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!

Thank you for reading, Carolyn

Halloween Writing Prompts for Writing Groups and Classrooms October 15, 2023

Halloween Writing Prompts Free PDF Instant Download Here

This month's writing prompts are Halloween-based, as opposed to other October writing prompts on this blog. There are six writing prompts with text to help inspire writers, and eight picture-only writing prompt pages to print. There is one coloring page to be used as needed, for fast finishers or children "dragged along" to a writing group. The entire PDF is fifteen pages in length. Teachers or writing group leaders may select which pages they may want to use as fits their particular group's needs. 

The text prompts are as follows:

Mist wreathed the moon in an eerie shroud . . . 

The pumpkins gleamed with frost under the rising sun. 

As night fell, a barred owl began calling with its signature call, "Who cooks for you?"

Bats danced under the full moon. 

The neighbors began decorating for their annual haunted house.

The Halloween inflatables were so ridiculous it wasn't clear it they were funny or tacky. 

Of course, the coloring page included on every PDF. 

Thank you for reading, 

Carolyn Wilhelm

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, 

Carolyn Wilhelm

Emotional Wreck Writing Prompts Free PDF 

Everyone faces times when they feel like an emotional mess or wreck. Emotions help writers create interest in a text piece, emotions in the characters, emotions in the reader, and even emotions in the writer. Going through or remembering tough times can help writers create real feelings to help engage readers, and of course, we have all experienced some difficult situations. some of the prompts have text beginnings, and some are pictures only for the writer to take whatever direction he or she wants. 

We have probably all seen murder mysteries where a dead body is found in the woods by some innocent person. What if that happened to you? Has anything close to that ever happened to you? What would you think and do? 

If you have been in overwhelming situations, then you may realize how difficult it might be to know what to do. Thinking ahead might help you face such a difficult situation. But often life is messy, as the saying goes, and we really do not know what to do in every instance. We may be unprepared. What might be such a situation and what might you do to find help? 

Anxiety and stress may make us act differently from usual. Has that ever happened to you? We cannot always think clearly and logically. After anxiety  builds, what might happen? Write a paragraph about such a time you or someone you know faced. 

Oh, my. Some life events might make us think it is the end of the world (for us). What might such an event be? What could have happened to this person who is clearly in distress? 

Pills are often in the news. You maybe know someone who overdosed or intentionally took too many pills. What goes on in the life of such a person so they just want to give up? Do you know resources for people who are threatening suicide? How might you help direct a person to helplines or associations that could help?

This person is feeling unimportant. How might you cheer up such a person?

Crying can make us feel better. Weird, but true. If you can't cry, feelings are locked inside. What might this person be crying about? How might someone help her?

Fired? Being called to the principal's office? Waiting at the hospital for surgery to be over? Write your response to this image. 

And a coloring page for children dragged along to writing group!

Thank you for reading, Carolyn

Mystery Writing Prompts PDF Instant Download for Writing Groups and Teachers

Mystery Writing Prompts PDF Instant Download for Writing Groups and Teachers

The other night my daughter was shocked when the doorbell rang during a thunderstorm. She could see the outline of a person against the backdrop of lightning. It was the police! Thunder! Lightning! Police! More lightning! 

Although she was scared, she did answer the door. On a different evening, a friend was in a similar situation. Police were at her door, but she called 911 to verify it was the police. In some situations,  there may be a suspicious person in the neighborhood, or they are looking for information about a neighbor. The police do not explain outside the door. This could be a frightening experience. 

Mysteries often begin with murder(s), detectives, and police. I wonder how some of the little towns in the murder mysteries series settings have anyone left living. I wonder if the shows may have to end for lack of possible victims! Not really, but this is a popular genre on television and in books. Romance is number one, and mysteries are second in popularity. 

Here is the free instant download PDF 

You might also like a similar set of prompts available here.

One of the prompts is, "the floor creaked from footsteps one floor above." Of course, this storyline may be taken in a different direction. It is up to the writer. This PDF is my usual, with several pages of pictures with text prompts and the same pictures without text. Writers can choose whether to use a text prompt, create their own stories just using one of the pictures, or write something else independently.  

Detectives are usually included in mysteries as they are needed to follow clues and lead the reader to a possible conclusion. Red herring clues help with plot twists and surprises at the book's conclusion. Usually, one detective is in charge and disagrees with a younger one, and then the younger one proves he is right to the embarrassment of the one in charge, as in Endeavor by Masterpiece Theater. The younger detective is more handsome or beautiful, clever, smarter, and more insightful than the one who is about ready to retire. Ya know. So here is the dashing young man. Perhaps he is shown up by a female, like in Miss Scarlet and the Duke, also from Masterpiece Theater. 

Police might knock on the door at night. Usually, detectives and others work to gather clues, which necessitates visiting houses and places of employment. This page might be part of a mystery or another genre altogether. 

There are 16 pages of writing prompts and also one coloring page, as usual. Sometimes children are invited (perhaps being dragged along, kicking and screaming) to a writing class or group and need something to do. 

Thank you for reading. I hope you find these prompts helpful!

It's in the Cards Writing Prompt Free PDF Download

It's in the Cards Writing Prompt Free PDF Download

For February 15, 2023, we have writing prompts revolving around the theme of cards. Each of the six prompts has a text and also a picture-only writing page. A generic writing page is included for those with their own ideas. Of course, coloring pages are included in the case of younger visitors to the writing group or class. 

We have all heard of someone with something up a sleeve, so this prompt might be about an actual card or just an idea that someone springs on unsuspecting people. What do you think of when you see this picture? There are many ways to play tricks. This saying might mean to have secret plans or ideas. Some group members might select this page for their quick write, while others will look further. 

free instant download is at this link

The word card might have another meaning, such as a credit card. Money pockets went out long ago for most people, but someone might still wear such a thing. What could possibly go wrong? 

Few among us haven't heard the expression, "It's just a game." Some writers might be inspired by this saying to begin writing. 

There has even been a TV show entitled, "House of Cards." This image may help a few writers be inspired. 

There are more prompts, both with and without text, for writers and students to consider. 

Thank you for reading, Carolyn Wilhelm

Writing Prompts of the Month for Publishing Book Reviews

Writing Prompts of the Month for Publishing Book Reviews

Our sister site is The New Book Review, and did you know we welcome book reviews by our readers? We do, even for previously published reviews with permission, unless you wrote it yourself. So this month, we are inviting you to submit to our blog and see your book review online. 

The free PDF download would be useful for writing practice for groups or classes that may wish to see their work online. Of course, reviewers need to be over 13 years old in most cases. 

Instead of writing a book report, groups might work on writing reviews for publication on sites such as The New Book Book Review, Amazon, Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, Public Libraries, or other sites that accept book reviews.  The free instant download PDF is at this link.  For those who prefer editable forms to fill in and then email to The New Book Review, please use this editable submission form. 

The form for submitting to The New Book Review to be published on our site is two pages and is the same as what is asked on the site page explaining the process.  Page one asks for the book title, subtitle, author name, and so on. This is an image of the first page. 

 

The second page asks for more information so we can publish a full book review including information about the reviewer as well as the author, and where the book may be published. 

There is also a general review that may be used on other sites. Make several copies of the page if writers would like to use this one. Group leaders have the option of which pages to use and how many copies to make of the pages, of course. 

More information and also information about receiving free books is available on the site. 

And this is how the editable form looks. Type in the blue spaces and then save. Again, the information at this link explains the process. 

We hope to publish your reviews soon! 

Carolyn Wilhelm
