I tried this exercise 2 years ago in which I found a list of 365 prompts online and tried writing them. The idea on the site was that you would do one per day of the year. But my writing bug was really itching and I had no creative writing classes at the time, so I wrote lots each day, and out of order at that.
I think I got to about half, give or take. It just felt like too much. I still have them, though: maybe I shall continue them.
