Does anyone else enjoy writing prompts to get their creative juices flowing?

I think they can be a lot of fun. I subscribe to Reedsy, which sends you a weekly prompt list by email. And they hold weekly contests so if you submit your prompt response you have a chance to win $50 and be published in their magazine.

You can find prompt apps for your phone, too! I've tried a few but didn't find one I really liked. My favorite was very repetitive because it didn't have much of a prompt bank but the interface was nice.

I have dozens of prompt books, too. "Writers' Book of Matches" is a neat one. The prompts are unique, but they're so detailed they're basically giving you a full plot so it's hard to think outside of the box. Some prompt books are picture/photo books, too, not just text!
