Embers ~ December 2022
A collection of writing prompts
Well met, traveler.
Errr…hello, I mean. (Sorry, I’ve been spellbound these past few days by Stephen King’s latest, Fairy Tale. What a compelling book!)
Let me start by wishing you all a Happy New Year.
I hope everyone has been enjoying this holiday season. I’ve taken over a week off from writing — Substack in general, too — and I must say, I feel so excited to be typing this right now. Several short fiction ideas have been brewing for a couple of weeks, but I have temporarily put them on hold. The speculative/fantasy genre has me shackled at the moment, and I’m thinking the only way forward is through its grasp. My next story, scheduled for Monday, falls somewhere in this realm.
Darn you, Charlie Reade and Stephen King!
As promised, here is the December edition of Embers. These prompts have been written over the course of the month. I also added a few prompts from last year that I thought were worthy of inclusion.
If you are a free subscriber and would like access to Embers, please click on the link below. You will be gifted a free trial for a week! While you’re on the clock, be sure to check out previous editions of Embers for extra fiction writing prompts. All free subscribers have until January 7th, 2023 to redeem.
For your convenience, the previous editions of Embers are attached below.
If you like what you see, or if you find that the prompts help to kickstart some writing of your own, I’d love it if you told a friend about Embers or Along the Hudson.
Thanks so much for being here.
Enjoy! And happy writing.
