Welcome to Week Thirty-Nine of our 2024 Writing Prompt Journey!

I can’t wait to see your responses to this week’s three new fiction prompts! Check out the extra writing challenge this week as well, and see if it helps inspire your imagination in interesting new directions…

Writing Challenge:

Write a scene where your character makes a decision with life-altering consequences, but don’t reveal what the decision is until the very end.

The simple rules for this Journey:

1. Pick a prompt (or two or three!) every week or as often as you have time, and get writing.

2. Post on your own page or in any publication (including this one!), and share a link in your post back to the original Prompt post.

3. Share a link to your post in the comments of the weekly Prompt post (or tag me in your post so I can find your work and share it with others on the Journey).

4. Finally, tag your post with “Writing Prompt Journey” and “Fiction”.

Start your story with: “I never believed in alternate realities, until I fell into one.”

Remember to check out the Non-Fiction and Poetry Prompts for Week Thirty-Nine, which will also be going up very shortly. You can also go back to see the previous weeks’ prompts here.

And please don’t forget to post links to your prompted fiction in the comments, and link back to this post in your writing so more people can join the journey. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

If you’re enjoying my prompts, and want to help keep me caffeinated and energized… please feel free to buy me a coffee. Your support is so very much appreciated!
