). … Continue reading AU Writing Prompts
I've never been more excited for 6 pm because it's no longer dark as night. You can hear birds chirping. I haven't worn a coat in three weeks. Of course, I've worn sweatshirts, but no coats!

Preface: I know I totally talked about platonic love last week and said that romantic love wasn't everything. That still reigns true, but sometimes you get characters that fall in love. It happens. Second preface: I have been out of the dating game for like 2 years so I don't understand it anymore. Like legit … Continue reading Writing Prompt: Character “Dating Profiles”
Next weekend is basically the last real summer holiday weekend of the year (at least in the United States): Labor Day Weekend. It's usually the last hurrah for kids before school. The last chance the weather will actually work with you for a BBQ and pool time. The last chance to express your feelings to … Continue reading Vacation Prompts

If you couldn't tell already, I'm an American. I have very American centric posts. I assume the summer starts in June and will probably say inches instead of centimeters. And this week, I bring another set of prompts that are...well...American in nature. For anyone who might not be familiar with it (though I doubt anyone … Continue reading The Most American Prompts (4th of July Edition)
