Currently in love with all things fibre!
Trying to be the single crazy person bringing the unbridled fun of spinning yarn, crochet, and weaving to beehaw. I'm by no means an expert, just overwhelmingly passionate about all things wool. Toss questions my way, I'll do my best to answer. :)
#2 Weekly Bad Writing Prompts, Xx_The Worsening_xX
What's crackalacking! Yeah, I'm actually sticking to this, since it seems like a lot of people had a lot of fun with it last week, and I'm still having fun forcing my horrible ideas onto the unsuspecting populace of beehaw. And then you lot, entirely forgetting the point of all this take the bad ideas and actually make them entertaining! How could you?! I've actually become emotionally attached to Emo-Chan and her battle to defeat Hitler. Of the drama obsessed story teller food critic. Alice and her Woman Emotions. And, of course, the late entry of Timmy's Taco Tuesday Torment. (How could you miss the alliteration you MONSTER)
Jokes aside, I'm going to do things a bit differently this time. I've always found the traditional reddit writing prompt to be a bit too limiting, so I'll be trying to include some writing prompts that don't really follow the formula of "here's a story idea." To a greater extreme. Also, feel free to post your own prompts in the comments, I'll try to edit the
Welcome to 🔥FRUIT PLATTER THURSDAYS🔥
I make a fruit platter for work each week, decided I might as well start posting them here. Any thoughts for what fruit I should go with next week? I kinda just tossed this together, haha!
No worries at all mate, I'm just trying to keep communities active and happy, and posting "bad" writing is just a reason. The saying is to write everyday, not to write well everyday.
Posted! Feel free to take a look :)
#1 Weekly Bad Writing Prompts
Welcome to the first (unofficial) Bad Writing Prompt day of the Beehaw Writing instance!
I've been reading a bit on the instance, and I agree with the consensus that we're going to need something weekly to bring and keep a community together. So I'm doing my part!
Wait, what do you mean by bad writing prompts? Partially inspired by this post here.
“Don’t try to prove you’re a good writer, you’ll never write anything. Try to prove you’re a bad writer and you’ll write everything.”
So, here's my general idea. For now, I'll be posting 3 different things.
- Bad Character Ideas
- Bad Setting Ideas
- Bad Plot Ideas
For you to mix, match and use as you please! Again, I'm writing this off the cuff and with 20 minutes before work, so apologies for the short post, but without any more delay, here's what I got for you all!
Bad Character Ideas
- The disgruntled younger sibling of the "Chosen One"
- A food critic who actually suffers from no se
A weekly or even fortnightly writing group thread would be HUGELY good. Not only on an individual level, but also on a community level.
I'll echo the idea of "bad writing" being the goal. It's easy for everyone to get caught up in the big issue of "Is this good enough?" Vs "Am I having fun?"
I might actually make this my own weekly thing. Give me a bit and I'll make my own post on this.
My yarn skein that I just plyed
A 2 ply with this lovely merino blend I got. All my coworkers are asking me to make stuff now that I have proper spinning wheel. Anyone else here into spinning yarn?
While I'm on the subject, would anyone else be interested in a write up? I don't want the information to stay on Reddit. And while I'm VERY much not an expert, I can at least start posting resources for folk.
Fantastic essay. Slightly tangential, but honestly so many new constructions with housing are just so wasteful. Luxury apartments designed to stay empty while some investor on the other side of the country owns it and waits to sell to the next sucker in line. Office buildings with extravagant and wasteful lobbies, serving no purpose other than the vanity of the developers.
Of course, we need higher density. The world can't be split into the extravagance and waste of skyscrapers and the drudgery and repetition of the suburb sprawl.
As I type this, I'm sitting in the empty lobby of an office building. A giant corporate sculpture is hanging above the concierge desk. The empty space and high ceiling could easily fit dozens of apartments. Not even thinking about the resources spent
It's just... A lot, when you start looking at offices and skyscrapers through this lens.
