Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Ive always had the urge to make something in the creative space im just not sure what to start with or what to try?

Ive debated on making something like a book or game but then im reminded im terrible at writing due to dyslexia. Ive also wanted to make a comic but i cant draw that well, and ive wanted to make games but that requires so much time and skills i dont have sadly.

Is there something in particular i should try or focus on, what would you all advise i do? and why so.

I miss writing essays.

I did too. So I started a blog.

Heavily recommend it. And if you don't know what to write about, I've found giving a list of topics you like and asking a chatbot of your choice to generate an assignment is a good use for them.

Not the paper itself but the assignment prompt

Thanks for the encouragement. I love writing the same prompt most of the time.

It's about how Latinos are viewed and promoted in mainstream music or their branding is a reflection of our identities, and Americans understanding of Latinos. All Americans whether United States or North and South.

It's cool because I'm able to answer the same prompt differently and from different angles. And I always find fun tangets to go on or ponder over.

That's fun!

Rewriting a paper over and over is usually how I work out all my weird parts.

I use github pages for my blog and its whole point is tracking version changes. So now I'm deeply curious about what that would look like with an ever changing singular blog post. The intellectual journey wed see watching an author refine a single idea seems very interesting.

I'd genuinely read it every update that sounds like the kinda woke intellectualism I'm all about!
