As part of my creative writing course, we had to create our own writing prompts. I felt pretty proud of mine, so I thought I’d share them with you!

1. In a public place, create a story from the first thing you hear someone say.
2. Avoid using punctuation (except that which changes the word, like an apostrophe).
3. Write a conversation without direct speech.
4. Look on your local ‘buy and sell’ page, write something about an item listed.
5. Write about what frustrates you.
6. Create a menu without naming any foods.
7. Pick an emotion and describe it. Once done, write it again, but opposite (i.e. if your chosen emotion was negative, then the rewrite will be positive).
8. Write about something human that you can’t see, e.g. electricity, wi-fi.
9. Find an old Facebook post. Write as you did then.
10. Make the most boring thing you can think of interesting.

Finally have a picture that I took at uni as a prompt!
