Showerthought: I finally hit 30 days of daily writing after switching from random prompts to a single theme
I was using a different random prompt generator every day, but my stories felt all over the place. Last month I decided to stick with one theme, 'a detective agency run by ghosts in Savannah', and just write a new scene for it daily. Having that single world to build on made it way easier to keep momentum and actually finish a full story outline. Anyone else find that focusing on one big idea beats jumping between random prompts?

Honestly, random prompts keep my brain from getting bored.

Consider how you pick the scenes you write each day. Do you just follow the plot or do you plan them out to build the world more?

Hell yeah, that's the trick. Sticking to one world makes all the difference, you stop wasting energy on new setups every day.
