15 nonhuman writing prompts!
here are some nonhuman writing prompts i came up with that hopefully will encourage you to be introspective and deeply think about yourself and your relation to the world. i find that some lists of prompts don't inspire me to write much, so i hope you find at least one useful prompt here!
