Szeth's Facepalm Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Alright! I can't be the only creative person-- musician, artist, writer, whatever-- who has some random specific thing that is their absolute favorite to create. For me it's any chord progression with the E7 chord on the ukulele, and drawing shirt collars and also that part at the end of sleeves where you're wearing something over a cuffed shirt and it's kind of folded over at the end. Uhhhh i didn't describe that right. Like this: Spoiler It's weird and specific but it's just so fun to draw!!! Also i really like drawing noses. Anyway... surely i'm not the only one with a weird specific like, right? What are y'alls favorite things to create? It may not be as weirdly specific as mine. Like maybe you're normal and really like drawing sunsets or writing limericks or playing Tchaikovsky! But anyway, please share your favorites. It's so cool seeing how creative everyone on here is :D 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edema Rue Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Okay this might be kinda weird...but I like to write sad scenes and then revise them until reading them makes me cry. That's probably not healthy. Whatever, it's fun. And musically, I like to go as high as I can. (I'm a violinist, so I can make people hurt when I go high. Not a good hurt. A "this is not music I have a migraine that will never leave me" hurt). Sorry, I'm a strange person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edema Rue Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 I keep telling myself to make a thread here and post some of the things I write, but then I just...don't? I probably will. Eventually. Maybe. If When I do, it'll probably be quite depressing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edema Rue Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 I'll be sure to tell you if when I make one, though I should warn you I'm really not that great a writer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Gregorio Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 I really enjoy writing the beginning to stories and then never really getting very far (or in some cases to the end). The beginning of a story is just kinda my thing right now. I'm not good enough to finish. I think that could be an everyone thing. I don't really draw, but I randomly scribble stuff and it sometimes turns out cool (that's how I doodle) and if I recognize something as a possible actual shape (like a dog or something) I can sometimes manage to actually draw something. I guess I might be pretty normal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There actually seem to be a lot of y'all here. remember that SU a while back where i kept saying how concerned i was for y'all because you loved torturing your characters so much? I'm pretty sure you were on it. Anyway it's cool to see how different everyone is because i have an allergic reaction to writing sadness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medium Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Writing music that elicits emotions of longing, nostalgia, sadness, or other similar emotions. Writing stories that elicit emotions of grief, pain, loss, reverence, nostalgia, and other similar emotions. Writing stories. Writing music. Writing. Drawing (occasionally but I'm bad so pretty much never) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beginning of a story is just kinda my thing right now. I'm not good enough to finish. I think that could be an everyone thing. Quick pro tip (can I still call it a pro tip if I'm only mildly good?) Quick mediocre tip that I'm enforcing upon myself: I'm ok at writing and I know the only way to get better is it do it. So I'm writing a book and even though I have had 3+ better book ideas and I am fumbling through every scene I know the best way to get better is just to do the thing. And once I finish the first book the second one will in theory be better. Sorry, I don't know if that helps. That is just something I've been thinking about. As for the actual prompt: Stories, writing crap. I like dumping ideas onto a page and question what the heck I am doing. Music. Whenever I can care enough to just go fiddle around on a piano and play cool songs I always love it. I'm pretty good but I'm not good enough to be *struggles* good good, so I don't really write songs or play as much as I probably should even though I quite enjoy it. I wish I had time. Probably other stuff. Other weird clever answers that only vaguely tie into the prompt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteInsanity Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 I like making little melodies for random things I say. I do it more when I'm alone but occasionally I'll just sing things rather than speak them. Then Bookwyrm gives me a weird look. When I'm around other people its just like a sentence but when I'm by myself I'll just sing everything for like 5-10 minutes. It's a lot of fun and I don't do it enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't have much time till I go on a mission so I won't be able to really finish any books, so for now I'm just writing for fun and learning and stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wittles Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Eyes. I like drawing eyes. They're hard and I'm honestly not that good at them (yet), but they are satisfying to get right 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sibling Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 I like when you draw a map and then add waves to the shorlines. It's so fun and while you're doing it it looks kinda bad but once you're done and you step back and look at the map as a whole it looks really good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koloss17 Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 I really like making music (I play four instruments thus far). There’s just something about not only consuming music, but also being able to contribute to the magic of a piece that is just so cool. Past that, I have recently been getting into poems, of which I have had a lot of fun reimagining Greek Myths in funky ways. Greek Mythology is such an awesome form of storytelling, and there is so much to explore! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
