I have great plans to revise and expand this site with more creative writing ideas, making it more than just a creative writing prompts blog. However, since I strongly believe that doing writing exercises are the key to becoming a better writer I will still feature at least one such exercise a week. And today we have a picture writing prompt.

So take some time to study the image. Allow the picture to tell you a story, and once you feel that you have a firm grasp on at least the beginning of this story, start writing and do not stop until the first draft is on the page. Write for at least 30 minutes, if you can, and try to not let yourself be disturbed during this time. Then go back and revise what you have written until you are satisfied that your story, poem, or flash is exactly what you want it to be.

Here is another great picture writing prompt for you to hone your writing skills on, get inspired and above all, just write! As always, first look at the picture, then try to imagine the story behind it and then start writing. Try to write for at least 30 minutes, or longer, and start editing only once you have completed the first draft in its entirety.

Today it is once again time for one of my absolute favorite creative writing exercises, the picture writing prompts. I really think that these offer the most creative leeway, as far as writing prompts and exercises go, and therefore make for the best creative writing prompts. So you know how it goes: First look at the picture, try to see a story behind it and then, once you have it, start writing. Write for at least 30 minutes, and then set what you have written aside for a few days, before returning to it and editing it.

Well, I hope you have all had an enjoyable Christmas celebration and that you have gotten all the presents that you wished for, but it is time to do some more creative writing practice. Today we have picture writing prompts, one of my absolute favourite kinds of writing prompts. The goal here is that ou use the image posted below and allow it to inspire you to write a short story, poem or whatever. Pictures have a great way of allowing us to tap into that place where stories come from and thus help us in writing more and better. Ready to get started?

The picture writing prompt:

The instructions:

As usual, first look at the image and allow it to tell you it’s story. Where was it taken, why was it taken, who took it, who was looking at this landscape and what were they thinking? Once you feel that you have the answers to at least some of these questions start writing your story or poem and write for thirty minutes and more in one sitting. Try to have a complete first draft by the end of this exercise.

It’s the middle of the working week and to cheer you up, I have a nice picture writing prompt for you today. The idea with these type of creative writing exercises is that I show you a picture and you need to then imagine the story that the picture could have been taken out of. Simple stuff, and oh so rewarding.

The picture writing prompt:

The instructions:

Look at the above image and try to lose yourself in it, try to imagine that you or one of your characters in the setting depicted in the picture. Then try to imagine the story that holds it all. Once you have the story in mind, start writing and write for at least thirty minutes. At the end of this writing session you should have a rough draft of a story or poem to work on and perfect later.

Stay creative!

Time to finish off the week of diligently getting into the habit of writing at least every other day and to do this I have a nice picture writing prompts for you today. The idea here is that you let the picture below inspire you to write a story or poem. The image acts as a sort of gateway between you and your subconscious where all those stories you are trying to tell reside. And coaxing them out in this way, and by doing all the rest of the creative writing prompts offered on this site, really works!

The picture writing prompt:

The instructions:

As you are most likely used to by now, this type of writing exercise begins with looking at the above image until a story arising from it starts to form in your mind. Once that happens, start writing and write for at least 30 minutes. You should come away from this exercise with a complete first draft, something that you can work on later and expand.

Stay creative!

Once again it is time to try to be inspired to be inspired by a single image, time for letting a picture tell us a story. The idea with this type of creative writing exercise is that you are shown a picture and you must look at that picture long enough for it to inspire you to write a story that the image is trying to communicate to you. If you are more of a visual writer, in the sense that you see the scenes that you write in your mind, then picture writing prompts are probably the perfect exercise for you. They give you a starting point, the first image and thereby open the door to the entire story.

The picture writing prompt:

The instructions:

As per usual, immerse yourself in the image and try to image, guess, see, hear, etc. the story behind it, or rather beyond the borders of the picture. Once this happens, and it sure will, start writing and do not stop until you have the entire first draft finished. It does not need to be perfect, that’s what editing is for. In any case try to write for at least 30 minutes and once you are done, let the story or poem that you have written rest for a few days before returning to fix it up.
