That dusty little bookstore on Elm Street had a shelf labeled 'prompts you never knew you needed'
I walked in on a whim last Saturday and there were 40 handwritten index cards tucked into old books, each one a weird scenario like 'write about a vending machine that only takes apologies.' Has anyone else stumbled on something like that in an unexpected place?

Man, I gotta push back on that a little. I found a similar thing at a used bookstore in Portland, a whole box of index cards under a leaky pipe, and the one I pulled was 'write a letter to the person you were five years ago.' I tried to do it in the margins of the book I bought, but it just didn't hit the same. The whole point for me is having that separate card, you know, something you can tuck away or pass on to someone else. Writing in the margins feels permanent and messy, but a card feels like a little secret mission.
