Howdy.
Wow
it’s been an age I didn’t write any stories and my fingers seem to forget how
to type even one incoherent story. College life is getting more intense, but it’s
not merely the reason. Okay, I admit it. It’s also because of my bad writing-habit
that making me less productive, though I know the only secret how to make a
good story is to read and to write A FREAKIN LOT. Today, I did blogwalking and
found a nice ‘creative writing prompt challanges’ in thinkwritten.com, and then
I thought, that’s not actually bad idea to challange myself with it. There are
no any prizes but I’ll do it for the sake of my writing improvement. Still, I
choose 50 out of 365 (selow dulu lah, ga serakah ambil semua T_T).
