Anti-Prompt Prompt

Started back into writing 750 words a day when I wake up. The tasks I do after writing are noticably different. Better commenting, less on my mind, and hands are warmed up.

BUT I have used a writing prompt two days in a row and I've fallen into the same pattern both days.

  1. A large chunk of junk that sounds like I am writing ad copy that doesn't sound like me.
  2. A section of me complaining that I used a writing prompt.
  3. A section of gibberish free writing that makes no sense.
  4. Then out of  the gibberish some idea I like crawls out of the slime and I start getting stoked to keep writing.

I need to make a writing prompt that tells me to stop using a writing prompt and just write some noise.
