Fall Writing Prompts for November 2023 Free Instant Download PDF

Click on this link for your free instant download of writing prompts

Trees provide endless opportunities for drawing and writing. With leaves falling and branches beginning to bare, our imaginations take us to thoughts of harvest and large gatherings with the foods autumn provides. Time to get out winter clothing if you live in a four-season area. Time to dust off the recipe books for the upcoming holiday meals and desserts. Each prompt has a text prompt page, and also a picture-only prompt page. We always include a coloring page for children who may be in attendance. 

November is full of gray - skies, branches, old withering leaves, and gardens prepared for next year.

Leaves underfoot? Who can resist "crunching" them! Leaf piles are irresistible to children, and sometimes adults. Walks are enjoyable when there are things to discover like colorful leaves, acorns, pine needles, and pinecones. It is probably going to be a mast year for acorns. I heard a discussion on NPR about the high numbers of acorns this fall. 

Baking in the fall is fun with new apples, pumpkins, and other things that may be available. Can you imagine the aroma? Such fun to eat, as well. 

Light snows that do not stay on the ground are lovely as it probably isn't too cold as yet. Can you catch a snowflake on your tongue?

Big family gatherings may be enjoyable, or not, depending on what a family is going through at this time. It will be my first Thanksgiving meal for a LO in memory care, and I am not really happy about the situation but hopefully, it won't be too sad. 

 As usual, there is a coloring page for the children included in the PDF.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Super Hero and Heroine Writing Prompts Free Instant PDF Download

Superheroes and heroines abound in television shows, movies, stories, and comics. Such fun it is for writers to think of a character with special powers to solve story problems. Every story has a problem the characters want to solve, and who better than a super person to swoop in and make everything right again? 

Get your free instant Super Characters PDF download by clicking this link

Even superheroes have problems of their own. Mostly, they are able to solve them when we are watching a film or reading a book. What could this hero be thinking? Either use the text prompt provided or think of your own story idea. 

This character is from a Pixabay.com download. At least, I don't think he is in any stories I know about. What might his special powers be? This could be a serious or comical answer. 

This character looks rather sinister, and again I am unaware that this is anything but an image from Pixabay. Did you realize some of the images I selected this month were AI generated? Yes, they were. And Pixabay has more AI generated clip art. If your students or group has access to computers, they could search for their own characters to write about. 

Yes, this one is also AI generated art, but we know what this character does. So this might be easier for some writers to use for a writing warm-up. 

Now the issue of twin heroines who have different special powers! What are their talents? How do they help others?

And of course, the coloring page for any one who would rather color. It could be used as a wordless prompt, also. 

Thank you for reading,

Pen and Ink October Drawing and Writing Prompts Freebie

Pen and Ink October Drawing and Writing Prompts Freebie

Both Inktober and NaNoWriMo partly inspired this month's drawing and writing prompts. Inktober Classic is all around the Internet currently, a daily motivational drawing prompt word for artists and illustrators. Another Inktober 52 option is to draw once a week for a year. In November, of course, it will be NaNoWriMo for writers which encourages the writing of a full book in one month. This month's writing prompt freebie is a set of 31 words gathered when watching Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus 2 Halloween movies. All the words could have non-holiday themes such as ravishing, infer, candle, and glorious. However, secondary students and those who enjoy films might be motivated to write thinking of the movie plot and characters, and take off from there. Plus writing groups could have fun with these words for quick writes, flash fiction, poetry, or even jokes. 

We all need the motivation to improve our craft. This is just another motivational tool. The free instant download is at the link, below. 

Pen and Ink October Drawing and Writing Prompts Freebie

Each page has a single word to inspire both writing and drawing. Finding single words is a challenge. So, listening to Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus 2, I wrote down some of the interesting words. The words would not have to be related to a Halloween theme. I thought some people would find the words fun to work with. 

Also, there is one blank page. It could be printed 31 times, stapled, and used as a journal for any set of 31 words for a month of drawing and writing. 

Always, a coloring page is included for children who may be present at writing group and need something to occupy their time. 

You might also like a free Hocus Pocus 2-word find and crossword puzzle on The Wise Owl Factory website. 

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy the printable PDF. 

Remember, we have monthly writing prompts. Here is a list of previous posts.

Lighthouses Through Life Writing Prompts Free PDF

Lighthouses Through Life Writing Prompts Free PDF

The writing prompt posts on the 15th of each month are for writing groups, quick writes, flash fiction, and class for teachers. 

People need "lighthouses" through life in areas such as friendships, mentors, teachers, relatives, and helpers. Let your light shine! Help someone! 

Crystal of Castle View Academy in Northern Ireland was a lighthouse to me when she began painting lighthouses, so I could get ideas for this month's prompts. 

