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.Summer of Current Events
Open your favorite newspaper or news site and pick an article from the front page. Now pick one of the following:1. Write an opinion piece related to the news item.
2. Write a funny poem about the item.
3. Try to write about the event from the perspective of someone involved.
4. Rewrite the news item to have a very different ending.
Each week during the summer months we will have the same writing prompt, so we encourage you to try a different option each week! [Note: because the writing prompt will be the same each week, we won't be sending out Writing Prompt emails during the summer months!]
