Hello, everyone. The world must be ending… I’m getting back to prompts after about nine months. I only know because WordPress tells me so. But here I am again, and it feels great to be back. I guess that comes with not having a job right now, because, well, I lost it.

Anyway, back to what I was talking about. Prompts. I love doing these, so here is today’s prompt:

When did you discover when you wanted to be a writer? Were you met with positivity or negativity? When did you really start to get serious about it?

I’m going to have fun with this one… I hope you do, too!

Before we get started today, I just want to say that today marks two years that I’ve had this site! It’s crazy to think that it’s been that long. Thank you all so much for the continued support I get from you. 🙂

Today is Friday, so it’s time for another prompt. Two in a row? Dang, I’m getting good at this…

Anyway, today’s prompt is a fun one. And totally based off of my situation right now (not that I’m making it up as I type this. Okay, maybe…). Here is today’s prompt:

What do you write about when you don’t know what to write about? Do you make it up as you go along? Do you sit and think about it for a while? Do you just write about whatever comes to your head, even if it’s just, “I’ve got nothing? What do you do when you just can’t think of something to write about?

Actually, I think that turned out to be a dang good prompt. I know I’m going to have fun with this one. I hope you do, too!

Hey guys, the world must be ending!

Okay, now that I have your attention…

I’m actually getting back to prompts. I know it’s been a while since I’ve done these. I’m trying to get back to them. I know I’ve said that before, but…meh. Life happens. Deal with it.

Anyway, if you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know that I published my first book recently (and it’s called Days of the Kill, and it’s on Amazon. You should go buy it ;)). In honor of that, here is today’s prompt:

What is your proudest accomplishment as a writer? Is it publishing your first book? Is it reaching your first milestone? Is it just actually getting an idea? What is it that makes you so proud to be in this writing career?

I’m going to have fun with this one. I hope you will, too!

I almost talked myself out of doing this today… I’m so glad I didn’t.

Today’s prompt is a little more on the serious side. It’s something that I struggle with constantly, but I’m glad I’m able to manage anyway. Here is today’s prompt:

What do you do when you don’t feel like doing anything? Do you push through anyway? Do you give up and just not do anything? How do you make that decision?

Just by doing this prompt I have my answer… I’m too out of the habit to actually want to do it. I’ll get back to all the time eventually. I promise!

Feel free to send in your prompt responses to whatnottowriteandwritingtips@gmail.com. 🙂

Guys. The world must be ending. This is not a drill!

Okay, now that I’ve got your attention… Prompts are making a return! Yes, I do mean really. I finally figured out that, duh, I can do them just past midnight. It’s not like I have to get up incredibly early on a Friday. Why did I not think about this before?

Let’s just hope I can keep this up.

Today’s prompt is in honor of my nephew being two months old as of yesterday and my niece turning two years old in just eleven days. I can’t believe how fast time has gone by! Here is today’s prompt:

What was your favorite celebration growing up? Was it a birthday? Christmas? Some other holiday that you thought was amazing? What made that celebration so special?

I hope you all have fun with this prompt! I know I’m going to.

I’m just going to say, I will be so glad when I can get these prompts out almost every week instead of missing all the time. I think that’s going to be in a couple weeks. I hope, anyway.

Today’s prompt is so much fun! We’re snowed in here in Texas (the world is coming to an end, guys…), I had to miss work, so today’s prompt is in honor of that. Here is today’s prompt:

What do you like to do on snow days? Do you play in the snow? Do you shovel it? Do you stay in and drink hot chocolate? Do you use the snow day to get more work done? What do you do when the snow prevents you from going anywhere?

I’m going to have fun with this one. I hope you do, too!

Oh, hey. A prompt that I didn’t think I would have time for today. Looks like sick days are good for something. Which brings me to today’s prompt. I may have done this one before. I don’t know anymore.

Here is today’s prompt:

What do you do on a sick day? Do you read? Do you write? Do you sleep? What do you do when you can’t go into work?

Feel free to send in your prompt responses! I’m going to have fun with this one…

I hope everyone enjoys the prompts that I post each week. I love posting them and answering them in my prompt journal. Here is this week’s prompt:

What is your favorite genre? To write? To read? What draws you to that genre? What is the best thing you have ever read in that genre? Write about it.

I find this a fun prompt. I hope everyone else does, too!

I hope everyone enjoys the prompt that I post each week. I enjoy posting them for everyone to respond to. I just wish I got more responses than I do now! Here is today’s prompt:

We all have that one family member we can’t stand. It may be a sister, a brother, an aunt, uncle, or cousin. Who is the family member you don’t like? Why don’t you like them? What do they do that annoys you so much? Write about it.
