Honestly, all that prep seems overkill for just gluing tiny parts together.

Tbh my coordination fails me too. My yoga mat slid right out during a video call once, left me on the floor.

Ugh, tell me about it. I was reading this article about how much of the early web is just gone forever, like the old GeoCities stuff. It's crazy how links just die after a few years. Even big archive projects can't catch everything, and it really does feel like sifting through trash sometimes. Makes you sad for all the dumb little websites we're losing.

My first year trying prompts, I filled three notebooks with stories that all read like bad writing class homework. What finally worked was picking a prompt but then writing the exact opposite of what it suggested, or only using the first sentence it sparked before going off on my own. It tricks your brain into starting without letting the prompt steer the whole ship. The goal is to use the prompt to ignite your own idea, not to follow its instructions.
