Writing prompts - a short story
Lisa couldn’t believe it. Yes, she’d taken on the challenge to write every day. Yes, she’d promised to try some of these random writing prompts you could generate online. Had she known the outcome would be so outrageous, she’d never have done it. What were you supposed to do with a shipwrecked, cowardly fireman who somehow had anything to do with a music instrument? Was he going to realize that his talents lie elsewhere? Could he somehow manage to use the instrument to call for the help he desperately needed? Befriend it as Tom Hanks befriends a volleyball in Cast Away? If made out of wood, perhaps it could be used to construct a raft.
Lisa shook her head. Writing prompts. At this point even the ice bucket challenge sounded better.

What makes for a challenging creative writing prompt?
Creative writing prompts can be a lot of fun to write. However, not all ideas are created equal. Some topics are more difficult than others. Some of the most challenging prompts may include animal-human hybrids or autobiographical essays.
It is important for creative writers to have a variety of writing assignments and creative writing prompts. While some may seem easy at first glance, they can be quite challenging when it comes to actually sitting down and putting words on paper.
The idea of how to write on the given topic is often what makes for a good writing prompt. It's important to have an idea of what you want your story to be about and what you want readers to learn from it. Writing prompts often give you topics that you wouldn't think about yourself, so it's important that when reading the resulting story, one can tell that there is something interesting about the topic and not just something random.
Story prompts modeled after the 48 Hour Film Project
Writing prompts should be challenging. Because of this, I've modeled this story idea generator after the 48 Hour Film Project model.

The importance of writing prompts for authors
For quite some time, the idea of writing prompts has been something of a useful resource for writers of all levels. Writing prompts can have a significant impact on both the quality and quantity of your output, whether you're a novice looking to improve your writing confidence or an experienced professional looking for fresh ideas. Prompts help you come up with ideas you didn't know you had, making your writing go further and faster than it would have otherwise. Many writers struggle with blocks, writer's block, and generally low levels of productivity without them. Writing prompts are essential because they assist in inspiring you and reviving your creative juices. But first, let's talk about what exactly writing prompts are. A statement, idea, or sentence that encourages writers to come up with ideas and start writing is known as a writing prompt. A simple word or a lengthy sentence that prompts the writer to respond could be used. It is essential to keep in mind that prompts for writing are typically incomplete and necessitate further investigation. They are most effective when used to motivate the writer to investigate the subject more deeply and develop their own original story or perspective that they would not have otherwise considered. Anywhere and on any subject can be used as a prompt. You could get a prompt from someone else, like an editor, teacher, or mentor, or you could look within yourself for one. In either case, the way you approach a prompt is the key to making the most of it and maximizing its impact. Setting a timetable for progressing your writing is one of the most effective ways to use a prompt to advance it. That one sentence might end up being the subject of an entire article, opinion piece, or even novel! If you give yourself deadlines and goals to meet, you will stay on track and continue to develop the prompt's initial idea, which is when you will reap its full benefits. Naturally, there is no right or wrong in creative writing, and anything can be interpreted and considered. You don't have to use the prompt exactly as it was given to you or take it at face value. Writing prompts are adaptable and can be tailored to each person. They can be used to write about personal issues that you might not have been comfortable discussing before. Additionally, prompts can be utilized to dismantle self-imposed boundaries, thought patterns, and preconceived notions. A writer might, for instance, come up with a prompt that forces them to look at a subject from a different angle. By allowing the writer to look at a subject from a different perspective, a prompt has the power to enhance one's understanding of it when used in this manner. Whether you use them to gather ideas, improve your writing abilities, or just for fun, writing prompts are extremely useful resources for writers of all levels. Naturally, it is the individual's responsibility to make the most of the prompts that come their way. Writing prompts, on the other hand, are not to be undervalued as a useful tool for assisting writers on their journey.
5 questions to help you come up with writing prompts
- What unique life experiences have I had?
- What recent news event could I use to inspire a story?
- What emotions do I want to explore?
- What classic stories could be re-told from a different perspective?
- What unsolved mysteries need re-telling?
Can I use the random writing prompts that this tool creates?

