Prompt Inspiration Prompt Inspiration delivers daily, genre-specific writing prompts to inspire the essential habit of daily writing.

Prompt Inspiration delivers daily, genre-specific writing prompts via email and the internet. The single most important aspect of being a writer is writing. In our busy days and lives, with competing demands from work, family, community, reading and other entertainment options, and everything else, writing often – and understandably – is the easiest thing to put off until tomorrow. And then tomorr

ow becomes the day after tomorrow. The practice of writing every day is essential to create content as well as to improve as a writer. It’s also important as a psychological and emotional outlet – even if you’re writing for no one other than yourself, the simple act of writing each and every day is imperative. Prompt Inspiration is dedicated to helping you with that discipline. Every day, you’ll receive a writing prompt that will remind you of the importance of your devotion to daily practice at the same time it inspires you to make the time you need to write. As more writers use Prompt Inspiration, I plan to expand both the prompts as well as the services available on the site. I can do that only if Prompt Inspiration delights you enough that you keep coming back for more, and encourage your writing colleagues to do the same. So sign up, and let me know how I can make the site more useful, more relevant, and more productive for you.
