Prompts to tempt your muses

Welcome to the 36th week of Weekly Prompts here at PW! I’m on the road again traveling with my family this week, and as such am feeling a bit nostalgic as the summer comes to a close. Soak up those last warm rays of sunshine — let’s get inspired with some nostalgic prompts this week!

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!
3. You don’t have to use PW’s prompts to submit work here. We are an open publication for established and new writers to submit their writing — usually based on writing prompts from here or elsewhere, but unprompted stories are also welcome!
