I will admit, fall is my favorite of the four seasons. I'm a Libra baby, so I get to have a big ole' party, Halloween is an awesome holiday that brings both candy and costumes, and I have always loved playing soccer in the fall (even if it's just me kicking the ball around alone). For that reason, here are some extremely enjoyable free creative writing prompts about fall. All of the leaves, the brisk chills, and the beginning of the holiday season can be talked about within these ten idea-generating story starters. Feel free to share those ideas with the community in the submission form below!

Fall has changed a lot for me since I graduated from college. I miss getting back into the swing of things with classmates and peers and learning copious amounts of new information from new teachers. That being said, now throughout the year I make the effort to continue learning through new authors and I still try to learn more from myself as each year goes by. Hopefully, these free creative writing prompts about fall will also help you guys and gals to learn more about yourselves. Happy fall and happy writing!
