The Prompts page on my favorite writing site broke last Tuesday
I had 3 hours blocked to work on that horror prompt about the abandoned subway tunnel, but the page just showed a blank white screen. Refreshed 6 times, cleared cache, even switched browsers. Anyone know a good backup site for daily writing prompts?

The third time I refreshed that blank white screen I actually threw my phone on the couch which is dramatic but I was so mad. I used to think r/WritingPrompts was fine for backups but honestly the quality there is hit or miss and the prompts get buried too fast. Then I found this site called Reedsy that has daily prompts with word counts and genres listed, it actually got me to write a whole short story last Saturday. What changed my mind was realizing the prompts on Reedsy are curated by actual editors so theyre not just random one-liners from strangers online. Plus they email you a new one every morning which saved me from doomscrolling for inspiration. Give it a shot if you need something reliable, the tunnel horror prompt sounds sick honestly.

Yeah the email thing was a game changer for me too, it actually made writing a habit instead of a chore.
