Writing prompts does just what the name implies; they “prompt”
you to start writing.
No matter if you are a beginner or experienced writer, you
may find writing prompts or story starters very beneficial in creating
different story ideas.
Normally writing prompts or story starters are a line of
dialogue, a photo, short scenarios or phrases, titles, or even single words
that get your creative wheels turning.
You can find the prompts in any genre.
Examples:
Nancy couldn’t open up her eyes. They felt glued shut.
“Are you sure you don’t want to take me up on that offer?”
Even in paradise, the roses have thorns.
Taken By Storm
Simple Ironies
Okay you get the idea lol
So try them out if you want to practice writing or writing
something outside of your comfort zone or just for flash fiction for your blog!
You can Google online to find writing prompts or you can
grab the eBooks I have created!

I've just gotten to the place where I need to create new characters, first time in well over a year, and starters like this are very helpful. I also find "odd" news articles good prompts, because I know you know that strange people make the most interesting characters. Sometimes, like with the starters you've so kindly gathered here, all it takes is a word or sentence to start the whole creative process rolling.
