Creative Writing Prompts

I found these links to creative writing prompts courtesy of Tiel Aisha Ansari, whose blog Knocking From Inside also includes many links to poetry and other resources. I found her site and her excellent story Slow Dawn via Sunday Scribblings.

Three Word Wednesday
Maintained by Bone, who writes, "Each week, I will post three (or more) random words. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write something using all of those words. It can be a few lines, a story, a poem, anything. I'll also attempt to write something using the same words."
-----------------------
The following three writing prompt sites are brought to you by Write Stuff:

[Fiction] Friday

Creative Carnival

Haiku: One Deep Breath

Note: This meme will be discontinuing: "A new group site involving a number of Poetry Thursday participants is in the works. More details on this project will be forthcoming in the final post on this site."
