Writing prompts are designed to kick-start your creativity. A writing prompt is simply a topic around which you start jotting down ideas. The prompt could be a single word, a short phrase, a complete paragraph or even a picture, with the idea being to give you something to focus upon as you write. You may stick very closely to the original prompt or you may wander off. Read the prompt and see where it takes you.
A snow storm in July, dense fog in January, a tornado in Michigan.
How would an unexpected change in the weather affect your character?
Devise a scene in which the weather has a dramatic effect on your character and determine which way these changes take your plot in a new direction.
