The One Prompt That Actually Fixed My Writer's Block
Not 'write a blog post.' 'Write the worst version on purpose.'
Every 'help me write' prompt gave me polished nothing. The block stayed, now with extra text.
Then I asked for the worst possible draft, on purpose, no quality allowed. It complied happily.
A terrible draft I could react to beat a blank page I couldn't. I argued with it and the piece moved.
The trick was lowering the bar so low that starting cost nothing.
Writer's block is fear of bad output. Give yourself permission to be awful and the lock opens.
