Good morning. Welcome to this feature (inspired by Story A Day May) where I post a prompt, and accompanying (though not necessarily connected) picture*, so actually two prompts.
*Today’s picture shows an illustration of a dentist’s room. There is a male patient in the chair, leaning back, with a male dentist (both have dark hair) about to work on the patient’s mouth. The background and floor are bright blue.
Unless there’s a name, only the first word will be capitalised so you can use it anyway you like: as a title, idea or the exact phrase used within your piece.
Being the author of (to-date) five Writer’s Block Workbooks and Ideas Diaries, I know how even a single word can help as inspiration to write something new whether it’s a short story, poem, piece of non-fiction, a script or even a novel! It could be a distraction if you’re writing something you’re struggling with or would just like to do something different.
Today’s prompt is…
Ensure few/no paragraphs in your piece start with a character’s name… The… or He/She (for variety)
Do leave a comment below if you write something inspired by today’s prompt. NB. If you post your writing it’s deemed as published so may not be accepted elsewhere.
If you’d like to suggest a prompt for me to post (ideally at least two in case one’s too similar to one already posted or something someone else has already suggested), please complete the form on the A Prompt A Day page. I will include your website link if you have one, posting them once a fortnight.
If you’re an author, editor, illustrator, agent, publisher (anything in the publishing industry) and would like to take part in a spotlight, see Saturday Spotlights or email me for details.
