Hello! I'm not really new, but I haven't been here in a very, very long time, so I thought I would reintroduce myself! I've been a writer since I could hold a pencil, but I took some time off from fiction to earn a PhD in Information Science. I got into a job that hasn't been good for me and haven't written much at all since I finished my dissertation two-ish years ago. Right now I'm struggling because the ideas are not coming to me as easily as they used to. I know that that's partly because I have to write to make the ideas flow, but it gets hard to look at that empty Scrivener page. Anyway, I'm glad to be back! Thanks for reading!

I remember you. Glad to see you're trying to make time to write again. I know the struggles of trying to come up with ideas when your muse has taken a very long vacation. Let me suggest Justin's Daily Exercise Board:

Enjoy! And we've cleaned up the boards and moved them around. If you can't find something, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks! I just pulled up an excellent prompt that's right in line with the kind of story I hope to write!

Isn't that a strange coincidence when that happens? I've actually gotten full novel ideas from his prompts. Have fun with it!

Hi Zippy! Welcome back to FM!

Wishing you many useful new ideas!

Welcome back to FM! I was about to suggest the daily prompts as a way to get you going again, but I see someone already beat me to it. It's great you already found one that inspired you. Hopefully it will be the start of an avalanche of words.
