What to write about?

April 30, 2007

I was looking at some writing prompts today, trying to get inspired.

I saw a suggestion about creating one’s own list of writing prompts by randomly, swiftly naming 10 things one may write about one day (don’t hold your breath!).  Here’s mine:

Makeup application techniques, spa days, toddler behaviors, celebrity gossip, depression, publishing without publishing contacts, sustainable passion, neighbor block parties, get-rich inventions, and the role of hospice.

So that’s my random, top-of-the-head list.  What’s yours?

    Check out moontopples.blogspot.com, he has a writing contest there with the writing prompt “growth” which to me is a pretty good prompt.

    Actually, I can’t think of any other prompts right now. I mostly draw on ideas rather than single words when trying to think of stuff to write though you list some good ones there.
