Prompts: A Simple Storytelling Exercise (that I'm giving away for free)
Visit my free storytelling exercise web page with this link: https://yuvizalkow.com/prompts
For some context, I need to explain two things. First of all, for my day job (as a technical writer), someone asked me to facilitate an icebreaker exercise for 80 people (both online and onsite). Separate from that, I volunteered to facilitate a creative writing workshop. For both of these exercises, I started gathering all my favorite writing prompts, especially the ones that could also be conversation starters. I decided to create a web page on my site that displayed random prompts to get people telling stories. The exercises worked well enough that I decided to leave this page up for anyone to use.
So the next time you're stuck with your writing, or just want a prompt, or you need an icebreaker idea, visit this page. It displays two random prompts, which you can refresh over and over again. Also, when you visit the page, I give a few specific examples on exactly how you can use these prompts (for writing or for an icebreaker). That’s all. It’s pretty simple and low-tech, but it might help one of y’all…
(And if you have some favorite prompt ideas that I can add, just let me know!)
