So I recently learned that there's this thing called "Don't Break The Chain"
I ignored most of the details but the gist of it is that you make one tiny little bit of creativity every day, and try to not miss a day.
This bit of creativity can be anything, but obviously an Internet forum is best suited to writing. And whatever you make can be really, really small. If you're writing, it can be a sentence. It doesn't have to be good in the slightest, or related to whatever you made the previous day.
I'd like people to start using this thread to post the Links in their Chain, as it were. If something causes inspiration and you'd like to expand on something, make a new topic and link back to the post in this thread.
I've been putting entries in a notebook:
Jan 27:
The basement smelled of dusty concrete and damp cardboard. A smell of nostalgia left to mildew. She shuffled over to the far corner, savoring the crunch of paint chips beneath her shoes. Tucked away on the old, warped wooden shelves was the object of her search: a cigar box, somehow untouched by the damp.
She pulled the box free from the cobwebs, their strands seeming to reach feebly for their stolen prize.
"This time will be different," she promised. A promise for no one.
Jan 28:
The sky was just a little too clear, the sun a little too hot. He'd come home with a sunburn for sure. His cheeks tingled in anticipation of being lightly singed.
Jan 29:
Everyone remained silent, but it was a sickly silence. Rather than a solemn hush that commands respect, this was an aching void of silence. It begged them for an answer, a question, a curse. Anything to fill the space, but they stood dumb and frightened. Each passing heartbeat seemed to grow louder as they continued to fail. Failing to answer.
That's very cool. I like the idea, regardless of the fact that I can't get that Fleetwood Mac song out of my head now.
I'm gearing up for the RPM challenge. This would be a good place to keep myself honest about what I'm doing.

I do want to try this, but I'm on a bit of a hiatus from creativity, on account of burn out.
Understandable. Best to start when it doesn't feel like work. I'm trying this as an exercise to gently get my creative writing neurons to dust off and starting working again, after years of bleh.
I totally lied.
http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=37139.msg1369686#msg1369686
That was awesome.
I'm going to do one more today, maybe, and then I'll pick it up again on Monday.
I totally goofed up and forgot a day two days ago, but I'll put my new ones up tonight.
I really like the idea. I've tried to regulate my creative efforts before to little success. For some reason I can drag my ass out of bed to work on a regular basis, but consistently writing has been hit and miss. I would much rather tell a story verbally and the process of writing is concentration intensive and almost physically laborious for me. But I do get to keep the product and share without losing and so see the real value and want it.
I'm going to try and work a bit each day, without kicking myself for diversion, to work on the projects I have opened here until I have seen at least one completed to my satisfaction before I open more.
Thanks for this thread Cainad! It has provoked me to examine my habits a bit more.
You can make each piece part of a larger whole if you want, but it can also just be a sentence that comes to mind. That may even be preferable, depending on how your creativity works.
If you prefer being verbal, you could do short voice recordings.

I have strongly considered voice recordings but not taken steps to host them or gotten my butt in gear as to what I might record.
I also could use a recommendation on a site to host audio files and pics specifically for sharing here.
I've learned much but am still really not all that net savvy.
I do like the idea of 'just one sentence' just to keep on point. That may help.
Jan 31
The world outside vanished in the night. It seemed that only the quavering sphere of light cast by the fire was real, and even he was only a shadow guest within it. His thoughts were swallowed up in the flames and ritual abnegation that was as old as human civilization. Older, really.
Feb 1
Even after the train doors closed, there was an unshakable feeling that they were still too late. The animal instinct to flee was still pumping through their blood like so much burning gas.
But they were safe for now. They had made it.
Feb 2
The buzz of an old fluorescent bulb quickly becomes a screaming nightmare when there's nothing else to listen to. It was a fool's gambit: surrender to the shrill light or strike up conversation again. The man had finally seen fit to shut up, and getting him started again was not a pleasant prospect.

