Inspired by Writing Prompt Generator

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

I've been lurking on Steemit for a while, and wasn't really sure what to write about or contribute. During my short time here, I've seen a lot of amazing talents and inspiring posts, though in a way it didn't really help motivate me to post. I don't really do anything interesting--no exotic hobbies, noble causes, unusual skills or musical instruments.

But I signed up here because I wanted to learn more about cryptocurrencies, and Steemit is the most interactive way to be involved somehow. So I will have to contribute whatever I can. I thought about writing based on prompts, so I could improve my writing while possibly producing something worth reading. I googled "writing prompt generator", tried a couple, and then finally got to this website, called "Seventh Sanctum": http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=writeprompt

After reading just a few prompts, I thought that this would be a great way to improve the efficiency of choosing topics to write on. Then I quickly realized that the exact opposite was true, as I spent the next 10 minutes or so just generating and "re-generating" prompts. There was definitely something special about this generator--just look at these gems:

"One alien plague is bad, two is worse, and thirty . . ."
Can you say next Hollywood blockbuster sci-fi movie(s)? 1 or 2...or 30...

"It was Tuesday, the day of crying, which was really depressing."
I did think about writing on this, but it'd end up being a "giver"-clone.

"Drug addiction is like breathing."
Can't Stop. Won't Stop. Uh-uh, uh-uh.

"I am a social man, with my rare coffin."
Yea, I bet that rare coffin's a hit at all the parties.

"I've found that all rogue AI lack any understanding of love--he was the exception."
But are you sure it doesn't just want you for your body?

And that's what I ended up doing instead of writing. But I do really like the prompts generated by this website. Next time I'll actually choose one and write something.
