Shoutout to the prompt that saved my writing slump
I was pretty skeptical about those "write a scene using only dialogue" prompts. Thought they'd just end up as gimmicky messes. But last Tuesday I took one seriously and ended up with a 2,000 word short story that actually worked. It forced me to stop relying on descriptions to carry the story. Has anyone else found a prompt type that surprised them?

I see what you mean about prompts being useful, but I actually think dialogue-only prompts can make you lean too hard on unnatural chitchat instead of building real tension. Did you find it made your dialogue feel more forced or more natural?
