The Writing Prompts App, developed for the iPhone and iPad, provides more than 600 writing prompts from multiple sources to assist writers who need ideas, including:
- Current events
- Scene elements
- Words
- Sketches
- Colors
- Genres
- Writing types
Shaking the device or swiping across the screen changes prompts. Users can add prompts as favorites and revisit them at any time. Additional prompt packs can be purchased from within the app.
For many writers, the simple act of starting a story, chapter, or article is the hardest. For some, it's enough to put them off writing completely. This app is designed to cure writer's block by providing a constant stream of prompts to assist in the creative process.
Writing Prompts is developed by Writing.com, an online community for writers and authors that provides writing tools, forums, contests, and marketing advice for new and established writers and authors.
