My 12 year old nephew gave me a one word prompt that broke my writer's block
I was stuck on the same opening line for 3 weeks when he walked by and said "write about a bad sandwich," and I cranked out 900 words in one sitting, so now I'm wondering what weird constraints actually get other people unstuck.

My buddy Dan got past a 6 month dry spell by making himself write the whole thing as a text to his mom. Something about the format just unlocked it, he said it was the bad grammar and not caring if it made sense.

Man, that dry spell feeling is the worst, been there way too many times. Dan's trick is wild but honestly whatever gets the words out is a win.
