Writing Prompts

Write a story about a chance meeting at an ocean.

"Here's to our children, may they have rich fucking parents."

- From Magic Mike

Can we write prompts that have already passed? I really want to improve my writing and this seems like a good idea! :)

@ Halloweenlover
Any prompts (the ones here or the Mibba Daily Writing Prompts) can be used whenever the mood strikes you!

@ battalions

Okay cool! That makes me happy! :D

@ i saw sparks
I think I'll use that on your one-shot, actually. I've been looking for something not cheesy and that sounds cool.

Write about a story where the house is haunted, but the occupants enjoy the activity.

i love this! thank you so much. ^_^ definitely going to steal some writing prompts (and add credit, of course) when i'm done with my first story! eeeeek

"I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.
Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye."
"Listen to Your Heart" by DHT

I'm going to be using this myself, but I wanted to see what others could do with it. This song is my favorite =) Let me know if you use it? ^.^

~~

"It's useless to call it a broken heart if there was nothing there to break."
~Try to make this the first line and work through the story from there. Trick? It can't be a breakup

~~

"What did you think would happen if you called me at 3 in the morning with something like this?! That I'd just go back to sleep?!"
~Last line in the story, if possible

~~

Your character has just bought a new house, but is constantly disturbed by a dog that appears and disappears at the oddest times. Despite calling animal control, no one else can seem to find any traces of the dog. Write a story based on the character's reactions.

~~

"I'm so sorry about the meatball incident!"
~Again, first line

~~

"You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore."
~ This is one of my favorite quotes of all time! Please let me know if you use it!

~~

"When your hourglass runs out of sand, you can't flip it over and start again--so live to be happy while you can." -Me
~I actually made this quote myself. I'd love to see if anyone could use it.

Good luck and best of writing! <3

"I still love you in my own fucked-up way."

"When life reaches out at a moment like this, it's a sin if you don't reach back."

"She looks sad. She looks angry. She looks different from everyone else I know—she cannot put on that happy face others wear when they know they are being watched. She doesn’t put on a face for me, which makes me trust her somehow."

- All from Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick

“I decided on you, don’t you get that? I decided on you. I don’t want to go fucking other people and then walk around feeling thrilled and then sad, or empty, or whatever. I like the smell of your hair, and I like the sound of your voice, and I fucking decided on you.” - Unknown

“She’s the kind of girl a guy meets when he’s too young, and he fucks up because there’s too much living to do. But later he realizes she’s perfect.” - Californication

Write how you think other people perceive you.

Write a story about a cursed town.

@ Queen of the Fey
I might use a few of those actually.

"Some days I make it through and then there's nights that never end."
- Either opening or ending line to a story.

"Here is a small fact: You are going to die."
- Opening line of a story. Bonus points if it's dialogue.

If you use either, please let me know

Write a story about an angel that falls in love with a demon.

I love this thread, too! It's my favorite...

arthur pendragon:

As my hands start to tremble, I can feel my bliss begin to crumble beneath my feet; nothing good ever stays.

I didn't see that last quote as I was writing but yeah. Toujours.

aubs:

• "All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was. - Toni Morrison

I did this the best I could, I didn't know how to quote the both of you because you were on two different pages but yeah.
Toujours.

This is from my creative writing class -

"Even the moon laughed at her horrible shame."

"Here is a small fact: You are going to die."

Done. You can find it here. It's part of a trilogy of one-shots but you don't need to have read the other two to get the story.
