A writing prompt is a starting point, not a destination. The sentence the generator produces gives you a subject, an action and a direction. Where you go from there is entirely yours.
Use the generated sentence as the literal first line. Write the second sentence, then the third. Do not plan for at least ten minutes.
Before opening your current project, generate one prompt and write from it for ten minutes. Its purpose is to activate the writing part of your brain.
Use Custom Word Injection to force a significant word from your current project into every generated prompt. The constraint often creates the useful angle.
