Writing Journal—Monday writing prompt

Your character wakes up in the middle of the night. As she resettles in bed to return to sleep, something moves in the shadows. Write the scene, focusing on showing those visceral sensations as fear slams into her. 

One Stop for Writers

  • Character
  • Setting
  • Plot
  • Conflict
  • Resolution

Never forget, writing is a process. The first draft is always a mess.

The first draft of anything is shit.
