## What makes a prompt useful
A good creative prompt is **specific and open at the same time** — it gives a concrete situation but leaves the interesting decisions to the person using it.
Bad: "Write about loss." Too open to start from.
Bad: "Write about a woman named Sarah who loses her cat on a Tuesday and learns about grief." Too closed; the story is already written.
Good: "Someone is dismantling a piece of furniture they built with a person who is gone."
## Generate
Fifteen prompts about , spanning:
- A specific situation with an unresolved tension
- An unusual constraint or point of view
- A concrete object doing emotional work
- A moment mid-action, with the context withheld
- A question rather than a scenario
## Then
Mark the three you think are strongest and say what makes each work. Be honest if some are weaker — a list where every item is claimed to be excellent is less useful than an honest ranking.
