Prompt: Writing Prompts

Is it easier for you to answer a writing prompt than come up with something on your own? And do you think writing prompts are helpful to you, and if you do, which kinds of writing prompts do you look for?

Yes, it's easier to write to a prompt than without. I like prompts which make me think about what my opinions are on a subject. I also like those which make me think originally, something like a quote for a short story or a character prompt. "What a Character," for instance.
The thing with me though, for the WdC official writing contests for example, is I enjoy having time to think for a week or two before I begin to write.
At my local writing group if there's time after everyone who has writing to share has finished, we do a writing exercise. Some of the group are in their element and write beautiful, descriptive and original pieces without any trouble it seems, whilst I struggle to think of anything worthwhile. That's because I need time. We are all different I suppose in the way we approach our writing.
