The fastest and most effective way to improve your writing skills and become a better writer is by simply writing more. Quality may be more important than quality to artists, but all great artists understand that it is the quantity of practice that allows you to produce the highest quality work. In my experience, there are times when we just need a little push in the right direction. Sometimes we just need a trigger to get the creative juices flowing again. And thats why we need writing prompts.
