Traded a detailed character prompt for a simple setting prompt and got better stories
I used to write these long two paragraph prompts with backstories for every character. Last week I tried one that just said 'abandoned library with a single glowing book on the floor'. My writing group cranked out 8 different stories from that one prompt, all totally different. The character ones usually get like 2 or 3 responses. Has anyone else found that simpler prompts lead to more creative results?

Nah, simple prompts leave more room for the story to breathe.
