WRITING PROMPTS
Weekly Prompts Feb. 12–18, 2022
Your weekly dose of writing prompts
Hello again, my lovelies!!! We are officially about halfway through the month of February already. Doesn’t seem possible.
I have to apologize to all of you as I didn’t get a chance to stop by everyone’s posts this past week. Y’all are doing such an awesome job, I just kind of got lost in the dust. That’s a good thing. Every week, I’m amazed at just how much talent we have on this site.
Another reason is that I’ve been doing quite a bit of writing of my own. I write as a character on a couple of different role-play sites, as well as trying to maintain a few of my own personal blogs outside of Medium. I’m also working on a new project. Not writing prompts, but something for those who enjoy historical fantasy fiction.
I promise I’ll try to do better about getting your pieces read this next week. I won’t make any promises, but I’ll try. I want you all to know just how much I appreciate all your hard work. You guys always make me smile.
So here we go, kids. Let’s see where this week’s prompts will take us. Over the hill or over the moon? I can’t wait to get there.

And there you have it, my lovelies. I hope you all find something to get those creative juices flowing. As I said, I’ll try to do a better job of getting all your pieces read this week. But please forgive me if I don’t get to all of them. You’ve inspired me so much that I’ve got to do some writing of my own.
If you do write something from one of these prompts, please be sure to tag me (@sapheyerblu) so I can find you. If you publish something from these prompts outside of PW, please make sure to tag both myself and Ravyne Hawke, as well as leave a link to this post. We’d very much appreciate it.
If you’re looking for some further inspiration, check out Ravyne’s Monthly Theme and her latest writing challenge. Also, watch for Marcus aka Gregory Maidman’s Sunday Spiritual Prompt. And remember, you can go back to past posts and write from any of the prompts.
So get those thinking caps on and have some fun. Thank you all for your stories, poetry, and essays. I get inspired watching you get inspired.
Happy Writing!!
