“AI Made Me Do It” Writing Prompts Part 10
Staring at a blank page can be really intimidating for a writer! For today’s segment of the promptilicious series “AI Made Me Do It,” I’ve asked ChatGPT to generate the first line of ten stories for you to use as writing prompts. Having a first line written for you takes all the pressure off —just start writing where the prompt leaves off!
(The bonus prompts this week can be used for the first line of a poem.)
Check out Parts 1–9 of “AI Made Me Do It” for more inspiration:

How This Works
- Use the following prompts to write anything you’d like: a short story, flash fiction, poem, article, creative nonfiction, etc. Use the prompt in its entirety or change whatever you’d like; it’s up to you!
- Submit your response here at Promptly Written (please follow the submission guidelines) where it will be edited by yours truly, Casey Lawrence**, to other any publication, or self-publish it.
- If you publish your story somewhere on Medium other than PW, make sure to include a link to the prompt at the bottom of your story and tag me @clawrenc so that I don’t miss out!
- Have fun!
