Face it. There is a lot of pressure with NANO. We want to write the story all the way through to hit 50,000 words. We want to write that book that's been peculating in our brains. But what if....
The dreaded "What if..."
We have no story idea. Nothing is coming that could form into a plot. Our brains that usually has stories starting everywhere we go....goes silent.
Been there, multiple times. So where do you go when your writing brain wants to take a vaca?
1. Google. Of course you can find anything on Google. I've always thought Google and Amazon are taking over the world. If you need it, Google can tell you where to go. Just type in Writing Prompts.
2. Writers Digest. This is one of my favorite mags and they have a great article about prompts right here.
3. Another site is Awesome Writing Prompts on tumbler --> Here
4. My fav is the everything idea shop aka Pinterest! Just type in writing prompts and ka-powie! You got a whole page of them. Awesome!
5. Then there's the awesome advice from the Aimless Writer; 10 Prompt to Start Your Novel. :)
So if you're looking for something to do the best NANO ever... just pick one and start writing down some ideas to go with it.
15 days till NANOWRIMO. Tick Tock.
