As is evident in the title, I am experiencing writer's block. What I need is a new direction to go in. I was wondering if it would be okay with the captain to set up a prompts & challenges section featuring challenging prompts and activities for writers. What do you think of this idea?

EDIT: THIS HAS BEEN SET UP IN THE 'FORUM FOR WRITERS AND WRITING CONTESTS' SECTION.

The idea seems good, I am not much of a writer but the idea sounds good. Tho only if people post on it. I had an idea a while back about giving a few points/thoughts that people would then have to have a story (well at least a good paragraph or two). How does that sound to you?

This sounds good. Sorry, I know you wrote that months ago but I haven't been online for about that long. I was thinking about something like that, and some more detailed prompts and activities in seperate forums. For example, I was thinking of setting up a forum where I write a character profile, and others write about that character. In fact, I think I'll go do that now.

What if I posted pictures and had the others to write a short story to go along with the picture or involve the picture. Since you are more of the writer I would like your opinion.

That sounds like a good idea. I was thinking of doing something similiar where I use a Sims 3 screenshot and others write the scenario and how the people got to that point. Your idea sounds good though, it allows for more variety and flexibility. I expect that would make it much more popular than my idea. Pick some good pictures, for I say go ahead with it! I would enjoy using the picture prompts to write my own stories. I would suggest, however, that you change the pictures peridically so people can get some fresh ideas flowing after using the first prompts.

Alright. I will do that. I just hope that this helps to get people posting again.

Your idea is good. I have not been on in so long. In my absence I left the guild to Demon but I agree with him. Picture prompts are interesting. I use music for my inspiration when I write and I write a lot.

It has been so long... I run my own guild now, and I'm a bit busy with that. I forgot all about this. I'm happy to help revive this guild, but I'll be focusing on reviving my own. Though mine's only been inactive for a month, and it's a small guild, I want to jump on the problem before it is too late. I tend my own guild weekly to fortnightly on Fridays as I am unable to be online except for Fridays and weekends. I usually spend Saturdays and Sundays doing other things, but I could make time, if you like. Can't promise too much activity, but I can help in smaller ways. How's that sound?

Fine. I just have no desire to lose members. I run 2 guilds and am considering a third, a skyrim based one.
