I remember someone making that mistake last time.

With the blurbs does the story need to start at the point blurb ends? For example in mine would my story start when he checks his phone?

And here I was thinking the only flaw in that prompt was that it might have restrained people into one idea too much.

That's not how blurbs work.

You just write the story that the blurb is describing. You start it wherever you think is best to tell that story.

James says it's not a heist prompt, it's a con prompt.
