When you hit that writing wall or are trying to come up with that best-selling story, you COULD try picture prompts or…. get out the FISHWRAP.

FISH•WRAP: Slang for any printed journalistic medium (newspaper, magazine, etc.) with such low credibility and standards in acceptable journalism, that its only useful function is to wrap fresh fish in.

Well, this definition isn’t exactly true. Old newspapers were used for a variety of things, from wrapping fish (or other items) from the market, to house insulation. Awaiting at Newspapers.com’s blog (blog.newspapers.com), “Fishwrap” a plethora of great ideas for your next story, or to add to your WIP — no matter the genre or time.

But be warned. You could get caught in the allure of Fishwrap and end up with more ideas that you can handle—now isn’t that a wonderful thought!

Happy Fishing!
