Hello and happy Thursday Thirteen everyone!

This week’s Thursday Thirteen prompts are going to continue on with prompts, questions, first lines, and other inspiration to help you get writing.

If there is another prompt you think would be helpful, be sure to let me know in the comments or by using the ‘contact me’ button under the site description.

Thirteen Writing Prompts

1. “You know you love her. Now go and get her.” (Yep, from Hey Jude.)
2. “Ask and thou shalt receive.”
3. “It’s up to you to make the change. No one else can do it but you.”
4. “It was meant to be.”
5. “I can see you’ve made your mind up. What am I supposed to do now?”
6. “Stop! What you’re doing is going to kill him!”
7. “I found the strangest thing in my pocket this morning, and I don’t remember putting it in there.”
8. “I can’t tell you what I might do.”
9. “You’re a fool, no doubts about it.”
10. “I think we might die tonight.
11. “All I want is this. Nothing more. Nothing less.”
12. “Duck!”
13. “I love you, but we only have thirteen hours to save the earth.” (If you can tell me one of the two places where that’s from, I’ll give you a cookie.)