Creative Writing Prompts
When the idea to start a weekly newsletter with writing inspiration first came to us, we decided that we wanted to do more than provide people with topics to write about. We wanted to try and help authors form a regular writing habit and also give them a place to proudly display their work. So we started the weekly Creative Writing Prompts newsletter. Since then, Prompts has grown to a community of more than 450,000 authors, complete with its own literary magazine, Prompted .
Here's how our contest works: every Friday, we send out a newsletter containing five creative writing prompts. Each week, the story ideas center around a different theme. Authors then have one week — until the following Friday — to submit a short story based on one of our prompts. A winner is picked each week to win $250 and is highlighted on our Reedsy Prompts page.
Interested in participating in our short story contest? Sign up here for more information! Or you can check out our full Terms of Use and our FAQ page .

Beyond creative writing prompts: how to build a writing routine
While writing prompts are a great tactic to spark your creative sessions, a writer generally needs a couple more tools in their toolbelt when it comes to developing a rock-solid writing routine . To that end, here are a few more additional tips for incorporating your craft into your everyday life.
- NNWT. Or, as book coach Kevin Johns calls it , “Non-Negotiable Writing Time.” This time should be scheduled into your routine, whether that’s once a day or once a week. Treat it as a serious commitment, and don’t schedule anything else during your NNWT unless it’s absolutely necessary.
- Set word count goals. And make them realistic! Don’t start out with lofty goals you’re unlikely to achieve. Give some thought to how many words you think you can write a week, and start there. If you find you’re hitting your weekly or daily goals easily, keep upping the stakes as your craft time becomes more ingrained in your routine.
- Talk to friends and family about the project you’re working on. Doing so means that those close to you are likely to check in about the status of your piece — which in turn keeps you more accountable.
Arm yourself against writer’s block. Writer’s block will inevitably come, no matter how much story ideas initially inspire you. So it’s best to be prepared with tips and tricks you can use to keep yourself on track before the block hits. You can find 20 solid tips here — including how to establish a relationship with your inner critic and apps that can help you defeat procrastination or lack of motivation.

Writing From the Heart
One of the easiest ways to write a terrific story is to write about what you know. You can use prompts below to help you harness your own life and background to come up with story ideas that are easy to develop.
Story Ideas
- Look into your family tree. Is there anybody nobody knows anything about? Make up an explanation.
- What is the least convenient personal habit for a detective? Write about that detective.
- Think about your most offbeat friend. What if he/she had to fill a conventional and important role such as running the country
- What was the last thing you lost that never turned up? Write a story describing a sinister reason for its disappearance.
- Think about the last good decision you made. What would have happened if you'd made the wrong choice?
- Think about the more prudish person you know. Now sit him/her next to somebody behaving inappropriately on a train.
- Imagine you stumble upon a letter that was never sent. What was in it and why?
- Look at the last message you sent. What might have happened if you'd accidentally sent it to the wrong person?
- Think of a wish. Now imagine the granting of the wish has unexpected consequences.
- Look at the front page of your local paper. Could there be a conspiracy behind the main headline?
- You're on a jury and you distrust one of your fellow jurors. Why?
- Think of a celebrity you dislike. Now imagine your Sunday lunch if a member of your family brought him/her as a date.
- Look through your photographs until you find one with a stranger in the background. Write a fictional account of his/her five minutes leading up to the taking of the photograph.
Types of Story
According to Christopher Booker, there are seven types of story
Overcoming the Monster
Rags to riches.
A protagonist is in some way misfortune, usually financially. Throughout the story, he/she acquires things such as power, wealth or a love interest.
The protagonist sets out to acquire an object or get to a location, facing many obstacles and temptations along the way.
Voyage and Return
The protagonist goes to a strange land and, after overcoming the threats it poses to him or her, returns with experience.
A humorous character faces conflict that becomes more and more confusing, but is at last made plain in a single clarifying event.
The protagonist is a hero who makes a mistake that brings about his/her downfall, evoking sympathy.
An important event forces the main character to change his/her ways, often making him/her a better person.
Although some plot types lend themselves more to some genres than others, genre is a different dimension to plot, and some plots may span across several genres.
Some examples:
Crime stories usually involve a flawed detective who has to defeat a monster (criminal). Often, the detective will fail to stop the criminal before another crime is committed (tragedy) before growing as a person (rebirth) and sometimes overcoming a personal barrier.
Ripe for misunderstandings, many romance stories are also comedies. A popular trope is for a character to believe that his/her love interest is out of their league and we watch the character move from rags (single and lonely) to dating their most desired mate (riches). Alternatively, we see a character who's genuinely flawed (often a commitment phobic) changed into a better person by love.
Fantasy is a great genre for exploring quests, such as finding a magical item or rescuing a Princess. A voyage allows for rich world building.

