That's okay. I came up with four unfinished things (which makes a postage stamp), and so far eight I want to flesh out from notes (plus the free center for nine). So that's not bad. I'm surprised -- I thought I had more unfinished things. Maybe I'm doing better than I thought.

Use words. I suspect that some folks will want to do what I did, which is look up stuff that's not finished and put it on a card. Others might do better with prompts like "beginning without an end" or "abandoned plot tangle."

It might, but I've seen people use number prompts before -- some writers like them.
