Pro tip: that spiral notebook in my truck cab has better prompts than any app, and I found it at a Pilot station off I-80
Stopped for diesel outside Cheyenne and the clerk had a bin of mismatched notebooks for a dollar. Grabbed one, started writing a prompt a day in the parking lot while the pumps ran. Here is the split: half of writers say a prompt should be tight, one line, no wiggle room. The other half say a loose prompt gives you room to find the real story. I landed somewhere in the middle, two sentences max, but I want to hear from folks who write daily. Do you like your prompts locked down or wide open?
