Interesting! I didn't think of that.

As a creator of poetry and prose poem prompts, I sometimes see writers sketching out amazing “first ideas” in the comments section of prompts. I watch, feeling the scenario’s familiarity, wishing I could intervene. I encourage them in a comment to go flesh it out tout de suite. Sure enough, it’s often those writers that don’t end up submitting a prompt response. Meanwhile, the writers who say little about what they’re “going to write” submit completed pieces.
