This is a 30-day comedy writing prompt series that helps comedians find material in ordinary life, one daily prompt at a time.

We’ve all been there. You sit down to write, open a notebook, stare at the page, and you hit a wall. You start questioning all your life choices and wonder if resume formats have changed since you last submitted one. But the problem isn’t that there’s nothing in the bank. The problem is that sometimes the blank page is eerily good at scaring away creativity.

And sometimes, all those creative thoughts need is a nudge.

That’s what this 30 day challenge is.

It’s a nudge.

One simple prompt each day, to coax The Muse out of her hiding place and onto the page.

Each day for 30 days, you’ll receive a stand-up writing prompt via email—a simple prompt built around a common human experience like:

• waiting in line

• small talk

• late-night eating

• visiting family

• cancelling a subscription

As a participant in the challenge, each day you’ll get:

• one ordinary-life topic

• a short explanation of why it works

• five questions to help you generate observations and angles

• a simple instruction to get writing fast

No pillow-worthy inspirational quotes. No “unlock your inner creative genius” nonsense.

Just simple prompts to help you find material where it actually lives: in your everyday life.
