If you are a newbie and always wanted to write but don’t know where to start, how to start, then you’ve come to the right place.

There are many other ways you can start on your writing journey but why not be a little creative while you’re at it. Isn’t writing supposed to be all about letting your imaginations running wild and free and while doing so, enjoy the ride. That’s the most important part.

Even writers when they feel like they’re stuck at some point, whatever ideas they’re scribbling down on paper they are not satisfied with and crossing it out, again and again.

What do you think they do to come out of that phase?

It doesn’t always end up taking a walk, sip a cup of tea and then, come back where they have left off and now, words just flow out of their fingers. No, sometimes we all need a little help and push.

And there comes the debut of the prompts which I’ve put together for you, precise and simple, which will let you write whatever comes to your mind:

a fresh start

It could be anything, after a breakup how you’re gathering your emotions and stepping into a new journey of finding yourself, or you’ve moved into a new city and what are the experiences you’re having there, tell us about your surroundings, the people, the seasons, anything you want to indulge your readers into.

small talk

Having a conversation with a stranger when you’re travelling in a bus or train. You could describe her/his appearance, behaviour and a glimpse into your conversations. Or, after a long time, when you met someone on the street who you have known from your hometown, describe how meeting him/her brought some good old memories.

timeless truths

Truth has no expiry dates. So what do you want to confess? Spill it out!

dying moon

Aren’t we all eager to write about the sun, moon and stars? So, ask yourself how does a dying moon make you feel? Isn’t it reminding us that we need to look past the self-doubts and insecurities before we accept our truest self?

digital love

Once upon a time, couples shared their feelings through letters but now, in this modern era, people can communicate in a snap of their fingers by merely typing whatever they want at that moment and click send. Nowadays, besides social media, there are many dating apps and sites where people try their luck in search of love.

in my pockets

what you’re carrying today in your pockets? Write about it. You don’t always have to think rationally, you can be creative by simply writing about flowers/glitters/smiles in your pockets.

summer blues

We all know how sometimes the cold, dreary days of the winter could turn down our moods but what about summer blues? Do you spend every day of your summer lying on a beach, sipping on some fresh minty mocktails, bathing in sunshine and sporting a smile? I guess not.

see you again

Aren’t we bad at goodbyes? But there is always a promise that lingers in between tears and goodbyes that we’ll see each other again. So, who do you wish to see again?

redecorating

You can be a little creative with this prompt by writing about redecorating your life. What are the little changes you have or want to incorporate into your day-to-day life and what differences it makes?

green dress

Who doesn’t love a nature poem? Look around you and take inspiration from your surroundings. You can write about how the autumn strips the green dress of nature, or how the spring swathes nature in the green dress, braiding flowers in her hair, blossoming with hope and glory.
