Spring into Writing: 30 Prompts for a Creative April
Writing prompts for the Challenged
“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” — Louis L’Amour
Every month here at “the Challenged” publication, we post a list of writing prompts to inspire creativity in our writers. Feel free to use a prompt on any day, at any time, or whenever an idea sparks a story, article, or poem. There is no set schedule. Writers write, and that’s what we want you to do.
You can also submit writing response articles here from any writing prompt you have found across the Mediumverse. Doing that might even inspire our writers to answer other prompts.
If you are not yet a writer for “the Challenged”, read our submission guidelines and ask us to add you. We can’t wait to see what this month of prompts inspires.
