Ideas for creative writing block

Ggier
Ugh I have the worst writers block right now. Trying to come up with a short story for a contest but my brain is just empty. Anyone have any tricks or tools they use to spark creativity and get the words flowing again?

Totally been there. When I get stuck I sometimes use a Chat GPT tool to bounce ideas around. I'll give it a basic premise and see what kind of twists or character ideas it suggests. It's not about having it write for you, but it can really help jumpstart your own creativity when you're feeling stuck. I used one recently that you can find on this site https://pr-cy.io/chat-gpt/ . Might be worth a try to get unstuck.

I think it can be a useful tool for brainstorming if you use it right. The key is to use the suggestions as a starting point and then make them your own. It shouldn't replace your own creative voice, but it can help ignite it when you're feeling blank.
