Sometimes we can get stuck when trying to come up with a speech topic. One way around this is to look at a list of prompts for writers. At Writer’s Digest on November 6, 2020 there is an article by Cassandra Lipp titled 81 Creative writing prompts for writers. And at Written Word Media on September 21, 2020 there is another article by Kelsey Worsham titled 500 Writing prompts to help beat writer’s block.

 

Starting from a prompt also is a way to practice impromptu speaking - responding to questions like in the Table Topics section in a Toastmasters club meeting. At Spirited Speech Masters on July 8, 2019 there is yet another article by Lori Huff titled Using writing prompts to improve at Table Topics.
