Writing Prompt Collection (v2)

Updated: Oct 8, 2023

In this collection of writing resources, explore a list of "first lines" which could open the next story. See which premises get the ideas flowing and ask yourself, "What comes next?"

  1. Death was not at all what I'd imagined.

  2. To my left, a demon ready to destroy it all. To my right, the angel ready to save the world. And there in the middle, was me, holding my turkey sandwich.

  3. My captor had terrible knot formation, but impeccable taste in rope.

  4. The stasis pods were holding nicely. A shame.

  5. "Stop offering me croissants. No amount of sugar is going to make me incite a rebellion against Turon."

  6. The dreams were the perfect training ground.

  7. After three apocalypses, two invasions, twenty guilds and half a dozen uprisings, Andy thought he'd seen it all. And, he'd seen it all with Reymi. But after being left behind in the monster bog, he'd seen something he could never come back from.

  8. "Exercise them."

  9. The blood was everywhere, but that wasn't what terrified her.

  10. My grandmother used to tell me stories of the cities in the forest.

This post is part of a short prompt series meant to help the up and coming writers with potential project ideas, or to help brainstorm more elements of their own existing stories.
