Answer:
Some people, for one reason or another,
come-down with writer's block. It means
a person can't come-up with writing ideas.
A writing prompt is used, for example.
A writing prompt is a technique, word(s)
association, to ignite your creative process.
It's for the times you're at a loss for words.
Writing prompts are quotes, words from
childhood, a statement that keeps
popping up in mind.
For me it can help me improve my writing as well as check for any spelling errors as well as grammar mistakes.
