Generate a Week of Daily Writing Prompts for a Specific Genre
You want to write every day but staring at a blank page kills the habit before it starts. This hands you a structured week of prompts, each doable in fifteen to twenty minutes and each working a specific skill in your chosen genre. So you build the practice without having to invent the exercise first. For writers wanting consistent practice.

<task>
**Create a structured week of prompts:**
1. Day 1: an opening scene with an unusual setting
2. Day 2: a character defined by one specific contradiction
3. Day 3: a scene with no dialogue, told through action and object
4. Day 4: a scene that starts mid-conflict with no backstory
5. Day 5: a character making a decision they cannot undo
6. Day 6: revisit Day 1 but from the perspective of a background character
7. Day 7: write the final scene of the story that Day 1 implies
**Edge cases:**
Tailor each prompt to conventions and expectations of {GENRE}. If {GENRE} is unclear, list three popular genres and offer a prompt set for one.
