Howdy!
I hope this post finds you all well! I’ve got another idea. What else is new, right? 🙂 It’s inspired by Cathy Tea’s Thirty Sims at Three Rivers. I originally planned to do something like this, but I wasn’t inspired to sit down and write 30 random thoughts. However, I’ve taken a different approach. I love words! It’s probably not surprising that one of my favorite board games is Balderdash. It’s the most fun to play when half of the players play for fun and not to win. Anyway, so here’s what I’m going to do. I have an inbox full of words from the Word of the Day lists I subscribe to. I will select words that I like. I will create a Sim(s) and a short story or brief scene inspired by the meaning of that word. The title of said stories will be the word. If the word is unfamiliar to you, hopefully you’ll be able to gather the meaning of the word based on the story you’ve read. You’ll be able to find these stories on a page called Balderdash in the Short Stories section of my site. These will be published randomly, so expect them at any time! I hope you enjoy this fun little challenge.
Fun! I’m looking forward to this! 🙂
I’m gonna try to have the first one out on Wednesday!
This sounds fun! I do a similar thing in my journal!
Oh cool! How does that work? Oh look! Is that your simself on your picture?
Well I just take the word of the day (usually from dictionary.com) and use it as inspiration for a poem, song, story, or bit of dialogue. I also do it with the verse of the day sometimes.
In the flesh… well, pixels! Lol yes, that is my simself!
Adorable! 🙂 That’s a good idea though! I’ve thought about doing that…well, before this idea of course lol. I just never took the time to actually do it. My poor journal. I bet it feels all kinds of neglected.
Lol my journal was heavily neglected until recently! I still don’t use it as much as I want to but at least I get writing in elsewhere.
Yeah, see I was never a consistent writer even in my journal. So it’s natural for me to spend long periods of time away from it, but I’ve never been away this long. I’m quite sure it’s been more than a year. Probably more than two! That’s ok. In four weeks, when I’m in the mountains, I’m sure I’ll be writing the crap out of it while I’m alone with no Internet lol.
Nice idea Jes!! cannot wait to read these!!
I have one scheduled for tomorrow! It cracked me up. I hope you guys think it’s funny too!
The anticipation may kill me <3
he he he, mission complete! :-p
