Look up good habits for authors, and you will see something like "write every day." Conventional wisdom from instructors to established authors is 500 words daily for beginners and 1,000 words for the more advanced. That can be daunting, particularly if you don't have anything in mind to write about. Enter the daily prompts.
I found a nice little app that provides daily prompts when I am not working on a project (or just taking a break from it). I don't edit the prompts since they are designed to be fun exercises, but I like the results. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

I also look for challenges. I am notoriously bad about needing a goal to motivate myself. I found one on my habit gamification app. The goal was to write a short story in a week. I had much success!
The story is called "One Choice" and asks whether you want to change your past or future. It still needs some editing (and feedback), but I hope you like it.
