Happy Wednesday! Halfway through the work week for a lot of us.
Bringing back a prompt today that we haven’t seen since January. Hopefully, you’ll find it inspiring.
Prompt Type: Character Development
Prompt: Think about your antagonist/villain and what motivates them. Boil it down to one vice or virtue–love, greed, envy, fear, hope, etc.–that drives what they do.
Now change it up. How would your villain be different if hope motivated them? Write a character sketch or scene detailing how hope motivates the actions of your antagonist/villain.

Like I do every year around this time of year, I’ve begun thinking about going back to school for an MFA or maybe my Ph.D. This feeling will likely fade and then resurface again in September.
Here’s an opening line prompt to start your week with.
Prompt Type: Opening line
Prompt: It was all so incredibly vast and unfamiliar–the crowds rushing around him, the buildings looming. It was as if the entire world was in a hurry, trying not to be late for fear that the very foundations of their existence would crumble and the city would topple if they ran just an instant behind.
