- Writer’s Digest prompts
- The First Line
- Creative Writing Prompts
- WritingFix.com’s Daily Writing Prompts
- Daily Writing Spark (fee-based, but cheap)
- 15 Craft Exercises for Writers
- Charlotte Dillon’s Writing Prompts (You also might want to check out her Romance Writers Community, which has a RWC Writing Prompts Yahoo group)
- Creativity Portal’s Imagination Prompt Generator
- You Don’t Need Inspiration (but you do need seeds of ideas … here are a dozen.)
- 20 Ways to Keep Your Writing Inspiration and Creativity High
- Themes for Personal Writing Inspiration

I also found some good articles on the topic of smacking your muse around … (Did I say that out loud? No … I meant feeding and nurturing your muse! Or whatever works!)
- Investigations in Writer’s Inspiration
- Writing Ideas: Where Do You Get Them?
- Reading Makes Great Writers
