RE: Naked (Freewrite #28: Artichoke)
Haha, that's really amazing! And I could totally see the syrup jumping in until he started to eat the heart! ;)

I'm not sure how syrup and artichoke would taste together - I am not willing to try!
Well, I agree, me neither. But in my defense - until he ate the heart I hadn't figured he was making out with an artichoke ;)
It was never stated that he was ;) I leave that up for interpretation. The true inspiration was that as humans, we tend to try to dress up, put on makeup and look our best - so this unlucky woman looked delicious. When we take everything away, it is us and our hearts, and if we attract people by looking appetising, we are inviting them in to eat our hearts (metaphorically).
Thank you, that's so true - and how you approached today's prompt is really interesting! I love how everyone has a unique inspriration when creating stories, "even" if we're starting with the same prompt. Kind of my motto is "There's a million ways to tell one story" because everyone has (at least) one unique perspective on what appears to be the same story - and hearing, reading, etc. a story is again a unique way of understanding or/and interpreting it.
Indeed. And that is why I love poetry, especially when I leave it more abstract. I realised that I can do that easily with the freewrites too. I do want to try to write longer fictional stories eventually, but I need a good moment to start.
You should absolutely do that when you feel the moment's right. I'm kind of a patchwork writer when it comes to longer stories, depending on how I'm feeling and "getting into the story". And sometimes it turns out one scene (or poem, but I don't think I'm really good with poems) was all there is to a story, sometimes the story is literally epic. It's awesome that we can do all this here, not depending on editors or certain numbers of pages that have to be printed.
I do like to edit my stuff out, though. Especially if I want a curie in the future hahaha. I do want my best to come out online, so I have a good 'reputation'. Maybe I am an over-achiever, but I won't settle down until I get that damn curie! hahaha
