Writing Muse

Instant inspiration boosters for creative writing

Get the ideas you need for your next great piece of narration, poetry or prose. This app will present you with prompt after prompt to help you ignite your imagination.

Writing is probably one of the greatest and easiest to access outlets for expression, but sometimes it takes a while to warm up and get one started.

If you are into creative writing of any kind, if you like imagining worlds or telling stories or describing things or just being funny, this app will provide you a supply of imagery and suggestions that you can use in your journey.

Intended to be as simple to use as a stack of index cards, you just press the screen and you'll be faced with a new writing idea each time. It can be anything, from a technical challenge to a quick image presented without context so that your imagination starts to fill (and write) the gaps.

In all cases, the prompts have been designed with the focus on being amusing and creative, while at the same time leaving enough ambiguity and room for expansion so that each individual writer can develop their texts in their own personal way.

Some of the prompts maybe say nothing to you, while others get you typing immediately. You are also encouraged to go through several and combine them, or modify the proposals in any way that catches your fancy.

This is not a "paint by numbers" kind of app, but a tool to help each writer develop their own style. Creativity flourishes under constraints; by taking away the need of the starting theme or prompt, the app liberates the mind of the writer to focus better on the details.

All the ideas contained in the app are free to use, and whatever you write out of them is 100% of your belonging, as ideas are nothing without execution and you can set the same idea and no two writers will go in the same direction.

The texts appear with four different backgrounds representing the four elements, as a sort of continuous reminder for writers of the classical advice of staying "grounded" on reality (describe physical things through your senses, keep the action moving, etc)...

Hopefully some of these hints will get you motivated to fill a few pages and have a good time doing it. Happy writing...
