writing

I joined Beehaw specifically hoping to get in on the ground floor of the growing writing community here, but I have to admit I haven’t had much to say....

This is the fourth NaNo event I’ve participated in and my fourth win. I set my goal at 25k words, so just half a real NaNo, but more focused on an area of my writing that I’m severely lacking. The month has helped improve it a bit so that’s been nice. Also pretty happy that I finished a week ahead of time. Maybe for next...

I hope it’s okay to share this here. I originally wrote the story in German but unfortunately it’s nearly impossible to get humorous stories published in German literary magazines, so I translated it into English and sent it to various magazines....

I have a podcast called Entrepreneur’s Enigma. I know that I have a book in me by the same title talking about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship....

Its maybe a silly question, but I've started a personal blog and I'm really enjoying writing posts for it. Does blog writing fall under the definition of writing for this community?

Was curious to see what tools everyone uses for both writing and storage....

Hi! I’ve been writing a scifi-action-comedy starring a queer dog-man bounty hunter. I’ve posted a link to the first chapter, I have a few more chapters as well as some other short fiction up on my blog. Don’t be fooled by the first paragraph, it is not actually a poorly written erotic thriller about mermen. Check it out! I...

Her presence...

Welcome to the first (unofficial) Bad Writing Prompt day of the Beehaw Writing instance!...

This is my work; I am also looking for constructive criticism.

I’m unsure of how many people are explicitly aware of the Bulwer-Lytton contest, but the general idea is people submit introductory one-liner sentences that are meant to be written as poorly as possible, with awards given to the best worst submissions in any year....

I've uploaded the forward and first short! I'm very excited. I've had this horror fantasy post apocalyptic tale rattling in my brain for decades now. Finally decided to put it to paper. Inspirations for all over the place particularly Stephen King and DOOM (games). Thanks for taking the time to check it out

A real masterclass in analogies.

Based on this prompt: Once every year, you have the power to swap minds with someone. However, there’s a catch: the target is completely random, and the swap lasts for only one minute...

For fun, I wanted to set a scene based entirely from a diary entry. I wrote this to the prompt of “Moon”. Now I think it might be fun to tell a whole story this way, but I don’t know that I’ll do that....

We recently created a very tiny book on philosophy, possibly the smallest of its kind....

In the year 2120, humanity had transcended the fleshly confines of physical existence, shifting its collective consciousness into a boundless virtual cosmos. A parade of satellites and starships, countless as the stars themselves, were dispatched into the vast, inky expanse of the universe. These celestial vessels heralded a new...

Hello,...

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...

Cw: suicide, suicidal ideation...

Someone had to start the discussion in this new community, so I figured I'd give it a shot!...

This essay by Jeremy B. Jones was originally published in The Bitter Southerner on June 6, 2023

Tried playing a bit with changing POV's and ambiguity on flash fiction, not sure on the result though....

I've written a few silly things that I've already published on my blog. Will it be okay to share the link to the published post here or should I copy-paste the content here? Any ideas or advises?

Do you set aside a time each day to write? Do you write five pages stream of consciousness then trim it down into something that makes sense? Are you a planner? Do you write in a notebook? Do you write once, edit once? write twice, edit once? Write once, edit thrice?...
