Sometimes, all you need to give your writing a boost is an inspiring writing prompt. And when it comes to writing prompts, we've got you covered.

Writing Prompt: Monster

A Monstrous Writing Prompt

Today's writing prompt is just one word: monster.

Here are some questions to get you started:

  • What — or who — is the monster?
  • What does your protagonist know about the monster?
  • What does your protagonist not know about the monster?
  • What does the monster want?
  • What does your protagonist want?
  • What is the monster's greatest strength?
  • What is the monster's greatest weakness?
  • Is the monster the protagonist? or the antagonist?
  • How will you define “monster”?

A writing prompt on its own isn't very interesting. The exciting part is the story it inspires you to create. So, go write your monstrous story!
