Ways Writers Use Prompts

Short story seeds
Some prompts grow into full stories, and a few have grown into novels.
Memoir memory triggers
Memoir prompts help you recall scenes and details you had forgotten.
In Depth
Getting the Most From a Prompt
Do not wait for the perfect prompt. Pick one that is interesting enough and set a timer for fifteen minutes. Write without stopping to edit. If it goes nowhere, that is fine. The goal is momentum, not a masterpiece.
If a prompt sparks something bigger, save it and come back the next day. That is how a lot of books begin.
