Plinky: Daily Writing Prompts
July 5th 2010 18:17
As far as I'm concerned, it's always a good idea to have a selection of writing prompts at your disposal. I've subscribed to quite a few RSS feeds of writing prompt sites which means I get several new prompts delivered to my RSS reader every day. I don't use all of them, sometimes I go for days and weeks without looking at them because I don't need prompts to keep me writing. Sometimes, however, I need a little nudge - a word, a phrase or a paragraph that isn't my own - to get the creative juices flowing. Then I browse my collection of writing prompts. So far, this has always saved me from staring at the blank screen.
My latest discovery is Plinky. Plinky posts a new question every day and people can answer it directly on the website. You need an account to post your answers (and you can add photos to your answer and share them on Twitter and Facebook if you want), but anyone can see the questions and read other people's answers. The daily prompts are meant for bloggers but that shouldn't deter fiction writers. So if you feel a bit uninspired, check out the question of the day or browse the prompts for a little nudge.
