>>979I think getting even half done despite irl is still committing, so long as you aren't dropping it's consistent practice. I on the other hand haven't gotten started writing anything and it's already Thursday. I've typed up plans for fics in two different fandoms but not gotten on with the writing! This is just returning to old habits for me. Maybe I should look up general creative writing activities and just bend them to be fandom related like back in school.
Thanks! I'm glad I remembered Korea has their own word for karaoke booths, it adds a bit more convincing flavor to my bullshitting, haha.
>Do you think that this is something that can be overcome with practice or just an inherent issue/facet of the format?It's definitely a habit of my own in writing to begin with. Before reading the prompt lists I had a browse of other people's one sentence challenges, and I think the most competent ones know not to push something too far. One skill in writing is accepting that you have to cut the fat and keep some things simple. The flow of a sentence and the pace people discover information relies on punctuation and structure, and sometimes run on sentences are like catapulting forty ragdolls into a wall. It's a mess. As an exercise it's good for calling yourself out on that. However I did find writing stupidly long ones made passive/active voice more obvious as you try to rearrange words, and I'm terrible for timid writing.
Now I need to go try and match the length of my posts in prose.
