How to Improve Your Writing With Prompts



  • What Prompts Are
Prompts are either pictures, sentences, videos or words used for the specific purpose to spark creative output.

  • How Prompts Improve Your Writing
It's the same old principle that practice makes perfect. Using prompts regularly gives you inspiration and challenges you to write on many different topics and in different ways, therefore widely expanding your skill-set over time.

  • How to Use Writing Prompts
Browse and choose a few that you like (fiction and non-fiction) , and a few that you know will really challenge you. Keeping a running list of prompts is a good idea in order to make writing a habit. Choose at least 2-3 per week and write upon what they give you.

Make sure you write at least 350 - 500 words each time. If you are planning to write a novel you should increase upon the word count expected, since a novel is much longer than short stories, articles or posts.
