it's not just that the question suggests a long answer, but it is that i like writing and i have a story to tell, so i want to tell that story. i would not even want to write a short answer because i already know what the short answer would be, and it's not very interesting so there is no point to even bother to write it down.

what i am trying to say is that, for me at least, the prompt itself would have to limit the scope to today or maybe this week. (but then i would not be able to write anything for this particular prompt)

maybe prompts like: what made you happy this week? what made you sad? what was a challenge you faced this week?

if you come up with a dozen questions like that, and then randomly rotate through those, one each day, i think that might produce interesting results.
