by Ryan Andrew Kinder (Author)

Have you ever wanted to write a story, but you didn't know how? Or are you good at writing stories, but stuck for ideas? Are you currently writing a story, but you have writers block? Well, have I got the book for you friend. I can call you friend because we've just built up a rapport with my rhetorical questions. This is a book chock full of writing prompts. These are little things that will help you along to writing some amazing stuff that spills out of your mind. You're wondering: "But what kind of prompts are they? I've seen writing prompts before, but they're all lame." That's a good thing to be wondering, friend. I've crafted and homebrewed only the finest of prompts for your pleasure. You won't be confined to any one genre, you'll find a limitless amount of prompts ranging from comedy to serious to horror. I say limitless, but I meant 1,000 prompts precisely. I said 1,000 precisely, but there's slightly more if you count the introduction. Listen, friend, I promise not to fib from this point on. The book is split into a few sections: Beginners Writing Prompts (it's a super short section, don't worry); Constrained Writing (that's where you are forced into absolutely specific criteria for the prompt); Flash Fiction (either a word count or a time count is imposed upon you); Ripper Prompts (you are given a list of items for "Random Item Prompts"); and the bulk of the book ends with basic writing prompts with which you can write as much as you please with no tricks!

Author Biography

Ryan Andrew Kinder (1980-4277, died heroically in a battle in the Great Machine Uprising. Previously thought to be immortal.) is an author. But you knew that already, this being an author biography. Having aspired to the lofty goal of having people read things that entertained him, being as egotistical as writers are, he set out to put pen to paper in the late 1980's. Fast forward through twenty years of procrastination and you have the man before you today. Brimming with ideas and scores of half completed projects. He then set out to create a writing group on Reddit called simply "Writing Prompts." Two years have passed and the group is home to over 1,000,000 amazing people. Give or take a few knuckleheads. Their tireless energy in writing helped Ryan Andrew Kinder gain the confidence he needed to finally finish things. Why is Ryan Andrew Kinder writing a bio in the third person, as if he wasn't the one puffing himself up? That remains to be seen.
