Spring into Writing: Creative Prompts for Journaling, Poetry, and Prose

This little book of writing prompts, shaped with both poets and prose writers in mind, is meant to encourage you to think about spring from different perspectives. Your unique feelings, experiences, and ideas connected to springtime can translate into unique creative work, whether you’re writing for publication or for private reflection. Try the exercises as journal prompts for freewriting and self-expression, or use them as starting points for poems, short stories, essays, memoir, and more. This collection of thirteen exercises also includes links to a variety of work by other writers to give you even more ideas to write about; ideally, each of the exercises will be the starting point for multiple pieces of writing, depending on the question or angle you choose to pursue each time you sit down to write.
