{Copy/paste from my writing journal.}

However, the problem is I'm not having many pregnant elephants lately. In fact, I feel rather writer's block-ed. So because I've been meaning to do something like this for a while, and because it seems like a good way to get rid of that block, I'm asking you guys for help. Give me a prompt, and I'll write you a story.

What you do
You give me something with which you want me to write a story. It could be anything, really. A lyric, a quote, a basic little plotline you've had in yoru head for a while, a simply opening and/or ending line - etcetera.
If you have any specific wishes, mention them too, such as name and/or age and/or gender of the main character(s), things or people you'd like to make an appearance in the story, a certain style in which you would like me to write (eg. first person perspective, humour), etcetera.
You give me the freedom to make of it whatever I wish; you give me the prompt, I make the story.

What you don't do
Give too many details - if you pretty much have the entire thing worked out in your head already, save yourself the disappointment of getting my version of it, and write it yourself :) As I said above; you give me the prompt, but I write the story. I'm merely an entertainer, not your transcriber.

What I do
I write you a story. It'll be somewhere between 500 and 2000 words long approximately (unless I feel extremely inspired to make it much, much longer) and finished before 2010 (unless, again, I get incredibly many requests and/or University demands more time than expected). I'll write it in English unless otherwise requested (the only other option, however, is Dutch).

If you want to request/comment (please do! :D), you can do that either here or over at

Motivation is the fuel of racecars. A racecar that is beautiful and stunning on the outside, but has an empty fuel tank isn't going to go anywhere. An individual, no matter how capable and eloquent, without motivation and dreams, is just a showcar.
