Creative Writing Prompts

to get you writing

I used to include a writing prompt in every post, inspired by the essay’s subject, but in May 2024, I stopped. Now they’re back!

I’ve compiled all of the old prompts here, each linked to the post that inspired it. I’ll add to this document each month—one on-topic prompt per essay I send out.

If enough people express interest, I’d like to hold complimentary Zoom sessions, so you can read from the work that the prompts generate and get my feedback on the spot. Let me know if that appeals!

The prompts are a perk for paid subscribers to Dispatches From The Road. If you would like to access them, I’d be thrilled if you’d upgrade your subscription.
