My worst writing week ever started with a prompt about a talking mailbox

Last Tuesday, I tried a prompt from a site called PromptCraft about a mailbox that gives bad life advice. I wrote three pages of junk and then my laptop crashed, losing everything. I spent the next four days just staring at a blank screen, unable to write a single good sentence. Has a bad prompt ever completely wrecked your creative flow like that?

Ugh, my own ideas are the worst prompts.

Switched to pen and paper for a week.

Yeah @sullivan.elliot I just wrote random nonsense for 10 minutes and it worked.
