I don’t know about you but adventure and travel are so intertwined in my mind that I have difficulty separating them.
So, I thought it would be fun to do a travel adventure writing prompt.
Real life, fiction, or whatever pops into your head. Are you ready?

Tonight we decided to try a restaurant we have never been to before. It serves authentic Thai food and was delicious.
For our appetizer and entrees, we had our tried and true favorites, but when it came to dessert we decided to be adventurous and try something new.
We ordered Mango Sticky Rice. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my hopes were not high. Oh boy was I surprised. It was AMAZING! The flavor was faintly sweet with a light coconut flavor from the coconut milk sauce. The fresh mango was the highlight and the sesame seeds balanced out the flavor combination and added interest to the mix.
The requirement of fresh mango means it is only available for a short time each year, especially here in the Pacific Northwest where we struggle to get good mangoes even in the best of times. So we were lucky to have the opportunity to try it and very glad we took that opportunity.
What about you? When was the last time you tried something new? A new food or flavor or something else entirely?

This picture is of one of my favorite places, but the swamped rowboat made me wonder about what happened and how it made it to this hike-in lake in the mountains.
What does this picture make you think of? Make up a story that includes this scene.

Stephen King said, “Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.”
What do you think about that quote? Do you believe that inspiration will strike you like lightning while you are sitting on your couch? Or do you believe it will sneak up on you while you are working hard to achieve your dreams?

I like to cook, and have a lot of gadgets to help with the process. However, I often find myself using my good old chef’s knife rather than my food processor. Maybe it’s the fact that it isn’t that much easier with a food processor if I’m only chopping a small amount, or maybe I like the feel of chopping the strips of veggies by hand … or maybe a bit of both.
What about you? Do you prefer using a food processor or a knife? Or would you rather not cook at all? Write about how you like to cook for today’s writing prompt.

Have you ever had a day when you just need to let loose of all of the stressors and do something silly? I certainly have. Or, maybe you are feeling happy and like throwing everything serious to the wind.
Well, today’s writing prompt gives you the opportunity to throw seriousness to the wind and write a conversation between cereal and milk? What would they say? Would they be friends or enemies?
I can’t wait to hear what you come up with.
So set your timer and ready … set … write!
It’s February and people are struggling to maintain their fitness goals. So for today’s writing prompt, let’s explore your favorite way to get exercise.
I love dancing (in private), hiking, and snowshoeing … and basically anything that doesn’t feel like I’m exercising.
What about you? Do you love going to the gym or doing a structured workout? Or are you more like me and prefer your exercise to sneak up on you while you’re having fun?
Set your timer for 5 minutes and ready … set … write!
I think I was 6 when I learned to ride a bike. After many wobbly rides, bloody knees, and soothed tears I finally learned. Though I’ve never become the fanatic that some of my friends are, I have done the occasional 50 mile ride…okay, that was long ago.
What about you? When did you learn? Did you take to it like a fish to water? Do you still bike?

You can read it in the picture, but I’ll write it again here … just in case. 😉
You are tasked with writing articles for the local pasture’s gossip rag. You heard a really good one from Ewenice (I know, it’s cheesy).
Write your juicy story. Set your time for 5 minutes and … ready … set … write!
I was sitting at my desk trying to figure out what to write about. What on earth did I have to say that anyone would want to read? Has that ever happened to you?
Then, in my head, the 1980s Chicago song started playing 25 or 6 to 4, and all of a sudden, I knew I just needed to start writing about not knowing what to write and I would figure it out eventually.
See, the thing is that as you start to write, even if you have no idea what you are going to write about, the ideas start to flow, and the words flow as well, better and better as you keep going.
That’s not to say your first draft will be perfect – or even 25% of what you’ll end up with, but it is a start, and sometimes a start is all you need to open the floodgate of words locked in your head.
So today, write about a time when you had nothing to say, or about not having anything to say now.
If you need some inspiration about writing about not knowing what to say, listen to the YouTube on Chicago’s channel here.
Okay, now set your timer and ready … set … write!
