I'm bored, and I find them fun to pass the time but I have noone to do them with presently. Anyone here like to write? Just silly I mean, not a competition.

I wrote about a peculiar man named Roger. Roger likes to analyze the best way to take showers. Not just how to take showers; the logistics of angling his body just right, so as to have the water jet splash against his neck, sending the water down his back, but also trickling down his front, to maintain optimum warm water exposure all across his body.

The quick, brown Jophiel jumps over the lazy dog, but he does so in a very awesome manner.
Edit: I'm stupid.

Sure, what sorts of exercises?
And LIFT the pen and STRETCH the arm and DOWN to the paper, feel the burn!
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Free write can be very entertaining. Just write without any planned plot, let the story go where you see it that very moment. I find it helps me relax and not feel so much pressure on every sentence.
Single paragraphs stories I also believe help one a lot. It forces you to pact meaning and detail into a very small space.

Very rarely when I write a story do I have a planned outcome. That might be part of the reason I don't finish very many of the things I start.
Stephen King described it once in one of his many books about an author (might've been Misery). He said that he stares at the page and a hole opens up into another world.

I usually know where things are going to end but I don't know what's going to get it there.

I have the opposite problem. I focus too much on the planning and find myself unable to connect the bits of story I have prepared. I know where I want to go, but not how to get there.
I was writing a book for over 2 years, but my hard copies all died and my PC crashed. I think I might be able to pick up a copy I sent to a friend, but that's a long shot.

I will often have a bit of story running around in my head on my drive home. Lately it's been of the sci-fi/fantasy genre, but by the time I get home I forget most of it and don't bother writing it down.
My husband is constantly getting onto me about how I need to start writing again.
I sort of assumed that Nexa was going to give us some sort of exercise in this thread and then I'd complete the assignment and post it here and none of you would ever want to write again.
I curse a lot on my blog, does that count?
Oh free writing isn't any sort of exercise...I mean something with rules. For example, my writing group used to go around in a circle and each of us would think of a word. When we got to 50 words (or whatever), each of us was given a list of the 50 and we had 24 hours to write something...be it poem or story or whatever that was under 500 words but used all 50. Something of that nature.
Other things we used to do were write form poetry, like sestinas, but over something silly, like vegetables.
Mostly I just don't want to work on my thesis and if I post this in the Asylum Smash will see it and know I'm procrastinating.
No ratting me out now.

True. And because "Fuck" sounds cooler then "Fornicating our Love".
I'm trying to get a Bioshock story started, but I keep forgetting about it. It'd basically be a "novelization" of the whole game.
I am interested and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

The second word is: prominences.
The third word is: apparently nobody else wants to play this game, Nexa.
The real third word is: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
