# About me
Duncan, the Stout One BBGGGLegendary Creature - Caterpillar Shaman
A writer, a fighter, and the designated driver. A one-shot warrior, would-be viking, more easily defeated by a walnut than an opponent. My body is broken, my psyche is cracked, and I once sold my soul for $3 and a Twix. I'm a self-loathing, self-depreciating, stark-raving lunatic and I don't believe in miracles.
Mostly I'm just a prose writer, but on occasion I will write poetry. I'm currently working on several projects, and have no idea how to proceed.
Feel free to leave comments on whatever. Bored? Say what's up and start a conversation. I'm usually bored too.
You might see me on certain online games as any of the following:

Contractions. Maybe occasionally leave dialogue unattributed if it's clear who's saying it.

any tips for writing a story under 350 words?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't write a whole story. Something that short is tough, but a small scene with either no dialogue or almost all dialogue might do the trick. What for?

You could try mugging. At the very least, it would be an educational experience.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i'm too pussy to do anything that will affect my school record or criminal record. yes that would be educational. if i had the liberty to go wherever i please.
wat's happening on your side of the world?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
With my life or my country? Because neither is very interesting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
life please. i can tolerate boredom
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I'm slowly losing contact with most of my friends, despite my best efforts. Even the most important people to me. My father also continues to be an insufferable bastard. Same old, same old. I did submit a short story to a contest recently, though. That might end up interesting.

speaking of competitions there's a prose and poetry contest and i know i want to be part of it.
i need a good subject.

something to depress people if you can
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I can always come up with something depressing. What genre, general fiction?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
poetry or short story, idk
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A romance, or do you tend to avoid those?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
anything would do as long as i can spin it into a proem (prose meets poem)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You could do a guy whose girlfriend is dead, but who still think she's alive. Or has some sort of mental trauma from having survived an accident that she didn't.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok maybe romance isn't my thing. anything else?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How about the last moments of life of someone committing suicide, and as their life flashes before their eyes, they realize their life was good and they liked it, but the damage is done and they die anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ooh nice. i'll consider it
anything else you want to throw?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Someone who wishes they could live forever and is then forced to see everything they know and eventually all of humanity get destroyed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow. intense.
do you think making a proem about the cold, grey world would be nice?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, but only if it's different. There are a lot of similar proems out there, so you need to make yours stand out.
