    About this ebook

    A collection of 52 writing prompts for short fictional stories, one for every day of the week.

    These make great writing journals for creative writing class, ESL or EFL courses, or for personal use. Tell me a story about:

    A genie that grants wishes by taking things away from other people

    A mirror that lets you see what is happening anywhere in the world but only for 60 seconds

    A magic book that writes down everything you say and do, no matter how good or bad.

    A computer program that can instantly teach you one skill.

    Guiding questions help with the brainstorming process and an introduction discusses story structure and the writing process. There's even a sample outline to use.

    Get inspired. Get creative. Write on.

      How Surrealism Can Bring A Spark To Your Writing

      Oct 18, 2021

      In one of my first undergraduate writing workshops, our professor informed us that she was only interested in “normal” fiction. When we asked her to specify, her response boiled down to “no orcs.” I have deep sympathy for my professors’ fears of rece

      HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

      Any way you want!

      THIS BOOK IS FULL OF ideas, one for every week of the year! But an idea alone is not a story. You need to build a story. That means you need to find a way to show how the idea affects people’s lives. So a story has characters. Events happen to those characters. They react in some way. Eventually, there is some kind of resolution.

      The guiding questions under each prompt are meant to help you find the story from the idea. Feel free to pick and chose the questions that seem intriguing to you or add your own. Generally, with any idea it’s always good to think about three things:

      1)  What’s the best thing that could happen?

      2)  What’s the worst thing that could happen?

      3)  What is the mood of my story?

      4)  What situation/characters/actions would best show the idea behind my story?

      In a world where robots have replaced humans as workers, for example, the best thing that can happen is that the robots work extremely well. Every need is taken care of and people have free time to do anything they want: travel, create art, be with friends
