Re: Kind of inspired by #2 - creativity question

[(Anonymous)]

One of the things that usually help me is looking up prompt lists on pinterest.
But instead of giving myself the restriction of actually completing the whole list, I get a pen and paper to write/doodle ideas from each prompt.

Like for fandom inspiration, lets say for a ship; I might find a Halloween 30 prompt list and reimagine AUs where that ship might meet involving ghosts (A has wandered into a haunted house and meets B who is the ghost) or werewolves (A might gets bitten by B and keep running into each other afterwards during the full moon).

Or for something more original like using one of those sentence prompts and imagining who would say it and for what reason ("It should have been me" - Character A witnesses a friend get cursed by an item they almost picked up first).

Also, the advice that has helped me is to write 'stupid' for a bit - as in write a bit with zero intention of it being actually good/productive. It can be something dumb or silly or whatever comes out, but either put yourself under a timer (maybe to write for 15 minutes), or however long you want to do it for.
I've ended up with a notebook that's essentially full of the most cringey convoluted, never-ending Y/N fanfiction with several encounters with favorite characters under melodramatic situations. Whenever I've gotten stuck with my other works, that's where I sometimes write for a while without worrying if its good or not because its specifically for me.

I like the idea of browsing prompt lists and doodling ideas as you read them. No pressure for full thoughts or plots and it keeps you in the moment while also letting you keep scrolling.

I read about a similar thing to your last one - someone said they play a game called "100 Bad Ideas" and try to come up with the worst ideas they can, be it poetry or fiction or whatever. There's a lot less pressure than compared to trying to come up with 'good' ideas.
