I enjoy reading fictional storys and creating my own. To come up with a fictional story, you must come up with an overall concept/s. Writing prompts can help with that. Reddit has a sub-reddit full of them. ^^^ The following list is some of the most interesting writing prompts I could find for the website, Reddit.

  1. After witnessing a death, a young girl falls in love with the Grim Reaper. She becomes a serial killer just to see him more often. – PeterCHward
