Welcome to the Shield, where the prompts act as protection, allowing writers to be bolder in their approaches while still having a premise to fall back on. The Shield guards the author from the onslaught of writer’s block, protecting their minds while prompting their words. Here is where the author’s ability to think out of the narrow confines of their helm is truly tested, as they are asked to interpret highly abstract prompts, producing strange and innovative works in the process.
