The writing prompt app I mocked for 6 months finally got me out of a rut
Last Tuesday I was staring at a blank page for an hour, so I opened that app everyone keeps raving about and typed in 'a barber who only cuts hair at midnight'. Thirty minutes later I had 1,200 words and I actually felt something again. Has anyone else had a tool they hated turn out to be the thing that saved them?

You got lucky with that one prompt, but the app is probably not what did it. The real trick is that you gave yourself a weird enough idea that your brain stopped worrying about being good and just started playing. I had a similar thing happen with a random word generator I used to trash talk. Stuck a few random words together, got a stupid story about a lighthouse keeper who collects teeth, and wrote more that night than I had in weeks. The app is just a tool, but the moment you stop trying to be serious about it, that is when the words come out. Keep using it, but don't give it all the credit.