What is a Story Ideas?
When it comes to stories, a great idea is key to creating a captivating, successful story. Everyone knows the old saying, “A story without a beginning is just a muddle”. A story idea is essentially the seed of a story that has yet to grow, but is full of potential. It could be a phrase, a concept or even a scene that sparks inspiration and helps to develop the story.
An idea can be anything and it’s important to take inspiration from your everyday life, the world around you and your own imagination. A great story idea will have an initial premise or beginning, some kind of conflict and a resolution, as well as some other elements such as characters, settings and plot points. Starting off with a strong and original idea is essential for creating a gripping story.
When creating your story idea, you should take time to come up with a concept that is novel and striking, as well as aligning with your desired genre and target audience. This will help to set your story apart from the rest. Another factor that should be taken into consideration when crafting a story idea is the emotional impact it will have. Including elements such as suspense, intrigue and surprise in your idea will help to engage the reader and keep your story interesting.
Overall, great story ideas come in many forms and can be found in the most unexpected places. Take inspiration from everywhere around you to create a truly unique and captivating concept. This is the key to a successful and enjoyable story.
Advantages of Using AI Story Ideas Generator
The use of Artificial Intelligence in the creative process has become increasingly popular in recent years. One of the most useful AI tools is a story idea generator. A story idea generator can take complex topics and create user-friendly and exciting stories, making it easier for those who might not have enough experience with the creative process to craft their own great stories.
Story idea generators come with several advantages that make them incredibly useful for novice and experienced storytellers alike. They are designed to produce ideas quickly, meaning that you don’t need to spend hours trying to come up with something only to be left feeling frustrated and uninspired. The technology is also equipped with powerful algorithms that can generate well-structured plots, which makes it easier to identify opportunities for deeper character development and more advanced storylines.
Additionally, while traditional brainstorming methods may involve a lot of trial and error, story idea generators have been programmed to identify trends within existing genres and create stories that fit within a certain genre’s parameters. This eliminates the need for extensive research into existing storylines or even world-building, allowing authors to craft a unique story in shorter periods of time.
Beyond this, AI story ideas generators are also reliable research tools that are ideal for users looking to gain insight into a particular topic or genre. By feeding data related to the desired subject into the software, users can quickly generate multiple “story snippets” which will provide an overview of their chosen theme without needing hours of extra research or endless brainstorming sessions. Here are some of the advantages of using AI story ideas generator.
1. Generate Unique Story Titles
One of the most challenging aspects of writing a story is coming up with a title that captures the essence of the plot. A catchy and memorable title can attract readers' attention and make your story stand out from the crowd. An AI story ideas generator can help you create unique and captivating titles that are relevant to your story's genre and theme. You only need to input a few keywords related to your story, and the AI algorithm will generate several title ideas for you to choose from.
2. Create Diverse Settings
The setting is a crucial element in any story because it provides the backdrop against which your characters and conflicts play out. With an AI story ideas generator, you can create diverse and imaginative settings that are tailored to your story's genre and theme. Whether you're writing a science fiction, fantasy, or romance story, an AI story ideas generator can help you visualize settings that will transport your readers into your story world.
3. Develop Compelling Protagonists and Antagonists
Characters are the heart of any story. Without well-developed and relatable characters, even the most interesting plots can fall flat. An AI story ideas generator can help you create multi-dimensional and compelling protagonists and antagonists that drive your story forward. By inputting specific traits and personality characteristics, such as strengths, weaknesses, motivations, and flaws, the AI algorithm can generate diverse and interesting characters that capture readers' attention.
4. Produce Intriguing Conflicts
Conflict drives the plot and keeps readers engaged. Without tension and conflict, a story can become dull and uninteresting. An AI story ideas generator can help you create intriguing conflicts that are unique to your story's genre and theme. By inputting specific story prompts and scenarios, the AI algorithm can generate a range of conflicts that will keep your readers guessing until the end.
5. Generate Synopsis
Once the elements of the story are chosen and collected, the next step is to combine them into a coherent plot in the form of synopsis. This can take a considerable amount of time as it involves summarizing the entire story into a few sentences. AI story ideas generator can be a great tool to get the story ideas organized to create a synopsis that reflects the essence of the plot, and is how the final result can be crafted with an engaging beginning, gripping middle, and satisfying conclusion.
Toolsaday is an incredibly powerful AI-based tool that can help you create marketing content of the highest quality and utmost appeal, allowing you to maximize your success in the competitive world of digital marketing.
