feeling: really bored
listening to: Enigma - Return to Innocence
Did I mention my slump has returned full force? I think I did. Yeah, I did. Well, anyway, this means I have nothing to talk about here. No inspirations for any constructive forms of self-expression beyond the blog either. Wanted to write a short little fanfic or two, after reading some of Frank's fics that I've read before but that are just too cool, but had absolutely NO ideas what I could write about that I don't already have reserved for a big novel thing. Almost wanted to draw the other night, but didn't know WHAT to draw. Wanted to create some new Sims today, but couldn't think of names. Well, I have a couple possibilities for my next male Sim: either Auron or Juste. And guess what? Both of those are RPG character names. The story of my life. Actually though, Juste came about because for some reason I think a J name might suit him. I don't know.
Umm... I saw a writing challenge at a small forum I drop by on occasion... maybe I'll give it a stab here. I'd just leave a reply there, but... that topic hasn't been added to in months and I don't wanna bump it up XD;; The challenge is to write an entire story about anything in 55 words or less. X_X;; So let's seeeee... *ponderponder*
Ohhh, here we go~
===============
SCARED
She was so scared when we learned she was pregnant. Deathly scared. By the ninth month, though, she was as excited as any new mother could be. And when she held our son for the first time, she smiled the sweetest, proudest smile I'd ever seen.
The next moment, she was gone.
===============
Exactly 55 words, with the title ^^ By far not my best piece of... whatever... but I believe I've risen to the challenge. I hope it makes sense to someone besides me. X3 This was actually the basis of a longer-but-still-short story I wrote a long time ago, which I liked better than this, but I lost it in a reformat. Sigh. Maybe I'll do more of those in the future... I could use all the exercises I can find to ward off long-windedness. XP~
Anyway... hey, got a good writing challenge/exercise? One that doesn't require the challenged one to write more than, say, 5 pages? Run 'em by me. Maybe some more challenges would give me something to do and *grasps at straws* maybe even get my muse going again so I can write like I used to. And while I'm thinking of it, there was one other challenge at that forum too... it was to write a stream-of-consciousness kinda thing about a mega-obscure, incidental character from a game, show, movie, something of the sort. No word or subject limit, long as it has a character most people wouldn't remember and gives some insight into the workings of his/her mind. Maybe I'll give that one a shot sometime. Not now though. I watch TV starting in 5 minutes.
