Remember reading a blog post about this exact thing. The writer said they used "The phone rang" to start every single story for a year. It got to the point where their own spouse would groan when they heard it. Sometimes you just fall into a comfortable rut and need someone to shake you out of it. Good on your group for spotting the pattern.
