I'm on board with that idea.

Well, you asked for it. Here is the first fiction I've written in more years than I can remember. :psyduck:

KICK ass. I liked it! And it came from a direction I did not expect. :thumbs UP:

Then beauty happens.
Now I'm kind of itching for a writing workshop.

I'm on board. Not unlike Gareth, I haven't written much in a few years, though I used to love it. I've also never written a whole story in English before, but I'd be up for it.
Maybe this will even get me to start on that story idea that's been floating around in my head for literally years...
Asterus:
We just had an event at the Kresge Library at my college called the "24-hour write-a-thon", and there were quite a few activities for inspiration there. One that worked well was a set of 5 bags with different pieces of a prompt; One for setting, situation, character, time period, and a mystery word. It worked rather well (I got a Lonely Gypsy in A Apartment in a Post-apocalyptic World who Lost his Reputation, and something to do with Engines)
If you can find a random generator for that, it's worth a shot :P
Masterpiece:
I'll definitely be down for a writing club.
