Take Another Route into a Story
Some ideas begin with an image. Others arrive through a sentence, a conversation, or an unexpected combination.
Prompt Me More includes:
- Original photo prompts
- First-person and third-person story starters
- Dialogue prompts
- Phrases to incorporate
- Branching paths and creative choices
- Fill-in-the-blank combinations with 49 possibilities
- Classic-story and traditional prompts
- American tanka poetry
- Journal pages
Write a scene, poem, short story, screenplay, or the beginning of a novel. Change the pronouns. Switch the point of view. Combine two prompts that were never meant to meet.
There’s no required order and no single correct response.

The reference section helps you create more believable characters and add sensory detail without leaving your project to search online.
You’ll find:
- Five senses and character-awareness tools
- Vocabulary gathered from celebrated authors
- Character archetypes and motivations
- Voice descriptors
- Positive and negative character traits
- Appearance charts
- Words for sounds
- Number symbolism

Use the resources with the workbook prompts or return to them while developing another story.
For Writers, Teachers, and Creative Thinkers
Prompt Me More is designed for teen and adult writers at every experience level. It also works well for teachers, homeschool families, writing groups, screenwriters, poets, and journalers.
Teachers and workshop leaders can use the prompts for bell activities, timed writing, sensory description, point-of-view practice, dialogue exercises, poetry, or longer projects.
Writing on your own? Open to any page, set a timer, and follow the idea. Skip what doesn’t interest you. Change what almost works.
Think of the workbook as an artist’s studio for words. Experiment, make a mess, and see what begins to take shape.
