Writing Prompts for Writers Struggling with Writer's Block

Writing Prompt Ideas

If you're stuck on certain ideas or you don't yet understand elements of the story:

- Create a journal entry from the POV of your protagonist, detailing an average day in their life.

- Alternatively, create a journal entry from the POV of your antagonist, discussing their motivations and plans for the future.

- Set a timer for ten minutes, and in that time, write as much as you can about the protagonist, antagonist, setting, and or plot of your story.

- Craft a short dialogue scene where your characters interact. This can help you test out their differing voices and decide which suits each character best.

- Stuck on what kind of POV to use? Write a chapter or scene from a first person viewpoint, then rewrite it in third person. Which one are you more comfortable with and which suits the story you wish to tell?

- Take the time to prepare a description for each of your potential characters, including their physical looks and personality traits or quirks.