A really awesome and transformative idea!
A few months back I found myself pretty well outta shape, my drawing skills were really rusty, and I was very much in need of a better job, but I just started chipping away at it, little bit by little bit, day after day, and I now find myself getting back on track.
Still in need of improvement on all accounts, but every little bit helps :fnord:
Best wishes to all!
yea i think this could really help me get my stand-up comedy bits written down as well as get some immediate feedback

Fun fact, "Don't Break The Chain" is attributed to Jerry Seinfeld, as his technique for being able to write new material at an extremely prolific rate.
So regardless of what one thinks of his comedy, it's certainly a tested methods for cranking out lots of material.
Every day I put updating this off, I have more entries that I'll need to transcribe when I finally do it. :horrormirth:
Been keeping up though. At this point I can't really go to sleep until I crank out at least a sentence.

True fact. If I don't deliver the goods tonight I submit myself to the Judgement of... uh, something.
I have picked up too many hobbies and find myself exhausted whenever I have the chance to post. Punching/getting punched and being hit with bamboo sticks can really take it out of you, if you aren't serious about having a good time.

I like this. Both as anti procrastination and I extracted a bit more from context of 'know your enemy'.. know your tomorrow or prepare.
I've settled on reading PD every day as my don't break the chain. Think I heard a quote somewhere like 9/10ths of success is showing up. It really matters to me that I have not been ridiculed here for the more sincere thoughts I've expressed. It matters much more to me that I am so often provoked to thought by what I read or am otherwise exposed to here. In some ways it's more valuable to me than the IRL socializing I usually do with my time but not in every way.
Enough that I want to carve more time out of my schedule to spend here.

You stopped trying to be the zaniest guy in the room.
I knew you'd turn out to be okay.
But if you tell anyone I said that, I'll call you a liar.
Feb 3
Nope. Nope nope no, fuck that and fuck you. I came here on my day off and gave you a fair listen like I promised. Now I'm going to get my coat and leave, and we will not speak of this ever again. God damn it.
Feb 4
Not a soul to be seen or heard. For the next ten minutes, we had total isolation.
Perfect.
Feb 5
There was so much left, it seemed impossible. Surely we'd gone through more than that.

"It won't be that way. We've taken special precautions," he assured me.
"I'll believe you, mostly because I really want to." It was the truth; there was no way these people, smart and earnest as they were, could have accounted for everything.
I followed him to the door, behind which was the most important thing I'd ever dealt with in my life... this month, at least.
Feb 7
I had been taking constant sips of water to avoid entering the conversation, but I miscalculated. I sat staring at the ice cubes, cursing them for not melting fast enough.

She sniffed at the damp, cool forest air. The fecund smell seemed to wash away the dry, dusty residue of the city.
Feb 9
THERE AIN'T ENOUGH CHEEZ WHIZ IN THIS WHOLE DAMN TOWN FOR YOUR BULLSHIT.
Maybe if you quit being such an asspig for twelve continuous seconds we'd be able to unfuck this turdstorm of incompetence. But first, lunch.
Feb 10
Everything hurt, in a way I was not prepared for. Just sitting still as a rock with half a bottle of aspirin swimming around in my blood hurt.
Sure, in concept it's easy to understand that getting your ass kicked in a straight-up fist fight is gonna be painful. But adrenaline is a fickle bitch and once it leaves you, you're left with nothing but sandbags where your muscles should be.
Shauna would, of course, find this hilarious. Because she's that kind of friend.

Good chain.
Thanks :lol: Last one is 4% autobiographical; taking up two different martial arts at the same time for my SlackTM tends to leave me feeling a bit... tenderized.
They have a phrase here "direct transmission of warrior knowledge". Ya don't know till you've felt it. And you do feel it. I much prefer meditation! Come to think of it it's been a while. My work schedule is a big part of that, but I should check in with them.

Sincerity makes a difference, a big one. Vulnerability is one of the hardest things to do, but also IMO one of the most valuable, because when you are being most vulnerable is when you are also showing the things that you care about most, and are most invested in, and not only are those the things that are most likely to be the best things you have worked on because you put the most into them, but also they will be the things that you are most sincere about.

Well yeah. You wrote it. In print it's libel. :)
For real though, a big factor in that is that I have dropped two main things.
One is the pretense, delusion really, that I was a businessman. My company was real in the "Legal Zoom got me filed" sense, but I was not ready AND headed the wrong way.
The other is that I have decided to treat this place as I would any given church or temple I might walk into IRL. One I can scream fuckall in as loud as I may need to, but ultimately public and connected to me.
Cainad, the 9th is my favorite.
i have been in a writey mood lately, but with almost no time to write. Appointments here, appointments there, meetings everywhere! But I have the feeling of having much to say, so I hope I can take a minute to say it here and there.

