Each month, publisher Shana Thornton give you a new free writing prompt here on our home page.
Writing Prompt Style for 2023
Throughout 2023, you'll receive a thematic writing prompt along with one to two vocabulary words to add an extra challenge to the theme and the writing prompt. You look up the definitions and try to add the monthly vocabulary word(s) to your writing. Good luck in creating good writing this year.
Nudge #175
SEPTEMBER: Theme--Another planet, real or imaginary
Learn about another planet. Make up one. Incorporate knowledge about another planet into your story by creating a character who is interested in Jupiter. Perhaps you create a star-gazing and planet viewing evening in your romcom story. Get creative and learn about the planets out there, other than Earth.
If you've never done it, experiment with science fiction and write a flash scene. Incorporate multi genres and really play around. Have some fun out there!
Vocabulary Words for added challenge:
1. fellowship
2. undauntedness
Since 2017, Shana's past writing prompts--over 100 of them--were located at The Nudge. Later in 2023, they are being released in a special edition ebook and paperback that will include additional bonus writing prompts.

You'll write with excitement, depth, and curiosity. In The Nudge Writing Prompts, Shana Thornton gives you the writing elbow--prompts for all types of writers, from fiction novelists to memoirists, poets, and those who want to journal for self-reflection. You'll discover writing prompts with questions for further character development, thematic prompts, vocabulary prompts, historically-based nudges, and self-reflection prompts for you as a writer. She provides examples and suggestions for reading literature with similar themes. You'll find tools for revision and editing and suggestions for getting the most out of your characters. Grab a blank notebook, a manuscript already in progress, or open a new note in your phone--you'll need plenty of blank space to fill with all the ideas this book will generate for your writing. The Nudge Writing Prompts work for the lone writer and in class settings, writing groups, and between pairs of friends.
