FWJ Radio Today: Battling Writer’s Block

If it’s Tuesday it must be FWJ Radio day. Join the FWJ blogging team this morning as we discuss ways to stimulate our creativity and battle writers block. After a bit of discussion we’ll be opening the phone lines to hear your thoughts, questions and ideas. Chat will be open as well. Last week the chat was enabled a little late – and many people didn’t think there was a chat at all! If this happens again this week, please refresh every now and then until you see the chat room.

To accompany our broadcast today, here is a list of links to writers prompts to help get your creative juices going. Some of these are geared towards students, but still, they’re helpful when you need a writing exercise to help give you a jump. Also, many of these are geared towards fiction writers, but they get you thinking all the same.

There are a couple of cool prompt generators in here as well:

As always, if you miss the live broadcast, FWJ Radio will be available on demand immediately following. I’ll post the player here as I do every week.
