I am still trying to figure out where my story is going (I guess I will continue to do so until week 3). I need some prompts!
Leave a prompt here for other people, and take a few to get unstuck (at least for a little bit)
here's mine
start your writing with a description of wet feet

For character: Open up a phone book. 'Borrow' names.
For a plot: Find the plot ninjas. I know xenachick has them, maybe she'll make a web version.
For everything else: If you google search "writing exercises" you can find tons of prompts.
