Do you want to keep your writing brain active, even if you’re not working on a project at the moment? Once a week I’ll give you writing prompts in three different forms: a person, object or place; a starting point, and an image.
I suggest you use one, two, or all three of these together as prompts for a micro-story (250 words or fewer). On the go? Write it on your smartphone or in a little notebook.
If you are working on a longer project, notice whether any of these gives you a new idea about some aspect of that.
Don’t worry about making it perfect or whether it’ll get published-–although if you like it, why not publish it on your blog or send it to a friend?
The person, object or place: a charity shop (Goodwill, Oxfam, etc.)
The starting point: Someone comments on your protagonist's appearance.
