It’s Sunday again and time for some new creative writing prompts for the week ahead.
Use one or more of these prompts each day this week to start a new short story, a poem, or even the beginning of a new novel.

2. Jason patted his wife’s hand. “We always think things like this only happen to other people. But this time, it’s happened to us.”

4. June was supposed to be a lovely month for weddings.
5. “Just this one thing,” said Michael. “Just do this one thing to make me happy.”

6. Peggy hated blind dates. But, she had to admit, this one was turning out rather well.
7. Everyone makes mistakes, and it usually isn’t the end of the world. But it will be the end of the world as I know it, if I mess this up, thought Maya.
8. Remote didn’t begin to describe the location Gerald had chosen for his and Sophia’s holiday.
“I don’t think I can stay here,” said Sophia. “I’m sorry, Gerald.”
9. It was Eden’s graduation party, so where was she?
10. Marvin’s mother handed him the check they had talked about – the check for $900,000.00.
