For some reason I feel like writing fiction. Why not?
The landscape was dry, dull. The travellers were weary and tired. They had travelled on foot for days and days, miles and miles, far far away from the village which had chased them out.
"I'm hungry," the youngest said. "I'm tired. Why can't we go back, Mummy? Where are we going?"
"It won't be long," the kindly voice replied. "It won't be long, I promise,"
"But long until what?"
The woman did not say anything.

More Random Words
This is a bit of a continuation on this post.
Leisure: I spend a lot of my leisure time relaxing with technological advances. Computers and DS games and so on. I sometimes read books as well.
Some people spend their leisure time socializing and gossiping. I do not like to gossip and Socialization isn't exactly leisure. It's more like work.
Text: This is text. So is this. And this.
Texting is what a lot of teens do. I don't do it that much, but it is a good way to send a quick word to someone. Such as Maelstrom.
Survival: Everybody wants to survive for as long as possible. But the conclusion is always the same: they eventually don't.
Soft: Soft is a very nice texture. Much better than all the other ones.
Meal: We had Spag Bol for dinner tonight, in case you're wondering. You probably aren't - who cares about those things? It was delicious, in case you're wondering. You probably aren't.
Rage: Ooh, look at that burning rage at having to read all this. I'm going to go and hide before you unleash it.

Word Generating
Let's play a game of Word Generator! Or, while you read the total stupidity I'm about to spew, I'll generate words using a generator and then ramble a bit about them. Or something like that.
Address: I often spell this as 'adress' without meaning to - it's just bad habit! An Address could be a house address or an email address. My 'Blog Address' is where you can contact me if you need to - but only about the blog - minimperson@gmail.com. Anything else, tough luck. If you are known by me, you should have another suitable means of contacting me, and if you aren't known by me, you shouldn't need anything else. So there. (and yes I will try to reply, and yes, you may speak criticism as long as it is constructive). So there you go. Next word please.
Rock: These things are everywhere on the ground and you can get them for free. They can be used as a weapon but you will probably be arrested for it. Certain Pokemon can disguise themselves as rocks. Rock 'n' Roll is when you pick up a rock, and you roll it down a hill watching what it does. I'm just kidding. It's a music genre that is associated with rock cake.
Voting: At school you would have votes for Form Captain, Vice Captains (boy and girl) and Form Representatives (again, boy and girl). I often tried for one of these positions before I realized that I would not be a good choice for any kind of job that involved talking to other people. One year the Vice Captain was between me and a short grumpy girl - I had once revealed my less-than-positive view of her to a group of gittish boys because they'd asked about it and I hadn't thought that they'd do anything about it because they'd said something that made me think they were going to keep it to themselves, but instead they shouted it across the grounds (we were doing some Art out there). What happened at this vote? An annoying boy said across the classroom "Don't Vote for Minim!" (Paraphrasing, cos he used my real name). I didn't get the position.
Convert: One boy, I'll call him Ali, tried to get me to believe in God. I'd told him I was atheist. He was a Muslim. I think Ali wanted me to convert to Islam, once he asked me about it but I didn't hear him properly over about a dozen keyboards. I could rant about Music class forever but I'm actually just going to value the fact that I may have written quite a bit and leave you to it. I might rant on another day.
Address: I often spell this as 'adress' without meaning to - it's just bad habit! An Address could be a house address or an email address. My 'Blog Address' is where you can contact me if you need to - but only about the blog - minimperson@gmail.com. Anything else, tough luck.

Drabbling Difficulties
Minim: Hmmm, I think I'll write a drabble about a quartet of girls who go to the Chalet School.
[Minim writes about a quartet of girls who go to the Chalet School]
[Minim goes on internet and gets distracted by awesome/interesting game/site/something]
[Minim goes back to document, saves and closes]
Next day...
Minim: I'm going to write an awesome drabble about a girl battling with the author like the animation and animator.
[Minim writes about a girl battling with the author like the animation and animator]
[Minim goes on internet and gets distracted by awesome/interesting game/site/something]
[Minim goes back to document, saves and closes]
A repetition of this has meant that I now have a lot of drabbles that are started but nowhere near even getting to the main plots or anything.
I believe that this limits productivity and so is a specialized type of writers block. Far too many ideas means I have a hard time concentrating on any one odd drabble.
I could start a challenge with all of my demi-drabbles and get people to complete them any way they want, at any length they want too. A weekly challenge, maybe. It would be something to do with all of those halves that I'll never complete anyway.
Anyone?
