The Creative Writing Corner

The Creative Writing Corner

"There is no greater power on this earth, than story," Libby Bray

Why hello there!

I've been discussing with @Jynx and @AuntGlow the fact that I used to write a lot as a child - pages and pages of imagination, and wonderous stories that I loved sharing with anyone that would listen at the time. I feel like I've lost that little spark of wonder and imagination. AuntGlow and Jynx have been encouraging me to explore writing again, to remove the perfectionism and judgement from it and look at it as a process, as a way to connect with younger me and the kind of vivid imagination that younger me had.

I know that we have some writers here, and some members who use writing as a way of expressing themselves, so I wanted to extend the same opportunity to the forum. I thought we could share a writing prompt each week, and members could write whatever comes up for them, whether it be poetry or prose. Members can share their writing, or just comment and let others know that they're joining in - whatever feels more comfortable. There's never any pressure to share. As a matter of safety and consideration for others, please make sure that the writing you do share, sticks to the forum guidelines.

Our first prompt to kick us off is....

Re: The Creative Writing Corner

Eep!! 🫣

Sorry @avant-garde I absolutely brain-blanked when trying to think of who to tag, hence calling in Shaz!

I have been thick with the brain fog tonight! Kicking myself a little... please tell me if you're feeling upset at all - I promise it's not personal, it's me being a frizzle frazzled little bean running myself silly tonight trying to get caught up on everything forums-land. But I will understand if your feelings have been hurt, and apologise for that.

Glad you're here now 💜

Playing with you, thought it was funny

Re: The Creative Writing Corner

I like to write old style, with pen and paper. Instead of rewriting it, I thought I'd just take a picture. I hope you can read it.

Re: The Creative Writing Corner

@NightFury i love it sweet, well done. Also love your writing. I wasn't able to participate in this one but I'm hoping one of them will spark my imagination and I'll be able to write something. I struggle with things like this though but I love being able to read others.
