Do you enjoy writing from prompts, or are you more of a freelancer?
Writing prompts are great, but I find I often have to use a whole new set of characters for them. So yeah, I like either - prompts for when I'm stuck and need to get something out. (like today, where was your prompt when I needed it like an hour ago. XD) but I like writing freelance with my own characters.

also Ranger you need to do something to your signature, it's been a wip for months. XD

Can one freelance prompts? I've done literally hundreds of prompts and sometimes everything slips together just right and sometimes... I bend the prompt rather than bend the characters.
(But then again, I have an enormous cast to pick from)

I join a while ago, but never got around to post on here, so I thought I'd join the conversation^^

Honestly, I'm more of a freelancer. I prefer writing stories from scratch, although writing from prompts is helpful if I'm stuck on ideas or characters xD

Do you enjoy writing from prompts, or are you more of a freelancer?

Depends what kind of prompts.

I like prompts like "Write a poem in reaction to another text" or "Write a poem about a personal experience in the third person" because they are both very general (leaving many options open for me to choose from) and help me think outside the box (before I got these prompts, I almost never wrote things like that, so it broadened my frame of ideas). I also enjoy the kind where you write down a list of 10 characters and then you get a list of prompts and questions that have random characters interact in random ways. These two kinds of prompts are my favorites, but another kind I sometimes like are the ones with just one word: this can work or not work depending on your inspiration.

Prompts that provide me with a plot starting point, a quote, or a picture usually don't inspire me much. I'm sure they're helpful and inspiring for other people, though. Also, it depends on the plot, quote or picture: there are always some that are more inspiring than others.

I love prompts so much! I'm best with word or sentence prompts.







If a critique/help request pops up I'll do it but I can't see any recent ones so...

Does anyone have some pointers for songwriting? If it helps, I'm thinking of those songs that make you feel like you could take on seven armies at once. Upbeat and lively, but not necessarily feel-good, if you know what I mean? I really like singing and I've been thinking of writing my own songs for a while but I don't know where to start!

I'd say I'm defintely more of a freelancer -
Usually the only reason for me to write a story is when I get a good plot/idea, I don't just go like, "heyy, I'm bored maybe I should write a story.. what should I write it about?". The thougt just pops up at the most inappropriate times xD

I can still write with prompts if I have literally zero imagination at that time, but yeah, I'd definitely consider myself as more of a freelancer c:

I have no idea... Maybe you could find as many songs as you can that induce that feeling, and see if they have anything in common? Pinpoint what it is, exactly, that makes you feel that way? I have no idea if it will work tbh. Good luck!

I enjoy writing both ways. You see, whenever I find myself trapped by a writing/creativity block, I tend to use more prompts. However, if everything is normal prefer to write whatever comes to my mind and make it blossom into a story.
