Yeah, getting ideas to the length they need to be is challenging. I've still never written anything novel-length myself, but I've written some longer works. Here's an old post that helped me!

On r/WritingPrompts only mods can set user flairs. I was asking if you'd like me to set yours for you 🙂

> I think this whole theme came from me writing a story in response to a comment that said: "Anything can be a prompt if you're creating enough."
I love that!

Aww, that's great!

Do you always make new characters or ever try to reuse them across prompts?
