THE DAILY SPARK
A little inspiration.
A place to begin.
For readers, writers and anyone who wants a few thoughtful minutes. No account. No perfect answers.
A sample from the collection
Notice the ordinary
Find one detail in your current book that you might have overlooked. Why did the author keep it?
Your writing stays in this open page. It is not saved or sent to us. Copy or print it before leaving.
How Daily Spark works
Choose reading, writing or a small action. Today’s starting theme follows your device’s date and rotates through 14 themes, with 42 original editorial prompts in total. Another idea lets you browse the collection at your own pace. These are writing exercises and reflections, not quotations from famous people or excerpts from our books.
Make it your own
Set aside five minutes. Read the prompt once, write without polishing, then underline the sentence you would like to explore. You can keep your response private, bring the question to your book club, or use it to begin a longer draft.
