Writing Prompts Set One, Prompts One Through Three for Quick Writes

The picture prompts are on this page for quick write practice. Having to write quickly helps “clear the junk away” according to many writers so they may then move on to their important writing pieces. Here are some ideas. 
The same prompts are also on this PDF handout as an alternative for use with students, if wanted. Click on the next link to download your copy:

On a plane, someone famous sits next to you. Who is it and what do you discuss?
A story you wrote has become a play. Describe the opening scene.

A crystal ball is yours for an hour. It will reveal the answer to one question. What do you want it to tell you? 



Allow 15-20 minutes for writing, and a minute or two for editing. Then, if in a group, share the writing pieces for others to hear what you thought about the prompts. Move on to more serious work such as critiquing and editing after this warm-up activity. 

Thank you for reading, 
Carolyn Wilhelm, Wise Owl Factory
