I'm not sure how many of you reading this thread know me, or even if you know of me, but that's alright. For the briefest introduction, I'm NewClassic, and I enjoy writing. I had a New Years resolution to start writing more frequently. I tried doing a daily writing thing, and dropped the ball pretty badly. I wasn't happy with that, so I tried to pick it up and work on it more.
And dropped the ball again.
So, I've decided it's been long enough that I was just procrastinating, and I should try again. (EDIT: Daily didn't work out, but bear with me.) After reading some tips on writing, which I'm always happy to ingest at break-neck speed, it recommended that I write more often. It also suggested I write with wider varieties, read more varied material, and learn and practice in ways I never thought I would do. So, in short, I need to practice more and differently than I usually do. Here's where you come in.
I'd like to ask readers, or any who wants to see an idea explored, to submit ideas that I could work on. Ideally, it's going to be mostly fiction work of nearly every genre. I'd like to also do non-fiction, novella style projects, really short-form media, poetry, and anything else normally out of my comfort zone. (Despite not really being "daily," I'm still doing this. Your ideas are, as always, super helpful. Thank you all so much.)
I feel it's egotistical to assume people want me to work on their ideas, but I genuinely feel like I couldn't do this on my own and achieve the same results, if I even could at all. So what I'm mostly asking for is help.
And since I'd rather not go into this completely blind, I'm going to offer you folks a piece of fiction I'm doing for Day 1. The idea was given to me by Sevre, specifically "write about a serial killer who got away with it, but has to live with the guilt."
So, ideally, I'd like to continue doing stories like these, from prompts both in and out of my comfort zone. The less say I have in things, the better.
So, I'd like to open up this thread to discussion about narrative theory in general, or what your opinion is on the daily writing thing. Or things you liked/disliked about the piece for day one.
Appreciate your time, and if you're interesting in sending me ideas, feel free to PM me for an e-mail address to use. Thank you all very much.
Warmest regards,
Nuke

Warning you again, here. It's pretty violent. If that's not your thing, or you're bother by blood, feel free to skip it.
