Spin a globe if you have one and then close your eyes. Use your pointer finger and point it at the globe to stop it. Wherever your finger lands, write about traveling to that place. Of course, you may not know anything about it, but that’s okay. For this freewrite, use the place you point to as a fantasy prompt. Pretend about the place. You can make up everything (from inhabitants to languages to vegetation to special powers)! Or if you do happen to know about the place, you can use the information you already have.
This is a freewrite so be free!

Pcik a letter and string together a sentence with as many words that start with that sound as possible. If you run out, pick another letter. Don’t worry about sense! Be nonsensical. Ready, go!

Write about snow: playing in it, skiing on it, watching it fall.
Conversely, if you have never experienced snow, write about rain!

Freewrite about light (contrast it with dark, contrast it with heavy). Think about it as illumination (physical as in the sun, or personal, as in understanding). Rhyme it, use it as a verb, a noun, an adjective. Think of all the ways the word “light” can be used and understood. Let any one of them lead you in any direction. Run with it.

Write a set of rules that would make you incredibly happy to obey. For instance, one rule might be that you get to eat dessert first at every meal. Think about all the things you would love to have as “rules” that perhaps now are not.
