Prompts
Prompts are great
story starters. In addition, creative writing prompts are a great
free writing exercise. Below is one for every day of the week.
Monday
Daily Writing Prompt
Let's use The Carpenter's song lyrics "Rainy day and Monday's
always get me down" as inspiration for a prompt. Tell a story
about an out of luck salesman who is tired of canvassing homes on
horrible weather and then hearing "no" from potential
customers.
On a rainy Monday
in July, he decides to do something different. He decides not to
ring customer's door bells or knock on their door. Instead, he
made up a jingle about the product he was peddling and began to sing
it whenever he stood on a customer's porch.
Write a story about
the customer's reactions.
