Daily writing prompts for the first week of February


Be inspired

the use of writing prompts as an aid to the creative writer is a great way to generate story ideas, over come writers block and help hone the craft of writing itself.  practising our craft by using writing exercises and prompts is a fantastic way to keep our creative muscles fit and ready to try anything, after all we are only limited by our imagination. 
The writing prompts below are Story starters for short story writers while the writing themes are open to both short story writers and poets, and as always my favorite form of writing prompt the picture prompt
