One small writing tip that helped me: Before I start a story, I always ask, "What problem will my characters have to solve?" It keeps the story moving. What question do you ask yourself before you write?

This is a pick-and-choose prompt. Nothing here is mandatory; the goal is to get you writing, not to “do it right.” If ignoring part of the prompt helps you start, ignore it without guilt. Write a message that was never sent. It could be: - a letter - a text - a voicemail - a note left in a book - runes carved in stone ages ago - or something adjacent that feels right to you The recipient can be named, or left implied. The reason it was never sent can be shown, hinted at, or not addressed at all. If structure helps you, here are optional tools you can use at your discretion: - Write one page max or minimum (or wordcount, lines, etc) - Set a timer (minimum or maximum, your call) - Try removing dialogue tags (no "he said", etc.) - Stop mid-sentence when you’re done If you want an extra angle to play with: - Let the most important thing be the thing not said - Or write it as if it almost gets sent… but doesn’t - Show the message from the perspective of someone who wasn't meant to read it Post your work in Daily Write with Weekly Prompt 3 in the title so I can find it. As always, unpolished is not just okay, it’s preferred.

Choose up to three perspectives (by which I mean people, not POV) you don't ordinarily write from (ie a baby or a very old person, someone super confident or insecure, or something more specific like a profession - the important bit is that they see the world differently than you do). Now write about a routine, mundane task from their perspective - going to work, cooking dinner, waiting in line. Then - only at the end - tell us what type of person (or people, if you did multiple) you chose. This could also be a different emotion or even genre - ie the same scene shown in a happy/angry/horror/action/romantic light. Optional constraints, if structure helps you or you want additional challenge: - Set a timer for minimum or maximum time - Set a page or wordcount target (again, minimum or maximum depending on what you wanna practice) - Write in an unfamiliar POV (i.e. 2nd person if you wanna get wacky) Post your work in Daily Write with Weekly Prompt 2 in the post title so I can find them! Unpolished is alright, preferred even.

What’s your biggest struggle with daily writing right now? A) Finding time B) Staying consistent C) Overthinking every line D) Starting but not finishing E) All of the above 😅 Pick one and share what’s behind it 👇

Constraint: Write for exactly 5 minutes. Don’t edit. Stop mid-sentence if you have to. Prompt: Someone opens a door they were not supposed to open. On the other side is something completely ordinary, and that’s what scares them. Post your work in Daily Write with Weekly Prompt 1 in the post title so I can find them! Unpolished is alright, preferred even. ——— This is the first in a series of regular prompts I’m gonna start having up in the group every Wednesday. It’ll be pinned for the week.
