I Need to Flex My Creative Writing Muscles

So, unfortunately for my undulating desire to write things, I have absolutely no classes that challenge me to write creatively at all. I swear I'm not bragging or trying to say I'm an awesome writer (I saw you roll your eyes at that opening sentence) all I'm saying is I love to write and with my course load (or really any of my course loads, actually now that I think about it) there isn't a lot of demand for it. So fuck that, I have a blog and a will to do so, and am going to write goddamnit! So, I found this website that offers a shit-ton of random as hell prompts and whenever I'm low on things to blog (which is always, you guys know that) about I shall choose one from the list. TODAY: prompt 222 (my time of birth, triviaaaaaaaaa!!)

"Write a story about a beggar who loves to hear himself sing."

There once was a scoundrel named Edgar
The poor fellow t'was naught but a beggar
But ask him to sing
And slob became king!
Just as soon as you'd open the kegger.

Now along came a gentleman discontented,
His nuptials having just been upended,
His bride to be was a wreck
The minsteral'd run off with their check
The engagement was indeterminately suspended.

Now Edger, he was very smart
Jumped at the chance to spread his art
So he agreed to help
And the groom said with a yelp
"Tomorrow at noon! Bless your heart!"

Now the poor poor bride from old Readin'
All but lost her dear head from the frettin'
Edgar drank all their rum
Then got in on with her mum
The fellow had sung his last weddin'.

And, prompt 218 <3

"List 13 Good Reasons to Learn a New Language"

This is a coincidence, but for all my girlies over in Spain/Italy this semester!!

1. To become a more successful traveler
2. Because colleges and employers like it
3. To gain a sexy accent
4. So you can talk about others in public without them knowing
5. Because English is not universal
6. To open the Chamber of Secrets
7. To broaden your own horizons
8. To pick up Italian men (BEAN)
9. So you can learn all sorts of dirty swear words and no one can yell at you for saying them
10. So you can communicate with vastly more people (unless you learn something dead or obscure like Latin or Elvish)
11. Genuine interest in that language or culture
12. To decode codes craved into ancient artifacts and solve mysteries (a la Lara Croft, Dan Brown, or Nicholas Cage)
13. Because your entire family speaks it

Why do I do these things? I have no idea. But if you liked this in the least bit LEAVE A COMMENT WITH ANY NUMBER 1-350 and that's the next prompt Imma doooo!!
