I thought writing prompts should always be super detailed, then a 6 word prompt in a $2 notebook changed my mind
Last week I was killing time at a bookstore in Boise and found this cheap little notebook of 6 word story prompts for $2, and I rolled my eyes because I always figured more detail meant better writing. But I tried one that just said "lonely lighthouse keeper, last log entry" and cranked out 800 words in 20 minutes, way more than I ever manage with my usual paragraph long prompts. Has anyone else flipped on this, or do you still need the long setups to get going?

Why do people think more words equals better writing? A tiny prompt leaves room for your brain to actually fill in the blanks.
