Stuck on how to begin that epic story, or just want to practice writing something? This is the place for you.
Each Monday, I'll post a prompt--it could be a first line of a story, a what-if question, a quote, or anything in between. (but it will usually have something to do with Pokemon) What you do with that prompt is up to you--be creative and write as much or as little as you want within forum guidelines.
Of course, you are also welcome to submit prompt ideas--but I (or another Workshop mod) need to have them by Friday (so it can be posted the following Monday)
You do not have to write on that week's prompt if you don't want to--every prompt will be archived and can be used at anytime
I hope that this will provide new writers with inspiration and allow veterans a chance to sharpen their skills.
Happy writing!
