Writing Prompts Freebie for the 15th: Fantasy Writing Prompts

Free instant download: Fantasy Writing Prompts


On the 15th of the month, you may expect a set of writing prompts for your group or classroom quick writes. This month, we have fantasy writing prompts. There are pages with a written prompt, and the same picture pages without a prompt so the member of the writing group or class may select his or her own prompt. Some people prefer open-ended prompts, and some prefer a starter idea.

Writing Prompts Freebie for the 15th: Fantasy Writing Prompts

Fantasy prompts may be a stretch for some people, and for some, maybe just the right thing. Everyone should try to stretch in writing exercises or even take a new viewpoint. Write from the point of view of someone who is not your usual character. 


Fantasy Writing Prompt Pages Included

Thank you for reading!

Canceled LA Area Writers’ Conference



IMPORTANT for anyone planning to attend GLAWS writers conference (see below): Tony N. Todaro has announced that the Conference that starts tomorrow has been postponed due to tragic circumstances. We are dealing with our issues this weekend and will work with the school next week for the date of our 22nd Conference. 

This is what you might expect when it is reinstated:
I will be giving a keynote Friday, Feb. 22, at Valley College, 2:30 pm. If you can't be there but know a writer who lives in the Los Angeles area, I hope you'll share with them. At the last presentation I did, one of my agent's 'babies' was near the restaurant where the Historical Novel group was meeting. She saw a mention on Facebook, came to introduce herself and stayed for the meeting! It was one of the joys of writing!  So, here my little pitch: 

I was once a precocious journalist who gave up too soon and for all the wrong reasons. I am excited to share my story and tons of tips for writers who suffer from Imposter Syndrome—psychology’s term for letting I’m-Not-Good-Enough and It’s-Too-Late thoughts to interfere with starting a project or launching a writing career. The subtitle could be “What I learned from Mom, Cancer, and Deepak Chopra.” 

You are invited to this writer's conference at Valley College in Los Angeles.  Planned by Tony N. Todaro of GLAWS’ (Greater Los Angeles Writers' Society), Genre-LA Creative Writing Conference starts Friday 2/22.  It is designed to  to assure writers that 2019 will count for something big. Tony offers segment  rates for those who can't be at the conference for the whole weekend and #greatHotelRates.  Come get your handout for 


Your Double-Duty Media Kit:

Your Go-To for Making Quick Work of Dull Jobs 
And Inspiring You to Greater Things

PS: Lots of panels after the keynote, a couple including publicist and editor Marlan Warren.
