WRITING & CREATIVITY PROMPTS

There's nothing like the thrill of being in the creative flow, but sometimes tapping into the muse is challenging. That's why we're sharing regular writing & creativity prompts to help you get the creative juices flowing.

Use these prompts to write a flash fiction piece, a short story, poem, or novel. Use them to create a video or podcast. Draw or paint a picture, weave it into a rug, make hand-puppets and act them out...how you use them is up to you! 

Today's Prompt:

Write a flash fiction story (100-999 words) or short story (1,000-15,000 words) based upon the last dream someone told you.
