I’ve devoted nearly five years of my aging brain to writing prompts here on WordPress, and I need a break. I hope any of you who need a bit of inspiration will go back and do some of the writing prompts from past years. I’m sure I will pop in here from time to time to post a random word or two. Until then, you can find me writing regularly on my other blog, www.herwritinghaven.com
Welcome to another month of story starters. Please use these prompts to inspire you to write about anything you like, whether a fictional or non-fictional story, poem, narrative, journal entry, etc. Just be creative! And be sure to leave me a link or a pingback so that I can find all of your lovely writings. Have a great month, everyone! ~M xo
Week 1 (March 1-7) – The giant fell into the raging sea.
Week 2 (March 8-14) – Gamma rays entered her veins.
Week 3 (March 15-21) – Paper stars and green fizz.
Week 4 (March 22-31) – He traced every curve with the tip of his tongue.
If you’re new to prompt writing, and don’t really understand how to use the prompts, please consider the following writing exercise.
Settle into your favorite place in the house with a hot drink to warm your waking bones. Once you’ve warmed up a bit; grab your journal, a trusty pen, and a timer. Then, set your timer for ten minutes and begin writing about one of the prompts. Don’t worry about spelling, punctuation, neatness, or anything like that; just write! Write about anything and everything that comes to your mind, and don’t stop until the ten minutes are up.
I often find myself writing short stories or poems during those ten minutes, but you can write about anything you like. And don’t be alarmed if what you’ve written doesn’t quite make sense. The whole idea behind doing this exercise is to get your mind ready and working so that you can begin your day. Just think of it as exercise for your brain, and once you’ve done your ten minutes of writing, you’ll feel more prepared to tackle the rest of your day.
As always, I will be writing and posting over on my other blog, which can be found here. So please come visit me if you get a chance, and hopefully I can keep up with all of you!
And one last thing before I forget! I made a quick tutorial for those of you who have been having trouble trying to figure out how to Pingback your posts. Please go here, if you’d like to view the tutorial.
Welcome to another month of writing prompts. The following prompts are ones I’ve used in the past for my own writing efforts, but to my knowledge have never been published. After nearly four years of posting writing prompts for all of you, it is getting harder to keep track of what I’ve posted and what I haven’t. So please forgive me if you see a duplicate prompt from time to time. Have a great month everyone!

Then, she realized the mistake she had made.
Shiny onyx pebbles lined the path.
His appetite was insatiable.
The crooked road.
The fragrance of honeysuckle was all he remembered.
The likeness was uncanny.
Peridot was the color of her eyes.
A splash of whimsy and touch of color.
The mushrooms began to dance.
There was something more.
The azaleas wept as they were plucked from their beds.
Tinsel and ribbon.
The secret.
Dandelion wishes.
Whispering on the wind, I heard her voice.
Jelly donuts make everything better.
The soft pitter patter of the rain, quieted my soul.
The perfect day.
Tiny footsteps tiptoed to the door.
Smoke filled clouds billowed out of the beast.
She gave me a penny for my thoughts.
A new day had come in the midst of despair.
Fields of tulips lined the waterways.
Her kiss left a lasting impression.
The moon illuminated the dismally dark path.
Crystals sat atop, adorning each glossy blade of grass.
Gobbly glops of goop oozed into her soup.
The spider gave her quite a scare, as it crawled into her underwear.
I shuddered at the thought of becoming a prisoner once more.
The cherry blossoms carpeted the way.

Pasteurized promises.
Guilty pleasures.
She was a damsel in distress.
Stricken with a curse.
Melted butter caused her to shudder.
They marched onward.
The smell of victory.
Created for his pleasure.
Happiness could be seen in her smile.
The king ruled with an iron fist.
Unblemished perfection.
The tea pot snarled at the sugar dish.
He shirked his responsibilities.
Crabapples lined the walkway.
The chocolate wasn’t chocolate.
The silvery web became tangled around his throat.
It appeared that the tree held all the answers.
The book came alive and she was sucked into its pages.
The sky was crimson and sprinkled with golden hues.
She sank into oblivion as she realized his fate.
The essence of her lingered on the cool night air.
I was five and the world still seemed like a fairly pleasant place.
Everlasting peppermint sticks with endless licks.
Her eyes said everything that she couldn’t say.
The elixir bubbled over and burned a hole right through the floor.
It was 1972…
The tides of yesterday were easily forgotten.
The taste of victory was finally his.
They never knew who he really was.
Only a few embers remained.
His reflection was not his own.
