I'm a bit of both. Sometimes something is important to me and this is my prompt, but most of the time it is the unexpected that catches my eye or mind and triggers a prompt...and as Leanne said this can be anything. For me i tend to over think things so I am currently trying to adress this with more free writing projects. One of the most helpful things I did recently was to try my hand at the surreal exercises in the poetry practice threads. It yielded surprising results in terms of the images that came out of seemingly nowhere.
