Phillip Said:

Christian writing prompts and Christian writing exercises?

We Answered:

Absolutely it isn't a sin. Look up/ try and read Pilgrim's Progress, it's a fiction christian book.

Marcus Said:

Where can I find Christian writing prompts and exercises?

We Answered:

It's not crazy at all, and I'm sure there are people who would appreciate it. There is nothing blasphemous in attempting to help others or creating a site to do so. I doubt very much you will be adding anything on the site that blasphemes the Name of Jesus. Right? Fortunately for us, God does not easily take offense (unlike people). Isn't that nice to know? :)

You might want to check out Francine Rivers' site http://www.francinerivers.com/writing_ti… - she has some writing tips there.

Perhaps you already ran across this site http://christian.fictionfactor.com/ - it looks rather promising.

Here http://www.christianwritersguild.com/ is the Christian Writers' Guild.

If I run across anything more, I'll edit.

Teiresias advises Odysseus not to eat any of Helios’s cattle on Thrinakia. He also tells him how to ensure himself a peaceful death.

Virgil Said:

What are some of your favorite writing prompts?

We Answered:

Why not just write about something that you feel connected to as you go day by day rather than having a set list?

If you're having friend trouble, write about what it means to be a friend. If youre feeling particularly happy one day, write about the things that make you smile in life.

I believe the best kind of writing is unplanned free writing where whatever you're feeling at that moment can flow onto the paper.

How do you get prompts for writing practice?

We Answered:

I have journals w/ snippets of dialogue that I like but didn't use in other stories. Another has character studies. Another has plots, several pages for each one so I can fill in details as I need them. I keep a small pad in my purse to jot down ideas on the go. At home I turn on music, sit in a comfortable chair & play "What If?" Sometimes it's in reaction to a song, other times to my musings.

I don't usually have trouble coming up w/ ideas. If I do, & the above ideas don't stimulate my mind, then I glance through the book The Writer's Idea Book by Jack Heffron.

[edit] You shouldn't have any trouble w/ ideas. I liked your image of hitting your forehead w/ your finger & getting a bruise. Very funny--very visual. I knew exactly what you meant.
