1,000 Creative Writing Prompts eBook

It’s this: they write regularly. They treat it like something that has to be done, and they get it done.

Does that sound too simplistic? You might be thinking, “Yeah, of course. That’s easy when you’re a natural born genius.”

Do you think Tolstoy relied on flashes of inspiration to write War and Peace? Nope. Great works of art like that are the result of a repeatable process.

That process is available to you too. Anyone can learn to consistently turn out writing on a daily basis. The hard part is getting started.

There’s another secret the most prolific writers know that others don’t: it’s that the best work is produced when you get into a “flow state.” Different people call it by different names, but everyone has experienced it at some point. It’s that magical feeling of being able to do a difficult task for a sustained period of time with effortless ease. Suddenly a task that used to seem impossible just flows.

It’s exactly this flow state that attracts us to the craft of writing – it’s what sends a shiver down our spine when we write. But what’s the major paradox of a flow state?

You can’t force your way into it, and the harder you try to fore it, the harder it becomes to access that state. That’s why staring at a blank page can often make your blockages even worse. In order to get into a writing flow state, you have to simply start writing while you’re NOT in a flow state. And that’s why you get “writer’s block.”

Many potential writers never get a grasp on this idea, and that’s why they fight a lifelong, uphill battle against “writer’s block.” I put “writer’s block” in quote marks, because once you understand how to get into a writing flow state you realize that writer’s block is NOT REAL.

It’s a hobgoblin of the mind. One you can easily beat with the right process, and the right resources.




Author Bryan Cohen has been writing on the subject of writer's block and personal development since 2007, though he's been a playwright, poet and fiction writer since 2001. Cohen has a degree in English from the University of North Carolina. He currently lives in Chicago, Illinois where he also acts and does improv comedy.




Here's What Other Writing Experts Are Saying About the E-Book...

One of the biggest factors that causes writer’s block is not knowing where to start. You sit down which your pen and paper, or at your computer, with your heart set on writing something. Your hands hover at the ready, waiting for inspiration to strike. It doesn’t happen. You put away your writing gear and go do something easy, instead.

Here’s a secret many productive writers know, which writers who battle “the block” don’t: inspiration comes from writing. It’s not just something that happens out of the blue – sure, sometimes it happens that way, but not consistently. In order to be inspired on a daily basis, you have to take the first step and start writing. Once you burst the dam, the inspiration will come flooding in.

Have you ever met writers who were hooked on the craft like it’s an obsession? They just can’t seem to get enough. Every aspiring writer has come across at least one of these people who can write like there’s no tomorrow. And chances are, even if you don’t like their writing, you’re jealous of the ease with which they sit down and knock out those words.

Well, that’s not a trait you’re born with – it can be learned and developed through the use of a very simple technique which I discuss in the ebook. This old self-development technique is the easy way to trick your brain into creating a positive new habit. It’s known and used by some of the most productive people on the planet.

Think about some of the greatest original ideas you’ve had in your life. What caused the spark for them? Alright, maybe you had a few in the shower. But if you search your memory, you’ll find that many of your best ideas actually came to your when you were reading or considering the thoughts of others.

By putting these prompts in your head and on your page, you give yourself more raw material from which to craft your own original writing.

Imagine having a thousand ideas ready to go, any time you want!

Talent may be something you’re born with, but creativity is something you can develop. It’s exactly like going to the gym. If you go to the gym and eat right, your muscles get stronger and you can lift more weight.

If you write every day and exercise your creativity, you become more creative. Your head starts spilling over with ideas. Sitting down to write your masterpiece goes from being an uphill struggle to an automatic process.

But, you have to start working that muscle somehow. You need the right resources. Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t become Mr Universe just by doing push ups, and he sure didn’t do it by sitting on his butt in front of the TV.

This e-book isn’t just for the next aspiring Stephen King. No matter what your genre or style of writing, these creative writing prompts can help get the ball rolling when you’re stuck. They’re effective for:

• Becoming a more consistent blogger
• Creating fiction on a more regular basis
• Breaking through blocks on a script or screenplay
• Getting started on virtually any writing project, creative or commercial

Blogging is a tough business to be in. You have to sit down, day after day, and pour your heart out to the world. If you’re building a readership, you have to accept that no one may be reading for a while. And if you already have a readership – well, they’re expecting you to keep delivering.

But sometimes you just feel like there’s nothing left to deliver. When that happens, choosing a random writing prompt out of this book can be all it takes to get the creative juices flowing.

Sometimes when you’re trying to hammer out a script, something just doesn’t feel right. The dialogue isn’t “working.” You feel like you’re going through the motions, but the script isn’t moving in the right direction.

A writing prompt can help deliver exactly the “kick” you need to get you moving in the right direction. Sometimes the reason you get stuck on the script is because you’re “too involved” with your “baby.” A prompt that forces you to write about something else first releases the mental blocks.

With prompts on topics such as “Shakespeare” and “The American Dream,” you’ll always have something to get you started on a controversial essay topic. There’s nothing worse than trying to scrape through on an essay that’s due for a class or contest – you know that if you leave it until just before the deadline, it won’t be your best work.

These creative writing prompts will make sure you get writing work done quickly and on time, so you know you’re putting your best work out there and reaping the rewards.

This e-book contains 1,000 creative writing prompts. Stop and think about that for a second. That means if you sit down and use one every day, working through the book from start to finish, you’ll have prompts to keep you going for almost three years.

What could you write in three years? A novel? A trilogy? A poetry anthology? The next Hollywood blockbuster script? A world-renowned blog?

Stop waiting to become the writer you want to me. With just a tiny investment today, you can set yourself on the path to unleashing the creative genius you know you have inside you. What have you got to lose?

The book even comes with several essays entitled How to Be a Writer, How to Write from Prompts and Writing Every Day to help you push past any of your motivational blocks.

The book is available at a low introductory price of just $25 $2.99. That is like paying a penny for every 3 prompts!
