Today's theme: Sparking a Story Idea

Prompt #1: 5 minutes, ends at :12
Make a list of places and things that make you feel excited, inspired, or curious. Try to write at least 20!

Prompt #2: 10 minutes, ends at :32
Choose a few of your favorite things from the list you just created (or that someone else shared in the chat!) and experiment with how you might be able to connect them, using phrases like "I wonder..." and "What if..." and “It would be really interesting if…”

Prompt #3: 12 minutes, ends at :59
Using one of your ideas or questions from the previous prompt, write a scene about how that “what if?” scenario might play out. You can use dialogue, setting description, action, new characters—whatever feels most interesting to you!
