Seeing as it’s World Oceans Day, I thought today might be a great excuse for some pirate-themed writing prompts. Anyone who’s seen Lost and Found pop up around my blog knows I need zero excuses to shoehorn more pirates into everyone’s day, but Lord knows I’ll take them when I see them.

Down these all in one go, or spread them over your writing day. Whether you prefer loose guidelines or word-by-word challenges is up to the writer, but do your best writing! Or your worst–whatever it takes to get words on the page.
