Prompts for Your Writing Adventures
By Chris Dunmire
Remember when your teacher would write a topic sentence on the blackboard and then make you expand on it in your notebook or journal? Well, that's the idea behind these prompts. I give you a topic or idea to write about, and you take it from there!
These prompts are especially useful for journaling or blogging, and can also be used as visual art prompts. Ready to get started?
