# Story Prompt Generator

I want a batch of story prompts for writing practice or a new project, built for adult and hobbyist fiction writers rather than a classroom exercise.

My genre is [GENRE:select:fantasy,romance,horror,mystery or thriller,science fiction,literary fiction,contemporary].

I'm working at [FORMAT:select:short story,flash fiction,novel starting point,just a scene to practice with] length.

Any themes or subjects worth exploring: [THEME_INTEREST?] (grief, ambition, a specific setting, anything you want the prompts to lean into)

Generate [COUNT:number:3-10] story prompts based on my inputs. Each prompt should run 2 to 4 sentences describing a situation, a character, or a question to write from, not a full outline. Vary the tone and structure across the batch. Open some prompts on a single striking image, some on a decision a character has to make, some on a piece of overheard dialogue. Skip grade levels, teaching notes, and lesson framing entirely. This is for writers who already know how to write and want a spark to start.