This last bit has been very significant for me, personally; just finding that the people I interact with online are also a very real community, and friends who can potentially be a big part of my life and an instrumental part of my future.

Nigel I am currently the product of many, many experiences since I first posted here. I do not have the power to answer myself, with any certainty, when I ask myself what ultimately led me to this place. I am quite certain that I have grown from, and perhaps even been kept from a foolish path by, my interactions with the folks here.
I concluded that the least that I can do is actually be who I am if I can't seem to put down the Discordia and walk away.

I had just gotten into bed and realized that I'd forgotten to write an entry, so I hopped up and scribbled out whatever trash came to mind. Made a nice departure from the entries that sounds like they were written by someone with thick-rimmed glasses and a cardigan.
There's definitely no requirement to get all your thoughts down for the chain entries. If you have the urge to make words, scrawl out one terribly-formed sentence on the nearest thing you can write on.

I understood most of that Hirley0. Do not feel like you must communicate in uncomfortable fashion. I will do my best to understand you and try to ask meaningful questions if I can't parse things. Just let me know if I get something wrong. I expect to do that a lot at first.
Are you synesthesic? Is there a key to your color choices? Your coding mode of comms has fascinated and often, I must admit, confused me since I first got here.

I'm pretty sure Hirley0's chain is a Möbius Strip, and cannot, due to an epistemic glitch, be broken.
Fact. He's his own entity with his own spacetime. I dig it, if barely understand it.

I think a big chunk I need to get of the puzzle is that symbol code's standard meanings. Would not mind reference to a chart if any good suggestions come up.
Color won't make much difference to me before I know the symbols as used and I think played upon for meaning.

Maybe it's some sort of temporal Doppler wave effect from the polydimensional thermo sinks on Hirley0's quantum processors.
As for Nigel getting younger. . well... most people just borrow sugar and power tools from their neighbors. I'm assured by the fine entities at the Mortality Accounting Office that there are insurances for this kind of thing. They'll all get the 're-appropriated' time tacked onto their lot within 3- 5 standard business incarnations.
Also Niliel, head of Accounting and Omens, badly wants me to assure 'The Nigel' that there will be no more form letters being sent and the office was in error. He was REALLY insistent. Never seen a Seraph so jumpy before, but it's none of my business.

The glass was shattered. It's very easy to forget just how unreasonably sharp and small pieces of shattered glass really are, especially if you watch too many movies where people break through glass with impunity. Glass, when broken, naturally forms edges that are sharpened at the atomic level.
This was not very interesting knowledge for my left palm, which was much more interested in not being shredded. I withdrew my hand from the box.

He had a voice which reminded me of a scratchy tag on the back of a t-shirt collar. But he smelled really nice. This presented me with a problem, because I really didn't have the time to stick around and learn which of these first impressions I should rely on for future judgement.

It's working now, but I can't listen to it because the school computers don't have any speakers. :(
Delivery yes, but...
from what I understand, stand-up is an art form, and the starting point to being good at it is to die on stage a bunch of times. That's how you find out what works and what doesn't. Then, you refine each of those nuggets you've dug out and melt them in a BIG FUCKING POT.
Find out what hits them in the gut, where they're weak, and then exploit that shit for :lulz:

Exactly... like writing, music, art, science, and pretty much everything else worth doing, first you have to suck at it a whole lot in order to get any better. You just keep sucking, and sucking, and sucking until this one time you suck a little less, and then eventually you get to a point where you hardly suck at all.
If you aren't willing to suck at it as hard as you can, you'll never give yourself a chance to get good.

It's hard to express just how wrong it felt to be in that room when it happened. The closest analogy I have is the feeling of a toenail peeling back. It goes past pain and ends up in a place where it feels like the universe has made a mistake that you are powerless to fix.

aww thanks you guys :). I rewrote the vaccine bit to make it more coherent. That and the tumblr bit were rough rants on a concept and i'm gonna try and get them down on paper as fully fleshed out bits. It's hard but the only way forward is to keep getting out to those open mics and keep seeing what does and doesn't work.
as for the video its cuz i flipped it from private tot public earlier today.
