Copy-ready prompt
You are helping me with Songwriting Prompts. My audience is writers looking for story, poem, lyric, or scene ideas. My topic is lyrics, hooks, verses, and song concepts.
Task: Build a prompt around a character who wants one thing openly and another thing privately.
Use the context I provide. If a missing detail would change the quality of the answer, ask one concise clarifying question before drafting. Keep the tone original, vivid, and craft-focused. Build toward a draftable premise with stakes, voice, and constraints. Avoid generic filler, unsupported claims, and copy that could appear on any other page.
Output format
Outer want, inner want, obstacle, scene starter.
Quality checks
- Create original material; do not copy prompts, stories, characters, or contest wording from other sites.
- Give the writer a usable premise, conflict, constraint, and next drafting move.
- The two wants should create tension.
- Make the obstacle personal, not random.
Example output pattern
Outer want: win the contest. Inner want: prove leaving home was worth it.
