There was an interesting exercise for overcoming writer’s block somewhere, which said to pick a word, any word at random. After you did that, you were told to write a sentence which included that word. After that, a paragraph which included that sentence.
This reminds me of vocabulary homework where I had to write a sentence using each vocabulary word. I couldn’t do it. We would get extra credit if we also included one of the extra credit vocabulary words. That I could do.

It felt surprisingly effective.
