Say Hello to WordPrompts!

We’re excited to introduce a set of prompts for creators of all types! Meet WordPrompt, a single-word monthly exercise that aims to inspire you to create new posts, regardless of what or how you publish.

April 5, 2022

Mindy Postoff

Earlier this year, we kicked off 2022 with Bloganuary, a daily blogging challenge during the month of January. The feedback we received about the challenge was overwhelmingly positive, and it’s clear that prompts serve as a helpful way to inspire people to write and to connect with other bloggers.

We want to keep that momentum going, so we’re excited to introduce a new set of prompts for creators of all types — whether they participated in Bloganuary or not. Meet WordPrompt, a single-word monthly exercise that aims to inspire you to create new posts, regardless of what or how you publish.

Are you a food blogger sharing recipes? We challenge you to cook up something interesting based on an individual word. 

Are you a photographer with an online portfolio? Show us how the prompt is represented in picture form.

Do you host a podcast or a vlog? We’d love to witness how a single word inspires an episode.

Whatever you publish, we hope you find inspiration in WordPrompts. To join in on the fun, add “WordPrompt” as a tag to your post, allowing your content to be discovered more easily in the Reader, and use the hashtag #WordPrompt when you share your post on social media.

You can find new WordPrompts on our social channels, so be sure to follow us to participate!

    One word prompts are more flexible than questions but there are a vast number of one word prompt sources available on a daily basis let alone monthly. I’ll give this a go since it may create more community and connection via participation, but I have my reservations that one word per month can achieve much momentum.

    I am glad that something like this is being brought back after the loss of the previous official efforts like this, like The Daily Post blog.

    I think that adding a weekly WordPrompt as well would be nice, and maybe even a daily one as well.

    Thank you.

    I still miss the Weekly Photo Challenge. Individuals have created other weekly challenges that filled that void but few have the large community WP has. At least this is something.

    When I was in grad school decades ago, a professor wrote a single word on the blackboard , It was a weekly night class. The word wars Fometzonian, Which as far as I know is not a real word. I scored an AU on that. I took formats on the end to be the last name of an old Armenian man and wrote about him, of course totally fiction it was fun.

    Excellent initiative!! Since a lot of people work on the same word, it motivates us to work better and see how we compare with the rest. Do keep up the good work:)

    Hi, I cannot get WordPress.com nor my admin page(https://topmoneydog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ ) to load AT ALL, so I cannot post anything on my blog! Would you please help me in getting this resolved? I CAN reach my blog, but when I hit Write or anything, nothing happens (it starts and then stops). I also can reach the About page, but not the admin page. I also tried hitting Edit to see if I could get there…nope! VERY frustrating! I wanted to copy my posts and save them,so I have them available. I am not particularly savvy when it comes to computers. I would appreciate any assistance you can give. Thanks for your time and consideration.

      Hey there, that site does not appear to be hosted here with us, and right now the address isn’t resolving for me. It seems to be a problem with the domain or hosting account. Can you contact your hosting provider for help with this?
