Create your Writer's Prompt Box

Design a store of inspiring story triggers: 12 key ways to create an ideas resource that will come to your rescue when you're wondering what to write.

IMPORTANT NOTE before we start: if you bought my mini-course/guide Create your Home Writing Retreat, you already own Create your Writer’s Prompt Box! It was my special bonus gift to you, so there's no need to buy it separately.


  • Are you feeling the itch to write – but your mind is blank?
  • When somebody asks you where you get your ideas from, do you wish you had an answer?
  • What if you could create a resource for yourself to help you stop fretting, start creating?

This guide will show you how to put together your personal writer’s prompt box: an ideas resource that will come to your rescue whenever you’re looking for inspiration.


 

Unlock the magic!

Hi, I’m Lorna Fergusson, founder of Fictionfire Literary Consultancy, writing coach and editor. During the Covid pandemic I've been helping writers find solace through their creativity, through my online writing retreats and my self-study mini-course Create your Home Writing Retreat. This guide was created as a special bonus for that course but now I have decided to offer it as a stand-alone resource too.

So here are three options for you:

  1. If you already own Create your Home Writing Retreat, log in to that course and head for the Bonuses section. Create your Writer’s Prompt Box is waiting for you there!
  2. Buy Create your Home Writing Retreat and enjoy this guide too as your special bonus - great value! Find out more and purchase here.
  3. Purchase Create your Writer’s Prompt Box alone – just click the button below!


 

Why do you need a prompt box?

We come across story ideas every day, but there are times when you’ve reserved some writing time for yourself and you simply don’t know what to write! A prompt box is a way of kick-starting your imagination. The techniques I’ve designed for you will trigger concepts and notions in joyous and unexpected ways. You’ll make connections between ideas, invent characters and their situations, think of places, plots and consequences. You may even unblock aspects of the novel you’re already writing!

Prompts are playful – but they can also access deep aspects of your creativity.


 

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

Jack London

Here’s what your mini-course contains:

  • An illustrated 31 page guide and workbook which introduces you to the whole concept of making a prompt box and how to set it up.
  • Detailed guidance on 12 key ways you can create your own story prompts, so you can experiment with different methods and find out which you prefer.
  • A specially designed Prompt Response Page which you can print out as often as you like and in which you can record your responses to the prompts you select from the box.


 

How will this help me?

Key benefits of choosing Create your Writer’s Prompt Box:

  • You can combine these story triggers in any ways you like and you can keep coming back to your prompt box in search of fresh inspiration – it will always be there for you!
  • You’ll have fun and experience a sense of liberation for your imagination.
  • The evolution of story is often a mystery to us. Your prompt box will tap into your creative potential in exciting ways.
  • You’ll come up with new, original stories and be surprised where they’ll lead you!

Take the pressure off yourself.

Play. Create. Write.

Enjoy!

"The prompts have worked really well for me. I have used them to develop ideas and scenes for my work in progress. ... I now know that I have lots of ideas in my notebook to help me to develop and expand on scenes and themes when I start the rewrite and edit. I also know I can go back to them at any time and choose a different prompt if I'm stuck for an idea. Thank you so much for putting this together. I have loved it."
