This week’s prompts focus on everyday moments, turning points, and the small decisions that ripple outward.
Monday’s Prompt: The Grocery List
Your character finds an old grocery list tucked inside a coat pocket—written in someone else’s handwriting.
The items spark a memory, a regret, or maybe a phone call they’ve been avoiding.
Tuesday’s Prompt: The Missed Appointment
Your character forgets an appointment they’ve had on the calendar for weeks.
When they finally remember, it’s too late—and they realize it might’ve been more important than they thought.
Wednesday’s Prompt: After the Apology
An apology finally comes from someone your character never thought would offer one.
Now that it’s here, they’re not sure what to do with it—or if they even believe it.
Thursday’s Prompt: The Shoes by the Door
Your character keeps seeing the same pair of shoes by someone else’s front door every time they walk past.
One day, the shoes are gone.
What happened?
Friday’s Prompt: The Call That Wasn’t Meant for Them
A voicemail is left on your character’s phone by mistake.
The message wasn’t meant for them, but it hits close to home—and leads to an unexpected decision.
Saturday’s Prompt: The Garden Plot
Your character signs up for a community garden plot on a whim.
The person gardening next to them turns out to be someone they didn’t expect—and they both have something to work out.
Sunday’s Prompt: The Sunday Drive
Your character goes on a quiet drive to clear their head.
Along the way, they pass places that remind them of who they used to be—and suddenly they’re not sure where they’re headed anymore.
