Hot take: I had to pick between a prompt about a talking cat or a haunted library for my writing group.

I went with the haunted library, but the story got stuck on describing dusty shelves for three pages... it just felt flat. How do you pick a prompt that actually gets a story moving?

What made you pick the haunted library over the cat? Was there a specific idea you were excited about?

Oh come on, the cat is way more practical than some dusty old books.

Honestly, is the choice that deep?
