Writing Prompts
Do any of you know any good writing prompt sites? I’m having fun with my new blog that I’m putting my writing on. I’m using writing prompts to work from. So far I’m using Weekend Wordsmith, Simply Snickers, 100 Words, and 1000 Word Meme. I like all of them, but would love to find some more.
Have you tried writing a poem or story from a writing prompt? It’s pretty cool. The prompts are either one or two words, a sentence or quote, or a picture. That’s all you get. You write whatever you want off of it. Some of the sites have guidelines, such as the 100 words site. You have to use exactly 100 words, no more, no less. It could be challenging. The 1000 word meme doesn’t have a limit. Its name is off of a picture being worth a thousand words.
If you haven’t tried writing from prompts you should have a go at it. It’s fun. If any of you use the one’s I’ve mentioned please let me know. I try to go back and read all the entries each week. If you’d like to see some of my writing you can find the blog in my links. It’s called Angel Sharum’s Story Board.
If you know of any good writing prompt sites please leave me a comment!
I think there is one on the Shadow Poetry website at http://www.shadowpoetry.com
They have something like magnetic poetry and add a line etc… anyway check them out - it’s a great site for everything and anything poetry.

We have weekly contests over at my Pix-N-Pens blog. Not sure if that’s what you’re looking for, but I’d love to have you stop by and participate. www.pixnpens.com
