Essays of which sort? Personal essay prompts (like short memoir, introspective essays), or more scholarly essays (which would require research and source material)?

Like, "A Short History of the Fork" and "The Impact of the Roman Empire on Western Culture"? Or "That Time I Rolled Down a Mountain and Learned the Meaning of Life?"

So personal essays.

Okay, cool.

So here's a list of prompts to get you started. There are 50 of them, so surely something will stir and get you writing.

50 CREATIVE NONFICTION PROMPTS

To find them, I did a Google search for "creative nonfiction prompts." Got lots of returns. This link was just one of many. If you find a prompt you particularly like, it would be amazing if you'd post it here or in Prompts & Challenges. In the meantime, I'll post a couple of these in P&C and assign some Honor Points to them.

The last time I looked at creative writing prompts, almost none of the prompts brought content up in my mind. But I think that writing fiction will be easier for me, which I plan to write, soon from the time that I buy a new laptop.
