Anyone have any specific prompts they like working with for starting short stories/essays?

i started a new story recently and to get inspiration for my characters i put Spotify on shuffle and created a character based on the song! that works well for character development but i bet it would work for a short story plot as well if you pick a more storytelling song. idk hope this helps!
That's a really cool idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
Not so much for starting a story but a similar thing I use to motivate myself to write that this reminded me of is I make playlists for the stories I'm writing! I find listening to the playlist while I write really puts me in the mood. I also make pinterest boards for my stories too :)
ooh yes!! i love doing that as well haha and i also make phone/laptop wallpapers for my characters on canva!
Ohhh that's a cool idea!
Ooh, me too! I love making soundtracks that would go go with the movie versions of my stories
omg yesss do you ever do the thing where its like ugggggggggh this would be so much better if it was a movie but i cant make it a movie
Yes!!!! It’s also like daydreaming that one day it WILL be a novel turned into a movie
yes!! and like a good movie adaptation which never happens
Seriously! Though I do really love the To All the Boys I’ve Lived Before movies
hmm I've never watched those!! good to know
I love those movies! I wish I could say the same for The Summer I Turned Pretty by the same author, I find the books much better
