Rolled my eyes at those 'writing prompts with constraints' challenges for a year

Finally tried one last night where every sentence had to start with a different letter of the alphabet. Wrote 800 words in 45 minutes, which is 3x faster than my normal pace. Has anyone else had a gimmick actually fix their writer's block?

Dude same here! I tried the "first and last word rhyme" challenge and wrote a whole short story in one sitting. Normally I stare at a blank page for an hour before giving up. Something about the rules just tricks my brain into actually typing instead of overthinking.

It's like the rules shut off your inner critic...
