Write 3 a day. Then 4-5 hours later, go back and edit them. 2 hours after that, post the best one (per day).PureChance wrote:Starting today (where today is yesterday) I'm going to write a twabble a day for a week. Please slap me (virtually) if I don't. Plus I'll give myself a 10 minute time limit from conception to completion so I don't start idly perambulating through my head to catch some ideas unaware whilst in lectures.
Total time: 20-40 minutes, spread into 3 small sessions.
Remember:
Brevity is the soul of wit.
Sloppy concept? Got no space for it.
Our phrases are ALL tight knit.
I think, therefore I Twit.

If anything, it would be "Welcome, Ma Damn."

I think I would prefer to keep my gender annon.... oh, wait. I put it on my profile... Darn you M/F question! You always trip me up! To save you the trouble of going to my profile, I'm male.

Well, I decided to adopt the write 3, revise later, and pick the best amendment to my challenge, although unfortunately I've already broken the 10 minutes only rule, so I'm just abandoning that one...
So here's what I felt was my best today:
It was my turn to host the Cult of Dagon's convocation this month. Turns out sashimi is not a suitable mid-meeting snack.

A bird lands near me
Looks like nature is starting to recover here
So, I snare it with a tentacle
Can't have that happening

What a spendered thing is the craft. Useful for so many things. Love? Money? Happiness? Well, two out of three ain't bad.

Possible edit:

"Oh, is she helpful?"
"I. don't. KNOW!"
Bonus palindrome: Em, Agnos... I is on game.
Anywho, best to worship Angus. The burnt offerings are better.

When she said, "Careful of the ankle biters," he'd assumed she'd meant toddlers.
So she had, but they were also zombies.

HR worked a compromise. The Wicked Things agreed to respect my personal bubble, and I agreed to stop pricking my thumbs.

Re: Post your Twitfic Twabbles Here! (General Content)
Well, here's my favourite for today, in the nick of time. 2 days down, 5 to go. On the plus side, I composed inside my 10 minute limit this time, and found it easier to pull ideas from just what was in my room.
"Behold, my anti-matter grenade!"
Jenkins cleared his throat, "Ah, Sir? I, ah, believe that is in fact your egg timer."

Re: Post your Twitfic Twabbles Here! (General Content)
Whelp, here's today's effort:
I lay on the bed, wondering. Perhaps she hadn't meant me to take it so literally when she said "over my dead body". Ah well.
Not sure if it was better than one of yesterday's back-ups, but I felt if I started cheating I might lose the motivation to compose decent ones instead of just using spares.
