DAE think prompt lists are a scam until one actually made me finish a story set in Duluth?
I rolled my eyes at those 30-day prompt challenges for 2 months, then a random one about a missed bus got me 4,000 words in a weekend. Now I want to know which single prompt actually broke your block, not just the ones you saved to a folder.

You ever see someone go from zero to obsessed over a dumb list? My buddy Dave used to make fun of those prompt calendars, called them training wheels for people who can't commit. Then he tried one about finding a stranger's wallet at a gas station off I-35. Boom, 6,000 words about a trucker, a missing dog, and a secret love letter. He didn't even edit it, just kept going. Now he swears the trick is picking a prompt that feels boring, because your brain has to work to make it interesting.
