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...

Do whatever you please, it can be bad or good. But being bad is also, yes, the point. Your shitty writing is not only welcome, it's also the guest of honour and I'm kissing it on its lips.

Yeah. When you write you end up having to prove to yourself that you're a good writer. It's sort of an ego thing, and when you make something bad you sorta worry that it will reflect poorly on you.

I don't expect anything to ever fully cut through that anxiety. But providing a space to be "bad" in is something valuable.

Genuinely. If you're not comfortable posting your writing, I'd still be more than delighted to send some activities, fuck it, I'll post one now that I stole from Zoe Bee. It's where you take the meaning of a sentence and try to write it's inverse. So, like, "The dog was sleeping on the ground" becomes "The cat was awake in the roof" or what have you. Ofc it works better with more complex sentences but yeah.

Sorry, got taken away there. Prone to tangents. But yes. You don't have to post something complete if you can't manage it. And you sure as hell don't have to post something good. This is, after all, a silly little forum post.

I'm glad!! It's a quiet place here, so every voice really counts, and posting when you can is really the best thing you can do for a small community like this :)

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.

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.
