Mid-Novel Writing Prompts: 100 Inspiring Ideas For The Fiction Book You've Started To Write (Writer's Craft) Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 34 ratings

Do you want a daily dose of inspiration to carry your novel plot forward? Conventional lists of writing prompts are great for starting new projects, but don't work if you're already well into a story with developed characters and an ongoing plot. This book can help.

Whether you seek to boost your own imagination, to rekindle your passion for a book project or to release a creative block, these prompts will get the juices flowing.

To stimulate the flow of your imagination, I provide some ideas for every prompt: guiding questions, what-if scenarios, and suggestions how you might interpret the topic. While they may not be an exact fit for your novel, they will open the flood gates so your own ideas gush forth.

Please note: this is not a novel-plotting guide. If you want structural help for your 'sagging middle', you may find my book Writing Vivid Plots more useful.

    These prompts are specifically designed to help you get the creative juices flowing whenever you are stuck. All of Rayne Hall's prompt books are good for this to some extent, but these ones are specifically DESIGNED to not jar you out of whatever work in progress you're currently banging your head against the wall, trying to finish, but to coax you to experiment with a new creative direction with what you already have. Recommend!

    I write a lot of reviews and also write pulp fiction
    (Crime, Mystery, Thriller, Horror).
    Therefore, I tend to look at books a wee bit differently
    than most other readers.
    I don't give 5 stars for reasons you can probably figure out.
    I did give, Mid-Novel Prompts, 4 stars, based on the thought
    provoking ideas the author packed the pages with.
    It is a relatively short book and it can be read in little more
    than an hour, which is good, because now you can get back
    to rewriting some of the scenes in your own story.
    What are you waiting for?
    Go get the book, and get back to finishing your book.
    Shoo.....Go......

    So, I am always looking for a way to stimulate my creativity when I'm in the middle of a story. Occasionally, I can't turn on the faucet and I have to turn to a prompt or two to make up the difference. It usually happens in the middle of a scene or the story. Anyway, if you are in need, you should make the purchase. It will be well worth it.

    These prompts really help to flesh out ideas for writers. If your story is stuck, this book will help breathe new life and interest into it! Extremely useful.

    Good content but a heading of "Prompt # Whatever" is meaningless. The conflict/question should be the heading. You have to scour the book or do a fuzzy search to find the prompt you need. Once there, the author does offer some thought-provoking questions. I hope an updated, indexed version comes out.

    Rayne Hall's writing prompts are (for me) nicely middle of the road. They aren't so generic as to be a blinding flash of the obvious, but they also aren't so extreme that they wouldn't fit into a real-world story (my stories are mysteries without sci fi, horror, or supernatural themes).

    I like the recommendations accompanying each suggestion. The additional questions provide more aspects to consider, each of which acts as a prompt in itself.

    Curto e direto ao ponto. Da algumas ideias para o meio do livro. Recomendo a leitura. Mas não espere prosa longa

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2017
    I love Rayne Hall. She has inspired me, and I have learnt so much from her technical books, I have purchased them all, and refer to them often. In my opinion, she is one of the very best authors, out there.
    Her fictional books are great. 'Storm Dancer', is a favourite. Her Ghost stories will have you looking over your shoulder. She writes in so many different genres, the lady is amazing. Don't take my word for it folks, check her out for yourselves, I promise you will not be disappointed.
