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.Lament
Sometimes we can be so set on trying to be "positive" and happy, that we try to brush away negative feelings without acknowledging them.Today, write a lament for something or someone you have lost. Or for a change that's happened that has led to upheaval in your life. Or the loss or break-up of a relationship, or the movement from one place or season of life to another. Or for something that has happened to someone you love, or a difficult story you read in the news. Don't be afraid to express the sadness that you feel at the situation, or that you felt at the time if it was in the past.
