• My darkest secret...real or imaginary.
• Think of your five greatest fears or aspirations/desires. Now chose one and turn it into a poem, a short story or just write a couple of paragraphs about it, if you are feeling in a confessional mood.
• Go out in your town on a Friday night. Describe the setting. Choose a character in the crowd and imagine what their life is like.
• Start up a story that the whole group can take turns adding to.
• Look out your window. Chose something to describe in an original way (ie avoiding cliche).
• Scan the paper. Chose a headline. Write a few paragrahs, imagining the character involved and how they would feel to be in that situation.
• Explore your senses...for an hour become completely aware of either: everything you touch, everything you see, everything you smell. Write a few hundred words about it.
• Write about some of the frustrations in your life that are stopping you from writing. How do these make you feel?
• With what characterfrom a movie, TV show, or archteypal image, such as a Tarot card do you most identify (or feel most inspired by) and why?
• Encounters with quirky people.
• Fired up about a social or political issue? Speak your mind in Rant.
• Feel free to suggest new topics.
