Writing prompts to tempt your muses

Welcome to the nineteenth list of weekly writing prompts in 2024!

This week is another round of photo prompts, with a twist: all these prompts are photos taken by yours truly, Dr. Casey Lawrence. I fancy myself a bit of an amateur photographer, as I’m sure most of us with a cell phone do; these are some of my favourites from my travels for you to use as writing inspiration this week! None of these photos were created or manipulated using AI.

Let me know in the comments: what’s your favourite photo?

As always, before we get started, here are a couple of quick reminders:

How This Works

1. Use these prompts to write poetry, fiction, an essay, creative non-fiction, or an article. They are totally open to interpretation! Include a link to the prompt at the bottom of your post.
2. If you use one of these prompts, you can submit the result here at PW, to any publication that accepts prompts from other publications, or self-publish. If you submit somewhere besides PW, make sure to include a link to the prompt and tag PW editors so that we do not miss reading your story!
