This year marks a momentus event for me - I wrote my first book! I hope it's the first of many...and it comes after years and years and years or writing just for the heck of it.

This was actually one of my first "real" blog posts. I've come back to it today to update it because I really think these 25 creative writing prompts sort of paved the way for this blog. This was the first post people actually read (yay!). If you want more, you can check out the writing prompts follow up post here.

Creative Writing Prompts

Some of them are silly, some of them are serious. But they're all better than just sitting around thinking about how you have nothing to write about. Right?!

And so, here are 25 writing prompts for your writing pleasure. Enjoy - and get writing!

1. What is your earliest memory?

2. If you had to eat the same meal over and over again for the rest of your life, what would it be, and why?

3. What is the oldest piece of clothing in your closet that you still wear?

12. Write a letter to your ten-years-older-than-you-currently-are self.
