Writing Prompts: Short Prompts

For this week’s Writing Wednesday, I created short prompts of 10 words or less. This will help anyone who decides to take up the Saturday Summons challenge get right into the action, and it also leaves a lot of room for creativity for any writer who picks a prompt below.

In addition to my website, you can find all my daily writing prompts on Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook!

Writing Prompts:

  • Science Fiction: The asteroid harbored life but not the kind they expected.
  • General: He returned to his hometown, but nothing felt familiar
  • Thriller: “Don’t move! They’ll hear us.” “Too late.”
  • Mystery: “What do you mean the body is missing?”
  • Animal POV: Chasing the red dot felt like hunting the stars.
  • Romance: “I didn’t mean to fall for you, idiot.”
  • Fantasy: Magic shimmered in her hands, eager to be unleashed.

My favorite prompt of the week:

Happy writing!
