Generate writing prompts tailored to me. Genres I enjoy: [GENRES]. Length I want to write: [LENGTH]. Things I find hard: [DIFFICULTIES]. Time per session: [TIME]. Produce twenty prompts in four groups of five: character-led, setting-led, constraint-led (for example, a story told only in letters or in one location), and 'what if' premises. Each prompt should be under 40 words and include a hidden constraint that adds interest. Rank them by difficulty. For three of them add a micro-plan of three beats. Avoid clichés such as the chosen one and the dream ending. End with a method to choose a prompt: roll a die, write for 10 minutes, then decide whether to continue. Add a seven-day practice schedule that pairs a prompt with a short time limit and a different focus each day, such as dialogue or sensory detail. Provide a reflection question to answer after each session and a rule for keeping the work, even when it is weak, in a folder reviewed once a month for ideas worth developing.
