Here are all of the writing prompts I had up on my Instagram this week! If you haven’t been following along, follow me for daily written, music, and image prompts throughout the month of February. I’ll be writing a play every day, but these prompts work well for poetry, music, fiction, nonfiction, or basically anything else creative you want to do! Let me know if you use any of the prompts this week.
