I love creative writing prompts! Even if I can never get around to using 'em. Anyway, here are a bunch I came up with. I don't know if they're any good or not, but go crazy! Feel free to use them and to modify them if need be. (E. g., if you want to change "They couldn't believe it was finally over" to "I can't believe it's finally over!" or "It's been like that all night!" to "It had been like that all night," etc., however suits your fancy, go right ahead.) All I'd like is for you to link to your item here (in a comment) if you use any, and to include a link back to this item on your deviation, same as you would with a stock photo. Share the love.

My apologies if any of these sound repetitive, I came up with them over an extended period of time and some overlap is to be expected.

Hope somebody enjoys. If they do maybe someday I could come up with some more. :shrug: :wave:

For more prompts, please see these and these!
