Creative Writing Prompts (.com) - it's a neat site. If you're short on inspiration, go here and just role your mouse over the numbers. Each number has a new and intriguing prompt - 346 in total. And you can order your very own journaling kit via the links to the left.
When you visit the site, don't be fooled by first impressions. I have to admit - after my first look at this website, I clicked away and left. It didn't look as measured and organized as I expected from a professional site. But then I ran across the site again on Alexa - turns out that creativewritingprompts.com receives the most traffic for the query "writing prompts" (35% of all the traffic for this query - more than the next three runners-up combined).
After this I took a second look (I actually read the prompts rather than judging the site on appearance alone). And I must say, the prompts are quirky and dark and a bit mischievous - they're kind of prompts you most need when writer's block has your face super-glued to a blank screen.
So if you're looking for a way out of writer's block - or if you just want to have a little fun - go ahead and take a look at Creative Writing Prompts. I'd recommend just rolling your mouse over a number at random, setting a timer for ten minutes, and then just writing your heart out to whichever gem you end up with.
