“My head feels like I fell down 30 flights of stairs. Where am I? I look around trying to gather my bearings. But so far nothing looks familiar. I ease myself off the floor and cautiously walk to the door. Something about this door seems ominous. Like it’s supposed to remain shut. But with nowhere else to go I reach for the handle, slowly twisting it open. I gasp as I see… “ [your turn!]

Gas prices had gone up — quite a lot. But that didn’t stop [Your Killer] from filling up their tank with Premium Fuel. Today was a good day. One that merited a bit of frivolity, or so [Your Killer] thought. But as they went inside to pay with cash at the counter, they recognized someone they hadn’t seen in a long time. It was… [your turn!]

These prompts will give you ideas and inspiration for your existing stories! Maybe, for instance, one of our romance prompts becomes a subplot in your fantasy novel... or a mystery prompt gives you an idea to enhance your literary fiction.
They also are a great way to start your day & kickstart your imagination before you get into the bigger projects you're working on.
I would love to do this full-time. But we don't want to work with advertisers. That's why we're charging $5 per month. But you can try it free for 7 days by clicking the button above!
Absolutely! That's an important part of The Prompt experience. You'll get access to our exclusive Facebook Group where you can share your responses to our prompts and get feedback/encouragement on the stories you're telling!
Our daily prompts come in all shapes and sizes -- romance, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, and everything else.
You might be drawn to a specific genre of writing, but the point of all of these different genres is to help you practice different styles of writing (a critical skill for all writers to learn).
Even horror authors should know how to add romantic elements to their stories!
In addition to helping you build a daily writing habit, The Prompt will also help you tell a cohesive story and maybe even publish your first book!
Every week has a theme. This means that every week, you'll be brainstorming and creating cohesive narratives. Maybe you'll stick with a story that really resonates with you. Then you can use future prompts as inspiration for the story you're working on!
