Writing Prompts: Inspiration Everywhere!
“Inspiration is all around us. Don’t let the brain limit the mind .” ― Lisi Harrison Inspiration Everywhere! or Writing Prompts. Quarantine part II I find inspiration everywhere. Take my notebook with me whenever I leave the house. Never know when something’s gonna jump out at you; an idea for a short story, novella, novel, or even a scene in your current W.I.P.

Writing Prompts: Sci-Fi
Science Fiction Clichés A few times a month, I’ll explore some of my more ambitious story ideas with a short story. Genres I’ve never written before with plotlines and characters that are way out of my league. But this is why I write them, to develop my skill. Some of them are good, some okay, some trash. But I’m a writer, I am writing. What do professional athletes do when the season is over? Kick back, relax, vacation—yeah, maybe, a little, but they’re back to grinding, making themselves better, months before the new season even begins. Read more…
