I still reach for my dog-eared prompt journal over any app today

I get why everyone loves those huge online prompt databases now, but I have to push back. Back in high school, my creative writing class had this single, battered paperback full of prompts. The pages were yellowed, and someone had scribbled ideas in the margins. It felt like holding a piece of history. Today, I scroll through endless digital lists that all blur together. They're efficient, sure, but they don't inspire the same connection. For me, creativity comes from that physical, imperfect touch. So I'll keep my old journal on the desk, even if it's not the popular choice.
