Brain or mind, let them shine: a challenge of creativity
Heya
Haven't seen many lighthearted topics around here for quite a while now, so guess I'm gonna make one. It's actually not just lighthearted. It's a game that may get your brain and your mind working.
It's a game of art and heart, of sense and soul!
Let me tell you a bit about how this game came to life. In my university, it's normal for literature students to challenge their friends' creativity, especially among artsy type like me. One game we would play is that someone would come up with a random line, like "a phone rings and he runs out of the house, panting all the way." Then the others have to come up with something to narrate, emotionalize or do whatever to make it deeper. You can't do anything irelevant to said line, or else you lose by default.
Someone on a mud mentioned something about creativity, and that sparked this idea in my mind. The goal of this game isn't to find the most creative person on the forum or anything. It's to stimulate your brain, to let you envision and imagine what you may or may not think, see or even feel, to reach out to those that may not even be there or known to you, create something out of it and put it into more than just a passage of description. The rules are as follows:
- I'll give you a passage.
- You read it and get your heart and brain working. Imagine, envision, feel, think, whatever you can do with that passage. Once you manage to come up with something, whether it's a narration of that scene in your own writing, a poem, a revised version of how the original passage is described, something emotional...the choice is endless. As long as it's relevant to said passage and there's more than just some simple and crude words put together, you're among the winners. If you come up with something irrelevant, spam or shitpost, you lose this round by default.
- For those who pass the requirement in the previous rule, I'll give you a personal comment about your submission so you can have something to squeeze your brain juice and enhance your creativity. We both learn and share. That's what the goal of the game is.
Keep in mind that there's no winner. Everyone wins as long as you don't fall from any of the requirements.
The passage for this round is:
"Drawing became something very deep for him, and his last wish was to draw something out of his own memory."
I wish those of you who feel like stimulating your creative juice good luck. I'm waiting to see everything you come up with.
One last note: I'm not a professional writer or anything. I'm just a literature graduate who seeks to learn as much as you.
