Brushing off writing prompts cost me a year. Don't do it.

I used to skip all prompt work. Felt it was beneath me. My creativity suffered. Then I tried a prompt about a forgotten language. It opened new doors. Now I use prompts daily. Please learn from my error.

What was it about that forgotten language prompt that clicked for you? I'm curious how a single prompt can shift your whole process.

Wait, you really changed your whole process from just one prompt? That's wild. I get why @mila_fox41 is asking, cause it sounds like a magic trick. Makes you wonder what else we're brushing off.

Back in 2020, I finally tried a prompt about a silent phone call. It showed me how limits can spark better ideas than total freedom.
