Isabel Allende’s Writing Process – In Her Own Words
Are you struggling to write? Do you have writer’s block? Perhaps you’re stuck in the middle of your book? One of the best ways to power through these problems is by developing a daily writing routine.
If you write every day, you create a writing habit. Professional writers have to write even when they don’t feel like it, and if you take the time to establish a habit, you will find it easier to write on demand.
One of the easiest ways to do this is by setting a time every day (preferably, but not necessarily, the same time) to write using a writing prompt. You can use our monthly prompts or subscribe to our daily writing prompts to help you do this.
If you want to know how to make the best use your prompts, we suggest you read: All About Writing Prompts & Writing Practice
A prompt can be anything: a word, a song title, a name, a myth, a photograph, or a quotation.
We hope our 31 writing prompts for August 2020 inspire you to start a writing routine.
