My favorite prompt on the page asks how your life would be different if you were born in the past or the future.
8. Fantasy Writing Prompts - One of my favorite genres to read includes stories of folklore and fantasy. I played a lot of video games and watched a ton of movies in this genre as a kid and it shows with these nerdy prompts. How would you go about a quest to save the world from impending doom?

6. Music Writing Prompts - Music has been such an important part of my life and I'm not even a frequent concertgoer. We can't help but remember how music has influenced certain parts of our lives. There are songs and musicians we associate with the great or horrible memories we have and as a result, we can use those associations for creative purposes.
5. Prompts about the American Dream - I love the idea of the American Dream and how to truly be happy you actually need to figure out your own goals instead of some white picket fence fantasy. I had a great time writing these prompts and I hope that you'll enjoy reconsidering your life direction to make it more specific and unique.

I think that writing prompts playing on your memory can be helpful to all of the future writing you do. Learn to bring your memories to the surface and you will have an unlimited supply of story idea for the rest of your life.
1. Journal Writing Ideas - I think that everybody should keep a journal whether it's in the form of a blog or a notebook.
