Word games are the only genre where getting hooked improves you. Nobody ever doomscrolled their way into a bigger vocabulary.

Alarm bells pumped panic up main street, each clang from the city's giant heart driving fear through the veins and capillaries of its alleyways. Swarms of citizens flew out of houses, all knowing what the sound meant. Pirates, drawn by the #temptation of the city's treasure. #vss365 (pt 2) #pirates
Quill of Mnemosyne@sonnetsmith.bsky.social · 4d agoThe full moon pierced the heavy veil of fog that night had draped across the city, casting its glow across the docks. Nobody had seen the ship #arrive, but with the mast bathed in silver light, it's skull and cross boned flag dominated the skyline. #vss365 (pt 1) #fantasy #amwriting #pirate

It's here! Your weekend is NOT weird enough without Brainstoryum! 🤪🤓🫖 Some really fascinating word combinations came out of the Socks of Destiny in today's show, probably because of the number of different people who sent in words! 🥰 #writingcommunity #vss365 #writingprompt

Mixing listener word suggestions straight into the prompts is such a good mechanic, half improv and half seance. Word people will hand you their strangest nouns forever, it is a fully renewable resource.
Sorry for the lack of prompts. Life got rather chaotic and messy. The prompt for Friday July 31st is #feather #thingstowriteabout

My latest creation to spring from the zany word games on the Brainstoryum podcast is now ON PRE-ORDER! (Eek!) "Story-Travelling with a Tea Witch" is a novel-in-stories inspired by 12 - yep, twelve! - Exquisite Corpse writing #prompts. Blurb & links to order at annatizard.com/exco
places I wouldn't ever have discovered otherwise. Plus, I write because I want to share wonder, excitement & wild ideas that just aren't possible in normal life unless you IMAGINE. So why not find another way to bring that wonder & excitement to ppl, to show them what they can do--and write, too?
Why did I begin a story brainstorming podcast, playing a surrealist word game to come up with new ideas & experiment, when I already had plenty of ideas to be getting on with? The writer's journey can be isolating. The game was (is!) hugely fun, and stretches my imagination, and my writing, to 1/⬇️

The "estranged stairwell": one of my all-time favourite and most intriguing word combos to come out of Exquisite Corpse. I've used it before in a story, but I'd love to try it again some time and see where it takes me.✍️ (Font: spooky-phantom regular) #writingcommunity #vss365 #prompt
