    About this ebook

    Writing prompts are a great way to jumpstart your muse and get the creative juices flowing. Sometimes you want to write and don’t really know what to write about, and prompts can help guide you into a new story.

    This collection of 366 writing prompts can be used daily throughout the year (leap years, too!) as a starting point to get you writing ... andkeepyou writing. Each day of the year has its own, unique prompt. Set a timer for fifteen or twenty minutes, and write wherever the prompt takes you. Or, if you’re between stories and looking for something different to work on, flip to the prompt for today (or any random page) and start fresh.

    This book will kick-start your writing or take you in exciting new directions every day of the year!

      Write Every Day: A Year of Daily Writing Prompts

      By J.M. Snyder

      Introduction

      As a writer, I love prompts that jumpstart my muse and get the creative juices flowing. Sometimes I want to write and don't really know what I should write about, and prompts help guide me into a new story. I've written many stories that began as an interesting prompt in a writing class or author group, and then grew to take on a life of its own.

      But I'm frequently disappointed with books of writing prompts because while they're creative and inspiring, I find it very difficult to settle on any one prompt to work on at a time. I'll find something, think it sounds good, then flip the page and find another prompt that looks just as promising, then turn to another page...you get the drift. I'm easily distracted, and would rather read through the entire book of prompts rather than pick one out at random and write.

      When I began this book, I decided to eliminate that indecisiveness, in case other writers suffer from it as well. I thought if I wrote the book in a diary or planner format, with one prompt per day for an entire year, then it would be a no-brainer which prompt to use. Whatever day it happens to be, flip to that page, and viola! Instant inspiration.

      The idea, of course, is to write everyday. It's only by writing that one becomes a writer, and practice makes perfect. Even if you aren't working on a particular story, writing a brief scene or a short thousand-word story is a great way to stay in shape and hone your writing ability. It also gets you into a routine, and writing daily will sooner or later lead to a finished story or book.

      This collection of writing prompts can be used on a daily basis. Every day turn the page to the new prompt, set a timer for fifteen or twenty minutes, and write wherever the prompt takes you.
