Fall Harvest Writing Prompts

 

By: Our Writing Garden Team
Welcome, fall!

This time of year, we turn toward quiet reflection, which often leads to wonderful writing sessions. The air is cold and crisp, frost glitters on the grass, and the leaves are falling from their branches. With so much natural inspiration around us, Our Writing Garden wanted to help your pens and typing fingers along this month with Fall Harvest Writing Prompts. Below, please find a list of prompts for your autumn writing sessions, and as always, feel free to share your work in the comments. 


  • Write a short story about getting lost in a corn maze.

  • Craft a story where the main character's Fall garden grows out of control.

  • Write from the perspective of an animal eager to gather as much of the Autumn harvest as possible before the season changes.

  • Write about a pumpkin-picking adventure that goes very wrong.

  • Create a short story where apples, squash, and pumpkins compete to be the best in their farm.

  • Tell a tale from the perspective of a scarecrow watching over the Fall harvest.

  • Write a poem from the viewpoint of the last pumpkin left in the pumpkin patch.

  • Write a short story about a tree that comes alive during apple picking.

  • Construct a work of flash fiction about a child who is frightened of sunflowers.

  • Write a poem about the scents of fall harvest. 

  • Write a short story about a unique way of cooking up apples from the orchard.
