New ���Storystarters��� lists 200+ writing prompts
My latest 
book, Storystarters: 200+ Writing Prompts That Lead To Stories, hit bookstore shelves today.
Storystarters presents more than 200 writing prompts centered on exciting and interesting conflicts for a protagonist to solve. The prompts are divided among more than 50 topics and pit the story���s hero against nature, another person, society, god(s), and himself in various scenarios.
I was motivated to write the book because all too often writing prompt books offered some neat ideas but few of them actually lead to a story. That���s because those prompts all too often missed a key element: conflict. Conflict is the heart of every story, and without it you���re just writing a journal entry.
Storystarters marks my sixth writing guidebook and 25th book overall. In addition to being an author, I���m a long-time editor and creative writing teacher.
The book is available online in paperback and as a Kindle ebook.
Professional Book Editor: Having your novel, short story or nonfiction manuscript proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
