Weekly Prompts?

[xandavar]

Hey everyone, admins, members, boys, girls, women, men, people.... >.> off track. Um, my friend and I were having a discussion about creative writing, she used to go to it, but doesn't anymore. Anyways, we were talking about how short the time is for the prompts you guys give us. I hate to complain, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't do their best in 5-10 minutes when writing something. I'm not trying to insult Madam Dictator or anyone else, but my friend and I came to a conclusion. We though it'd be a pretty cool idea if you guys gave the regular prompts you already have us doing, then you could give us weekly prompts. For example, you give the club the usual few prompts that they work on during the club time for a bit, then we read them aloud. However, before the club ends for the day, you could give one or two prompts to work on until the next club meeting. By doing this, you'd provide us a fairly good amount of time to work on it, allowing us to reach an even better potential than the usual 5-10 minutes.

Once again, I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining, I just wanted to throw out this idea and see what you all thought of it. Please leave your comments, smart remarks(Tim), and so on so forth.

Thanks for your time ^-^

Good idea but this is my take on the topic.

-The weekly prompts aren't meant to be your best work, merely stating this fact; they're designed to make you think
-Recently two prompts have been up on the board so one of these can be taken as your weekly prompt if you so choose

I shall address this idea more at the meeting; it's actually been mentioned before and we did it for a while.

I understand where you're coming from on your first concern, however, some of us(including myself) aren't fast writers and don't do very well under pressure. It's not like we're gonna go into a mental break down or anything, but it would still give people the extra time to do their work. That's why I suggested adding it into the club, not replacing the prompts we already have. I think it is a good idea trying make a person think quickly, but I think it would help people if they were given "long term projects". In journalism, I'm sure you're made to think quickly, take action, and write super fast. When writing a novel, it takes time to process a certain idea into descriptive words.

I've got a solution for you!
If you can't think of anything to write about on your own, flip through this Random Plot Generator until you find something interesting to write about. And then you can write as much as you want, for as long as you want, about whatever you want, then post your work here. If you'd like, you can even make a thread of your own about it where people can post what the generator gave them and what that inspired them to write.
