002 // Are Creative Writing Prompts Useless? How Someone Else’s Writing Idea Turned Into an Income-Producing Fantasy Series

Once upon a time, I never bothered with creative writing prompts.  I didn’t see the point.  Why use someone else’s story idea to prompt my own writing when I have plenty story ideas of my own? Then one friend relentlessly prompted me to write a story about dragons.  Another countered his attacks by prompting me to write a story about cops.   In an effort to get them to leave me alone and let me choose the topics of my own stories, I did what I had never done before: I used their prompts to write one short story I entitled “Cops, Robbers…and Dragons?” Tune in to hear the story and decide for yourself if creative writing prompts are useless.   Get Your Free DK Drake Starter Library here: https://authordkdrake.com/ Snag one or all of the Dragon Stalker books here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FK5V1HJ Join the Help!
