a good thing to do for me is to get up and do soemthing else like take a shower, listen to music, or even do th emost boring thing i can think of. all of these things get my head working and focusing on writing and making me inspired again.

Weekly question! Let's see how long I can keep this up. More of a consensus this time. Would you like me to come up with writing prompts as part of the weekly nonsense? They'll range from an actual prompt to more abstract things like 'describe a thing/place/etc from your WIP or just from your head that fits -this criteria-'.

ex. describe a character of yours like they're describing themselves. <-- you can answer this one if you want x)

You don't have to post a whole lot in response to a prompt, you don't even have to answer if if you don't want to. Just thought it'd be something else to try to boost activity here lol.

Anyhow, actual question.

Do you feel your writing has been shaped by your life experiences and travels?

And prompt, from example up top: Describe an OC of yours like they're describing themselves. (my wonderful 5-min example below lol)

---

I decided to 'interview' Light. :P

Hira: Why don't you introduce yourself?

Light: I'm Light Ragnarok. *pause* Obviously. You know, prince of Thrylos, harbinger of doom, Vision of the god of shadows... I could go on.

H: Please do. How would you describe yourself as a person?

L: I don't know. Average height, I guess? *another pause* Oh, you mean personality-wise. Well, I'm funny. And likeable and tough and generally pretty cool. I'd also say I'm patient, but Xerxes would probably disagree. Seeing as I successfully put up with him, my father, Zarya, Ezra, oh, and every single monologuing angel out there, i'm pretty patient.

H: ...What's your best quality?

L: My forearms.

H: Care to elaborate?

L: No.

*tape ends*

#1 yes i would like weekly prompts, i can see no downsides to this plan

#2, absolutely, all my work is inspired by the things i see and experience, and they add depth and emotions to my settings and characters that guess work could never achieve, at least for me.

#3 (this one is a question) am i supposed to be pinging you with my answers? because i have not been doing that ^^;

yay! because i entirely forgot the second prompt ^^;

zoe

to say i looked a bit out of sorts would be an understatment. there were large bags under my big, purple eyes now tainted with red. mypale skin looks even more so, having lost what little pigment it had from ym days out of the sun. my long black hair is tied up behind my head in a messy bun, top that off with an oversized and well worn purple hoodie and i look like a hot mess. at least Eli makes me coffee or else i would probably be dead right about now.

Ooh yes, mini writing prompts like that would be cool O.O

By the way, I haven't been keeping up this club because I haven't been super active on here aside from replying to things (and also because I've been really lazy, not gonna lie) :( Would you like to take it over or something? If not, we can continue this way, I just feel guilty because you've been doing most of the activity boosting on here and being rlly involved while I faceplant on my keyboard in the back x'D

Bahaha I don't mind. I'll just continue using this thread bc I'm too lazy to make a new one x) tbh I only really post on here when I'm procrastinating actually writing hehe. Our current arrangement is fine :D - and don't worry about the whole inactive thing, I've been unable to load images for the past 2 months because I'm in the middle of the mountains. So my activity? nonexistent. lol

so i guess hippity hoppity i'm renting your thread property

1. Sure! It'll help with writing!
2. I actually did this a while back with a few characters! I'll write another for the prompt once I finish lunch.
