Writing prompts get the creative juices flowing! They can be silly or serious, either way, they make you think about writing something new to you. For a confident writer, prompts are a fun adventure. But for a reluctant writer, they take some stress away when it comes to thinking of a topic, letting the author relax and just write. This book gives the writer well-developed prompts, about a paragraph long. The topics vary a great deal, and they are really fun and funny. Here are some teasers: list of things that spark joy, what makes you frown, choose a dialog scrap/destination/detail, pretend you're a fortune teller, write a letter to a falling leaf, doodles that become something, list what you are good at, write things you can feel, choose a muse and loads more! I like the idea of having the student choose a prompt-response to develop, edit, revise and present as an actual essay. It shows the creativity process in a unique way! ~Sara
