if it comes to prompts you can be creative, there's no need to discuss the word if you mention it, it's enough. I rarely write about the prompt because about 70 percent of the time I have no idea what it means. For years I have used prompts and better not ask how many times I searched in dictionaries what exactly is meant by the word. Now I write what I like to write about and that's it. Well, sort of it... at a certain point I leave that prompt behind or add it later if I don't forget. I forgot once or twice but then I don't mention I used it. Also if it comes to a prompt there's no need to write about it specifically if you use it for a title and blah blah around it. Free writing I use to empty my head and nothing else. It's not important if I use the prompt, although I like to puzzle it in the text.

I'm sorry to hear about your burnout. Just write and let go of whatever you wrote before. It's not important.
