What is a writing prompt?
A writing prompt is a starting point: a situation, a question or an idea that gets you writing before you've decided what to write.
It skips the blank page.
The kinds of prompts
The generator has 10 kinds, our own prompts, plus 2 that build from you:
- Fiction: romance, thriller, mystery, fantasy, science fiction, literary.
- True stories: memoir, and a nonfiction chapter.
- Everyday writing: newsletters and posts, and your journal.
- Story spark: a character, a goal, an obstacle and a place, mixed.
- Your next chapter: from the outline you made in the book outline generator.

The generator counts the days in a row you ask for a prompt. It's kept in your browser.
