A Collection of Inspiration Videos

So, here are some inspiration videos to help you get through NaNoWriMo or #30Day50k or any other dry or somewhat dry writing spell. Banish the creative drought for good with some prompts!

For every kind of inspirational drought, a prompt can get you going again. Sometimes, it can be a real throwaway story which you never look at again. And at other times, you can get a shot of inspiration for an entire series.

The idea behind these prompts (and the other videos) is to give a wide variety. Or you can opt for one or even all of them, and in any order which works for you.

Now, there are very few limits here – although limitations can sometimes spur creativity as well. The idea, rather, is to offer up a veritable smorgasbord of prompt words or phrases or opening lines.

However, if none of these writing prompts work for you, then do not fret! Instead, please feel free to hit the Contact page and tell me what works best for you. I am more than happy to consider your request and record a new video.

Because what works for you might prove to be incredibly inspirational for me, too!

Jump to any section

So, in order to make it easier to find everything, you can click any of these and just jump straight to any section. Pretty cool, huh? And do tell me if any of them are not working, please.

Because every now and then, things just decide to … break.

I hate when that happens. Don’t you?

Inspiration Videos About Starting Lines

Since sometimes all you really need is a first line to get you going, I put together a few. Therefore, here are some offbeat starting line prompts.

Tastes

Yet what are some taste prompts? I added these because sometimes it’s an overlooked sense when writing. So let’s explore taste and flavor.

Weather

So, everybody complains about the weather. But what are you going to write about it? Oh, and try not to start a piece with the weather. Unless it’s important. Then, you can and should go ahead, of course!

By the way, why is it important to not write too much about the weather, or start a piece with the weather report?

Because it has been done to death. So, you’re not being original. Skip anything about variable cloudiness and the like. But do keep in mind that if your characters are expecting a typhoon, it’s probably going to be a good, dramatic plot point unto itself.

Types of people

So do different character types really make a difference? They sure do! Therefore, let’s explore some different kinds of characters here.

And please be sure to take a look at aging characters and inspiration.

And finally, here is a place for some additional prompts which do not seem to fit in anywhere else. So, say hello to the orphaned prompts.
