Join us Sunday 16, July for a Special Prompt Chat at 7PM ET http://writerschatroom.sallyfranklinchristie.com/wp/chatroom

All writers have that moment when they crave inspiration. They may be experiencing writer’s block and have no idea what to do. Or perhaps they are having trouble coming up with ideas and need something to turn to. Maybe they just wish to challenge themselves. Well, there is a solution to help writers with these troubles, and they are called writing prompts.

Your patience is rewarded. Here is the dreaded assignment.

Choose one of the following prompts. (Feel free to substitute a proper name for a pronoun.) Then write no more than 150 words, making the prompt your first sentence. Save your work and bring it to our writers chat on Sunday, July 16, when you will have the opportunity to share it with the group.

First-Sentence Prompts:

1. As he took in the view from the 20th floor, the lights went out all over the city.

2. He was older than she’d thought he would be.

3. He’d never seen so many homeless people in one place.

4. The footprints in the snow suddenly ended.

5. He should have never been there in the first place.

You are welcome to participate or simply lurk if you don't have a chance to try out any of CB's prompts.

Don’t be shy about sharing our website with your friends on social media.  We treat our visitors kindly. In other words, we don’t bite, but we dangle participles.
