Are writing prompts a useful exercise, or do you find them to be too limiting and/or hokey?

I personally find them very engaging, well the WordPress community is great and daily prompts & challenges from the daily post are really good. So far, since I’ve started sine the first of January this year, I’ve been able to blog every single day (give or take), be it simply an image, few lines or a 2000 word long post. I love this community for the same, for helping me feel alive, even for a little bit. 🙂
