In the summers when I taught at the Kentucky Governor’s School for the Arts, the students began each day with freewriting.

Write what comes to you…

The prompts are all short phrases from various sources: a poem, a play, overheard dialogue.

I wanted to make a website that could give prompts at random. I wanted the students to keep doing this after they graduated.

Forget the rules. Forget making sense…

So I coded it. There are hundreds of prompts available at random.
