Weekly Prompts May 21–27, 2022

Your weekly dose of writing prompts

Hello, my writing warriors. I hope you’re all doing well. I can’t believe how quickly this past week has gone by. I almost forgot to put this week’s list together. So, as usual, I’m writing this at the last minute. I think sometimes I do better when I don’t have as much time to think about my prompts. Makes it more exciting for me as well.

This is the last full week of May. In just another week, we’ll be celebrating our 6th month of doing this. I’m shocked. It doesn’t seem like it’s been half a year that we’ve doing been the weekly prompts. You’ve all been doing such a wonderful job. Thank you for hanging out and playing along.

I’m not going to prolong this week’s list. I want you all to jump in and get inspired. I hope you all find something to get those creative juices flowing. I always get excited to see which directions you all end up going with these ideas. Makes me all warm and fuzzy.

So, without further ado, I give you this week’s writing prompts.
