Get a Writing Prompt

For a decade, Fifteen Minutes of Fiction had a weekly writing prompt. Some of these are specific to certain times of year, or specific holidays. They are presented here in no particular order; click the "Get Another" link to see another randomly selected prompt.

Famous First Line

George Orwell's classic novel 1984 begins with the following sentence: "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."

Write a story or poem that starts out with that sentence, but take it in your own direction from there.
