5-Minute Daily Writing Prompts: 501 Prompts to Unleash Creativity and Spark Inspiration

I purch this book along for creative writing for dummies and I have used it to do writing exercises. Good price, easy to understand.

Works well in my LA class.

I purchased this for my 6th grade students, and I love the content! There are some for point of view, memories, dialogue , and more different challenges that I can hone in on. I would highly recommend for anyone, and I did change a couple prompts to fit the interests of the students.

This has been a joy to work with on a daily basis, although some prompts have not been applicable for my situation. Overall, I recommend this little gem for anyone who wants daily writing prompts. I find it difficult to stay within the r minute window, but that's ok; in fact, it is mostly exhilarating.

I want to write, but sometimes struggle to find a subject. I look for something interesting and fun, where my experience inspires me. Here are 501 opportunities. I scanned a few pages and found three or four prompts on every page that I wanted to write. I tried a few first sentences. I'm into the story. I think I might just open to a page and pick a prompt. A morning exercise to get my juices flowing. I picked prompt 10 -setting. I live in San Francisco and love to climb the Filbert steps from the east. It's many flights. I count the steps and see the people coming down, the plantings on each side of the steps and the homes set back. I look for the famous parrots. I wonder where they are, why they come. I can see a story in lots of directions. Prompt 412 -point of view. I remember a going away party given for me. I was pretty sure some of the people there would have preferred to have a party after I was gone. I tried to figure out which people that might be. This book presents a rich offering of doorways into writing. Once inside any of the doors I think I just need to look around and write what I see. What comes to mind. The place, the people, the activity. Five minutes is just the beginning. When I wish for inspiration this is a place I can come to get pen to paper - or fingers to keyboard. The red book is on my desk. When I feel the need, I will pick it up and flip a few pages. When my lips spread I know its time to start (in my case) pressing keys.

Good addition to my library. It helped with writer's block.

As a teen writer who has had quite some experience with writer’s block and trying to use writing prompts that are along the lines of “Tell me about a special day.”, “What’s your favorite food?”, or “Write about a famous or fiction character you look up to.”, this book flew way beyond my expectations and launched my writing self into a space I never knew existed. Starting from the very first writing prompt to the very last, each one is unique in its own way. Not only did this book inspire me to finally put that pen to paper, but it also pushed me to walk through scenarios I would have never imagined before. I have been using these prompts for the past weeks, and I am surprised at the amount of thought and creativity that has been put into these prompts. Rather than being limiting, when I think about these prompts, I feel super excited to sit down and write! And then, when I feel like I have almost nothing more to write about, the “Continue the Story” additions push me to keep my creative juices flowing. Thank you so much for this treasure!!

Came in really well condition

Once a week or so I pop this open and write a few paragraphs following these prompts... so many great ideas
