Spent 4 days building a prompt generator, turns out my problem was simpler

I kept hitting the same wall with writing prompts. Every prompt I made felt like a twist on the same 3 ideas. So I built this spreadsheet system with random character flaws, settings, and conflicts. Took me 4 days of tinkering. Then I realized the real issue was I was overcomplicating the first line. The generator helped, but what fixed it was just asking "what does this character want more than anything and what's in the way?" for every prompt. Anyone else wasted time on elaborate tools when a single question did the job?
