Story Starters and Writing Prompts
I need to start on a project that involves writing a story based on a story starter, much like my series during the A to Z Challenge. I’ve googled and looked at books, but I find that the best story starters come from people, because nothing beats real life.
So would you be kind enough to donate me a phrase/ sentence to start off my story? If the project works out, I’ll credit you with the inspiration, and send you the good fairies.
This is an awesome idea, I may to borrow it for my own projects ^^
As for starters…

Try this one on for size:
The dog cocked its head, as though to ask, ‘Well, what’re you gonna do now?’
Thanks! This could go any number of ways!
This is a good idea! I need often need a prompt to get me going…umm…There are days when life seems like it’ll never be the same again. Howzzat?
The only thing that frightened her more than dying was not dying.

Okay, so it’s a snippet of my real life.

She longed to know from whom her cheekbones and belligerent curls arose, since she looked nothing like her parents.
Thanks for dropping by, Sherry, and the story starter.
Love to! How shall I deliver the image? I’m away from home, could you still use it tomorrow!
I can use it anytime in the next month, Rick. 🙂 Send it when you can.
It was a strange cat, one I hadn’t seen around the neighborhood before.
Thanks, Wodke. I’m getting spoilt for choice now, but I think I might just do a series out of these. All I need now are some image prompts, and I’ll be ready to go!
One day while I was walking through the woods I saw a house… (Broadus, turned 13 today, on Halloween))
Elephants do walk on their toes. (Robin, age 17)
That afternoon when mom came home from the races she parked the car in the garage, walked out in the back yard, and called me. (Naomi, mi esposa, mi mujer)
A butterfly turned into a school bus. (Ada, age 4)
What was I going to do about his bird? (Rick, age 317 )
Rick, they’re all lovely! Welcome back :). From you, may I ask for an art-prompt, like the way you used to give me, years ago?
“In the end, she decided he wasn’t worth losing her car over.”
See if that causes any ideas to spawn. 😉 Good luck on your project!
Thank you so much, John, and welcome to my blog 🙂
Alex, is that you or your Ninja clone :)? Kidding! Am in awe of your ability to stay awake and comment away!
