15 Creative Story Prompts

Do you ever feel like getting creative and writing a story but you have no idea what to write about? Well, lucky you, below are 15 of my favorite creative prompts that you can use for anything from fun to homework. Just let your imagination flow!

1. The first scene starts with a note found on a hotel notepad.

2. "Did you just drug my shake...?!"

3. "Legend says that, due to old natural magic — if you plant a tree over the grave of a dead person, the tree will retain the consciousness of the deceased."

4. You realize you are just a rat in a lab being fed a vision of what you perceive to be common day reality.

5. You are experiencing flashbacks of your life as you lay there dying. The next thing you know, you are born again as a different human, a different mother's child. As you grow older, you realize you are more mature than all of the other kids, you know more; only then you realize you have lived a previous life, and you remember every second of it.

6. If imaginary friends were real.

7. "I first met the grim reaper when it came for my twin brother."

8. Write a story from the perspective of a mosquito.

9. If only they knew I was the one whispering in their ear. I was the one sending them signs by pushing the cup off the edge of the table, slamming the door, sleeping under their bed at night. If only they would believe enough in me, enough so I could finally appear and they could finally see me. That way, I could warn them of what was really coming for them. Warn them before it is too late, for all, it is too late for me.

10. Write a story from the point of view from an object in the room.

11. Dear you, the body you are wearing used to be mine, i'm writing this letter to you because it's necessary for your survival. The rest,well ... that is a little more complicated.

12. If being deaf and speaking sign language was the norm, and being able to hear, speaking with your vocal chords was something that happened because you were in an accident or you were simply born with it.

13. They finally found the end to the universe, and what they found, none could compare.

14. Take the fourth line from one of your favorite songs and use that as your prompt.

15. Describe what the world would look like to someone who has never seen it before.

I hope you find some of my prompts influential. If you write a story, I will be thrilled to read it!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
