Start Collecting Story Sparks

StoryADay participant Badge

Writing a story a day for a month is exhilarating…and a little exhausting.

That’s why I send you writing prompts, but the prompt is just the start.

You have to take that idea and develop it into something that interests YOU, and hat can be hard to do every day, when you’re in a time-crunch.

So let’s do some prep this month.

Reading this on 4/8/2026 inspired me to check the NOTES section of my phone. I knew I had recorded some sparks and was absolutely stunned that there are over 50 of them spanning back to 2022 (some viable, others not as much). My writing practice has absolutely benefitted from StoryaDay. I love it!

  Love that!
  (So often I forget I’ve already done some of the work. It’s a frustration and a delight when I discover it!)

  Melanie,
  Same, bucket loads on a backlog, heaps of little snippets lying around. I’ve not done Story-a-day since 2024 and am looking forward to giving it a crack again this year.

Day 25 | by Fan Fic In Forty
The Prompt Today I want you to write a story in 40 minutes. To help with that, we’re going to take away some of the invention you would otherwise have to do, by writing fan-fiction. Choose a story, character or world invented by someone else, take a couple of their characters and mix things up. … Continue reading "Day 25 | by Fan Fic In Forty"
Day 24 | by A Toy’s Tale
The Prompt Write a story that revolves around an heirloom toy. This might be a single character’s reminiscence of a beloved toy; a character’s discovery of an heirloom toy that changes everything; or perhaps you want to follow your heirloom toy through several ‘lifetimes’ in a series of short flash or micro-fiction pieces. This can … Continue reading "Day 24 | by A Toy’s Tale"
A Stupendous Amount of Writing
It’s tempting to think that other writers have it easier, or other times were easier on writers. This week I read the editorial in the February 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine, a relatively new publication at the time. The magazine was making its mark, in part, by offering the highest rates in the … Continue reading "A Stupendous Amount of Writing"
Day 23 | Beyond Sound and Vision by Elizabeth Twist
The Prompt Where film and television can give us rich soundscapes and nuanced visuals, only the written word allows us to access the whole range of human senses. The challenge: write a story that uses touch, smell, and/or taste, and avoids visual and audio descriptions. Delve into some of the other senses if you wish: … Continue reading "Day 23 | Beyond Sound and Vision by Elizabeth Twist"
Day 22 | by Hero of Their Own Story
The Prompt Take a story that you’ve written (maybe this month? Maybe from a longer or older work?) and rewrite an important incident, from the point of view of your main character’s nemesis. Your beloved main character does need some flaws in order to allow readers to relate to them. Writing a story about them, … Continue reading "Day 22 | by Hero of Their Own Story"
