Creative writing prompts can be anything from asking yourself to create a narrative from the point of view of your favorite animal or using a random word generator to come up with a story.

The Benefits Of Getting Creative With Your Writing

Aside from the aforementioned benefit of getting out of your comfort zone, creative writing prompts can also help you develop your skills. By writing in a new style and genre you will be exposed to different techniques and vocabulary that make your work stand out.

October Creative Writing Prompts For Adults

1. The Sound of Silent Screams Write a story around the loudest sound you’ve heard. What is it? Who or what is making the noise? What do you think about it? How do you react to the sound? What if you’re the only person who could hear it?

2. It’s All Up to You Write a story where you’re confronted with a challenge and it’s your decision whether to solve it or not. Things may go poorly if you fail to act, but what if that’s because of your decisions? Do you still feel responsible then? Do you feel good about yourself for doing nothing or bad for not trying at all?

3. A Lonely Journey Write about walking outside on a dark night, and what happened during that walk. Were there any unexpected encounters along the way? Did something happen that made the experience difficult — or pleasant? Did you have some sort of epiphany during your walk?

4. Upsetting the Balance Give us a glimpse into the life of someone who has found themselves living alone, isolated from their friends or family members for some reason. Why are they separated from their loved ones? How do they feel about being on their own? What happens when they decide to rejoin their family and friends?
