Squidge started the topic The joy of prompts in the forum Blogs 7 years, 11 months ago
Had a great night at NIBS this week, our little creative writing group in Nanpantan. As I am Chief Prompt Finder, it got me thinking about what I prefer to use and why – and what kind of prompts work best in group settings.
