Hello on Wednesday!  The week is half over already!  What kind of a writing day has it been today -- or yesterday, if today hasn't gotten going yet?
  •     I thought about my fic once or twice
  •     I wrote
  •     I did some planning and/or research
  •     I edited
  •     I've sent my fic off to my beta
  •     I posted today!
  •     I'm taking a break
  •     I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment
Discussion - When writing from a prompt, how do you go from the prompt to the story? Is it easier or harder to write from a provided prompt than writing from an idea that came out of your own head?

I wrote (and posted), and I'm planning the next foray. Got at least two stories I've got to do tomorrow, so I'm doing a little prep work to get a head start on that. So far, doing pretty well on my challenges.

Prompts! I love prompts! ... Hell, that's how I do most of my writing, any more. If I've selected a prompt, that means the kernel of a story is already there in my head, so I just roll with that. If I don't feel anything for it, I don't pick it up in the first place.

(Not that I don't write from my own ideas. I do. However, I take prompts far more often, since it means I'm writing something that I know has an audience of at least one. ... A bit selfish, perhaps, but at least it's still in a fandom I know and can write.)
