Stopped skipping the weird prompts in my book
Embracing odd prompts led to my most original plots yet.

Tell me what changed when you stopped skipping them. Was there a specific weird prompt that broke everything open for you, like "write a heist where the thieves are stealing a smell" or something totally off the wall? I wanna know the moment you realized the oddball idea was actually gold.

Stopped judging prompts as good or bad first. Just wrote whatever came to mind, even if it seemed pointless. The one about a city where rain fell upwards made me rethink basic physics in my stories. That's when I knew the weird ideas were worth keeping.

Harper668's upward rain city changed my mind on weird prompts.
