RE: The 31 Sentence Contest: Round 5
Hi
I stumbled upon this a little too late last round.
I didn't get time to complete the challenge, I got to the 13th sentence, (which is more writing than I have done in a while actually). Thanks.
I enjoyed having a try. I will have another go. Although there is containment in the word count, it feels surprisingly freeing to have such an alternate structure.
Very much like Jazz, which may come across to some as unstructured, but is quite the opposite, and done well is a magic jive and eclectic union that challenges the rules.
Sometimes I find my ideas constrained by metre and rhythm. What I came up with was somewhat ambiguous, but my verse often is anyway, even if I try to stick to the rules.
Thanks for offering such a cool fun challenge.
This challenge definitely takes time to complete. I'm happy that you came back to give it an honest go. Good luck!!!
I've found that my own writing has changed a little. It is easier to construct longer sentences when needed. I can find examples of what they look like so much easier too.
It is a bit constricting but, then again, all contests have rules that constrain one somehow. My guess is that most haven't done this exercise yet so it can be a little overwhelming.
I've really enjoyed the stories from the same week. It is so interesting how the same sentence order with the exact number of words reads differently from post to post. It's almost like listening to different musicians who play within the same genre.
I attempted some research on this.
I knew nothing about Avatar, airbender, Korra etc. But I have to say, my son and I have started watching the first season on netflix.
Is this Aang and Katara??
Once again I have not completed the task. I frequently fail to finish steemit contests, but almost always learn something.
This time I have a legitimate excuse for being distracted. We are in Australia. Much of our country is on fire and we have had to leave our home and stay with family. I wish I could control the elements right now, we are waiting to see what the next few days bring, our home is in the path of a monstrous fire that has been burning for weeks.
Thanks for the prompt. We recently finished The Lion guard series and were in need of a new netflix obsession, and a distraction from the encroaching fire map watching.
Awesome. I love this series. Truly some of the best stuff ever made. I hope that you enjoy it as much as me.
I do believe that is avatar Aang and Katara, yes. The serious ends with them as kids and the next serious "The Legend of Korra" begins with her and you'll get to find out what happened Aang.
I'm guessing no one around you is a fire bender? Sorry to hear about the fires. I hope you get to go back to your home intact. We had many fires here in CA for the year. Close to me here in LA. I'm homeless so I had no home to lose but it does suck for the rest of the people who must go through this.
Maybe when times are better, you'll finish before the dead-line. For now, keep yourself safe.
You'll be up for many hours watching avatar Aang and his crew. A perfect distract that might provide some answers to dealing with life. Uncle Iro is great for this type of work. ;-)
