Writing Prompts

Do you know of any good writing prompts?

I have a horrible case of writers block, and I really need help. Do you know of any good writing prompts/story starters? I really want something I could write about for a really long time, something that will make a really long story. Any prompts you have would be helpful! Thanks!


Begin a brand new character, but before you think about the person, think about their pet. It can be any pet - a unicorn, a dragon, a mouse, a hedgehog, a horse, a fish - ANYTHING. Give the pet a name, a gender, an age, and a personality. Then give that pet to a character.

Write for 10 minutes about the pet and the character interacting. Is the pet someone for the character to talk to, even though it doesn't talk back? Is the pet your character's only friend? Is the pet just there for your character to abuse?

That was one of my favorite prompts I've done before :)
