My brother said my best story idea sounded like a 'concrete pour schedule' and now I can't unsee it.

He was looking at my prompt about a character whose rigid daily routine is disrupted, and he just shrugged and said, 'It's got the same dramatic tension as watching my crew wait for a cement truck that's stuck in traffic.'

My friend Mila's right, but try adding a weird detail like a neighbor's parrot.

That's a hilarious way to kill an idea.

Just blurt out the first weird thing that pops in your head and see if it sticks. Half the fun is watching people's reactions.
