Literal Story Prompts

Need some inspiration to get those writerly fingers typing away, flying across the keyboard? Need some help getting out of your own head-space, getting the kinks unraveled, preventing (or maybe curing) writer’s block?

Well, try this exercise on for size…

Write a piece of fiction that incorporates all of the elements displayed in the accompanying picture:

The Rules.

The story has to implement one of each of the three articles: cup of coffee, stapler, tube of lipstick.
It can be about anything at ALL—just make sure it ties into the prompts and it works.
Have fun, be imaginative. See what kind of storyline you can create from with this!
If you want, submit the finished piece back to LitLiber—you never know, it just may end up getting posted right here for the week. (Include an author bio (with website/social media platform if applicable) so people know who wrote it!)
