DISCUSSION THREAD, July 2019 75-Word Writing Challenge

[nixie]

Least I've entered, apologise but it was a struggle.

 

[MikeAnderson]

I actually found the challenge easy. That cyberpunk one last month kind of threw me for a loop. I don't usually dig that genre.

 

[Mr Orange]

I need more time. Sometimes I get an idea at work. Good luck to you @Mr Orange & @nixie

Our Muse Creatures are probably wondering around in the forest, or sleeping. Maybe watching classic comedy on Youtube. I dunno

i'm pretty sure my muse is at the pub. or binge watching game of thrones from the start again. either way I don't think i'm going to see her for a while.

 

[nixie]

My muse didn't turn up, had to wing it.

 

[Parson]

@nixie .... All in the name of Science. .... In the marriage of the arts and Science Fiction Nixie throws us a little art larceny in and mixes it all up for a story that won't soon be forgotten.

@IntoTheBlack .... On a scale like no other .... In the marriage of the arts and Science Fiction, I.T. Black reminds us who the REAL artist is.

 

[IntoTheBlack]

@nixie Surely a Pixie Druid can play music for the plants and they in turn sing for you

If this is you ‘Sans muse’ I can’t wait to read what you have when you muse is stuck to you like chocolate spread on un-toasted bread that’s been thrown on a carpet, ok I’m hungry now...

 

[Peter V]

My muse duly arrived with an idea I thought worth working with. That was over a week ago and a dozen drafts later, I am yet to find one that I am even remotely happy with. It's tantalisingly within reach but feels sadly beyond my ability, unless I wake to sudden inspiration!

I like the theme though and really feel it offers a wealth of opportunities.

I might have a think about the 300 - see if that oils the old cogs.

 

[Ian Fortytwo]

My muse finally produced something after a bit of procrastination.

 

[Parson]

@Ian Fortytwo .... A Future Conversation .... In the marriage of the Arts and Science Fiction Ian shows us the conflict which can come about in a world which values art very, very, highly.

 

[MikeAnderson]

My muse kept disappointing me, so I beat him up and duct taped him to a pipe in the basement.

Please let me know if this works

Hmm? I thought the muse was of the female orientation? ---- I will NOT explain why I think that.

I used have females for muses, but they kept complaining about me leaving the toilet seat up. That had to end.

I'd suggest that leaving the seat up is an invitation to a lecture you don't want a second time!

 

[Parson]

@StilLearning .... Mid-credit sequence: .... In the marriage of the arts and Science Fiction, S. Learning brings us the very logical conclusion to the universal show.

 

[Parson]

@Peter V .... From Under the Martian Yoke .... In the marriage of the arts and Science Fiction Peter writes a tale of magnificent art, irrepressible love, and intentional selfish cruelty.

Peter that's a real emotional roller coaster of a story. Well done.