“Don’t forget that maybe you are the lighthouse in someone’s storm.” – Unknown

Perhaps an physical lighthouse has helped a ship or boat you were traveling on at some point. Did you know a "daymark" refers to the colors of the lighthouse to help mariners tell the difference between them during daylight? Did you ever wonder why they were different colors or had stripes? I did but I thought people had different ideas at different times in history. This is the link is to the free instant PDF  download for this month's prompts. 

Have you seen "Up" the movie? One quote from it is

"Adventure is out there."

— Up (Movie)

Simple yet profound. I never thought about hot air balloons finding lighthouses. What else might rely on lighthouses? 

Lighthouses themselves take quite a battering during storms, but stand strong. Sometimes a friend who helps us might be experiencing some sort of storm, yet they are able to carry on and help another. Did that ever happen to you?

Did you ever think about how the inside stairway in a lighthouse has the same shape as a nautilus shell? I'm sure you have heard the phrase that progress is not always in a straight line or orderly fashion.  Is climbing a stairway like this something that makes you think? If you didn't know what was at the top, what would you think might be there?  

What desolate places lighthouses might be, such as this one on top of lots of rocks. Just think of working in such a location, back in the day when a lightkeeper had to keep the fire burning. Now people don't have to live in lighthouses, but can rent, perhaps. 

There are six text prompts, and eight picture prompts. As always, there is a coloring page for any children who might attend writing group with a parent, for whatever reason. 

Good luck with your writing! These prompts may be used for quick writes, beginning, ending, or actual full writing pieces depending on where the winds may blow.

Happy day, 

Carolyn Wilhelm

Bridges Writing Prompts for Writing Groups and Teachers

Bridges Writing Prompts for Writing Groups and Teachers

Just when I think I am out of writing prompt ideas, my friend Crystal shares another one of her paintings. This one is of the rope bridge in Northern Ireland. She is a plein air painter. Her beautiful homeschooling blog is Castle View Academy, which is very close to the Game of Throne locations. We saw several when we visited her and went on a local tour. The day we were there (thankfully for me) it was too windy to cross the bridge. It was also raining but that did not stop the busloads of people dressed as Game of Throne characters who were touring the area. 

Anyway, terms such as crossed that bridge, we'll burn that bridge when we get to it, there are people on both sides of the bridge, or bridge the gap are metaphors. The idea of a people bridge is a metaphor. 

Metaphor is often regarded just as a device for embellishing discourse, but its significance is much greater than this. The use of metaphor implies a way of thinking and a way of seeing that pervade how we understand our world generally.

I hope some writing groups or teachers might find the bridge free prompt PDF instant download helpful for quick writes, group exit writing pieces, or individual writing practice. Just as an artist begins to paint an image, writers have to start somewhere, as well. Photos, art, and images help provide inspiration.

The first photo is of a rope bridge. Cross the rope bridge they said, it will be fun they said is the text prompt. Of course, one page has the image only for those who like to think up their own ideas from pictures. 

Next is an image of a long bridge, both with and without a text prompt. Long bridges might bring some thoughts to mind. I didn't include the quote but it might be an idea. For some reason, I also though of (but left off) the rainbow bridge. Brainstorming bridge ideas will be easy for a group prior to writing. 

"A bridge is like a relationship. You work hard and for a long time to make it strong and then you can expect nothing to change." 

Sometimes people are happy to burn a bridge. Maybe a bad job, bad relationship, or experience would be good to leave behind. This image has a text prompt, and also a page with the image only. 

This looks like a bridge to nowhere. What might that be about? 

There are more pages with and without text prompts, and a coloring page for the littles who might be tagging along to writing group. 

Good luck with your writing! These prompts may be used for quick writes, beginning, ending, or actual full writing pieces depending on where the winds may blow.

Happy day, 

Carolyn Wilhelm

Writing Prompts Freebie for the 15th: Historical Fiction

Writing Prompts Freebie for the 15th: Historical Fiction

This month's freebie for the fifteenth are some historical fiction writing prompts. The first six pages have a written prompt. The second set of six pages are the same picture prompts without any written suggestions. 

To download the prompts, click on the next link:

Historical Fiction Writing Prompts Freebie for the 15th PDF

Writing prompts begin with an image to allow freedom of thought and creative juices to flow. Some writing groups have a timer, everyone uses one prompt, and then share what they wrote. Some groups begin with a prompt "to get the cobwebs out" and some end with a short writing time. Some people might write a flash fiction piece. Some writers will find a use for a current piece they are working on, so they may go home and insert it in a file. Some people may sit and pout or leave if it isn't a good day for a quick write! 

The link will allow you to have a copy of the document for your own use. You will also be able to edit the given word prompts for your own purposes. The images are all from Pixabay.com which offers images free for commercial use. The old correspondence may encourage a few writers. 

This rural farm building might inspire a few writers. There are four other pictures in the PDF. 

Thanks for reading! Carolyn Wilhelm
