Making Yourself Write

When Nothing Is There

Sometimes it seems like the well is dry but your creativity is endless. You may just need to approach it from a different angle. Try using a writing prompt. They can both help clear your mind and keep you in your writing practice mode.

Pick a prompt from one of these locations and follow through like it is a task that needs to be checked off your list today. It does not have to be phenomenal writing, you just have to write something.

Give yourself a minimum word goal of at least 250 but if you feel like you have more in you do not stop until you need to.
