5,000 WRITING PROMPTS: A Master List of Plot Ideas, Creative Exercises, and More

So excited that I purchased this book, 5000 Writing Prompts: A Master List of Plot Ideas, Creative Exercises, and More, I packed it in my luggage this past May 15 to May 20, 2023 on vacation to Amelia Island, Florida--staying at a condo unit at the Ocean Place #27; and little did I know that a literary thief gained access with his duplicated key to my room and swiped it! Forever and ever gone! Always! And now to compensate myself for this loss, I am reordering it and will pay particular care in keeping this valuable book within my care. Yes, this book is an excellent treasure trove of ideas! I don't care what writer's block you might possess, it will get your creative juices flowing and you will be amazed by the writings you create. So, go get it and keep it under "locks"--you don't want anyone to take off with i! Have fun!

I really liked this book because it gave me so many ideas. I wasn't able to use some of the poetry stuff but there were prompts from historical situations, relationship problems, reasons for arguments, ideas for titles, ideas for subject matter just very useful overall. There wasn't much I didn't like but again I couldn't use the poetry section but I didn't buy it for that. Very confidently written and has ideas for multiple genres I got some ideas for westerns, which I had never thought of tackling before. The prompts for fantasy and science fiction were very interesting and thought inspiring. I've seen other reviews here who said that this book focused on social media, and that's not correct. There is a section for young adult writing but that's only one section. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is starting out as a writer or looking for ideas for their current work in progress. Some of the prompts are one word prompts some of them are full paragraphs. There's a small section on using classic prompts from ancient Greek and Rome or Shakespearean ideas. I consider this book a valuable addition to my writer's library.

This book is ideal for those who need (or want) a little bit of inspiration for their next story or poem. I have made it through a few dozen prompts and look forward to writing more.

A must have for those writers out there.

I am finding this book to be a great asset with my interest of the skill in prompting. With such a large volume and variety of choices. It allows the creative juices to stream through various elements and insights. To write colorful ideas with the support of a brief narrative or question. For some writers, creators; a prompt can be a gentle nudge in a direction that can allow a writer of any degree. To take an imaginary journey with the provisions in a sentence, question or phrase. From a blank page to an adventurous short story, even poems. Coming from various scenerios, statement and images (pictures), visions as a practice element or the next best seller idea. The books breakdown sections, make it easy to navigate through and finding so many choices to embellish upon for writing projects or descriptors. I've used it in discussions, in session with other writers and various other forums to support my efforts in creative writing venues. As a writer I feel it is a must have on my bookshelf and in a personal library.

There are some times as a writer when the exact thing I need is to borrow someone else's brain for a second to see things from a new angle or add an outside take to a plot or a scene that I never would have come up with on my own. I often talk through my books with my writing group, but when they're not available, this book is the closest thing I can get to that experience. Bryn's brain, and as a consequence, this book, is packed full of story sparks and prompts to set your writer's mind off in new directions. There are prompts to help you begin a story. There are prompts by genre (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, mystery, romance, YA, historical fiction, general fiction) as well as prompts to spark ideas for characters, setting, and dialogue. As an author who often writes retellings, I particularly loved the section with plots from European fairytales and mythology, Shakespeare and classic cinema. The prompts based on the senses were another a favorite of mine. And lest you think this book is only for fiction writers, Bryn also includes a substantial section with prompts for poetry, blogging, and autobiographical stories. I'm so glad to have this resource on my Kindle and carry with me always.

I have yet to really go through the book. I was really looking forward to it. I am a little perturbed that the writing appears to have a line straight through the page as if a portion of the writing was erased. I will work with it as best I can. It seems to be the case throughout the book. So three stars is all I can give it at the moment. Maybe it was just a bad copy. Hopefully that is the case. I got this book along with another by the same author. The other book seems to be completely intact, thankfully. For the price of $14 or $15 though, the type could have been better.

There's so many different topics to write about and gives you a sentence to go on based on different genres and subjects.

The most awaited book on my list, this book is helping me a lot to clear my huddles which had stop me from writing. I love this book and anyone who wants to became a writer must have this master piece.

As described

Danke für diese sehr abwechslungsreiche und umfassende Prompt-Sammlung. Nicht jedes Thema ist etwas für mich, aber ohne zu übertreiben kann ich sagen, dass ich von den Inhalten den Rest meines Lebens werde zehren können.

Great sample size on jump starting on an idea or can inspire you on an entry point on your writing prompt. Sometimes seeing something written down, a writer can take in their ideas better or flesh out an even better prompt.

Well organized and filled with great ideas. An excellent resource. No regrets at all. Perfect for writers, songwriters and other story tellers. I have several of this author's similar resources. They are all worth having!
