I was picking out apples yesterday and overheard a couple arguing about cereal brands. It hit me that these tiny moments are PERFECT for building character backgrounds in stories. Do you guys ever use real-life food moments like this in your writing?
I wrote a funny page where the ghost was terrified of laundry day and it just clicked.
I got into the habit of using a different prompt each morning to kick off my writing session. It ended up making all my stories feel forced and samey, which totally killed my vibe. How do you guys use prompts without letting them take over your ideas?
