I finally gave in and tried that writing prompt app my friend kept pushing

My buddy Mark has been telling me for 6 months to try this app called Word Forge. I figured it was just another gimmick like the ones you see on TikTok. Last Tuesday I was stuck on a prompt about a haunted laundromat and downloaded it out of boredom. The app gave me three weird character traits to include, like 'afraid of quarters' and 'can only talk in rhymes'. I ended up writing 2,000 words in an hour and actually finished the story. Has anyone else had a random tool surprise them like that?

Heard a writer on a podcast say tools like that can unlock your brain.

King.aaron's podcast friend must have unlocked my procrastination brain because now I can't stop generating weird prompts about sentient vending machines. My draft folder is filing a restraining order.
