I am Participating in the A-Z Challenge and have spent several weeks panning out ideas for it. One idea I'd like to share with you is if you are having trouble coming up with ideas- try short writing prompts!
Write for at least 100 words about a mystery, a historic item, a house, coins, and a shoe.
Write for at least 150 words about a coin, a pine tree, and a politician.
Write for at least 1 minute about an agreement, a deck of cards, a dragon, and a treasured heirloom.
Write for at least 300 words about a disagreement, a businesswoman, a banjo, and a key. Focus on description that uses all five senses.
Write for at least 200 words about a case of mistaken identity, a fire, a lightning bolt, and a crutch. Focus on describing unusual details.
Happy writing!

Excellent writing prompts. I will include YouTube for some of my post. I figured people could use a break from reading.

Ahhh. I call these "jumpstarts" and I've been doing them for years. Most of my books started as jumpstarts...just to see where the story idea was going. Great idea.
Great idea! I'm still working my ideas out. I look forward to reading yours!
Oooooh Great prompts!!!!! I am doing the challenge too and decided to just write about whatever word popped into my head first.....I guess we'll see how this goes!! LOL!!
Great writing prompts! And yay for the A to Z Challenge. I can't wait!
Love these raw beginnings. That's how I got the idea for the story I'm doing now.
I, um.. haven't done that much planning for A-Z! It always felt like ages away and now it's like... less than two weeks!
Great idea.
I've started to work on my A-Z Challenge posts (I've got just over a week planned so far) and I want to get them done by the end of the month so I have time to sit back and read during April itself!
LOL, I knew I could count on you. I'll have to come back to remember all of those, I am older you know :)

There are SO many people doing the A to Z Challenge! It's going to be a blast to read all the posts. Will you do a letter a day about fairies? Because that would be awesome! All I know is that I'm going to post short, like really short. And I'm going to click all over the place and try to visit about 25 different blogs a day. Whew!
Thanks for the tips, we're still trying to figure out if we'll be able to do it or not (March was so busy for us, we aren't too organized right now!!).
