A couple of you requested fall writing prompts…
and now that it’s autumn and I’m back to regular blogging, I’m happy to oblige!
These fall writing prompts
are for a few different genres, including young adult, cozy fantasy, and romance. These are appropriate for teachers to use in classrooms, too. Some of them are specific to autumn, and some of them just have fall vibes.
