For something different

Why does SW not have an art category in question?

Challenge: name to me what you are good at. Tell me what you are not good at. Then pick a medium you don't feel good at (art/photography/writing) and share the results honestly.


I've learned I can paint, draw, and photograph. While I appreciate words, and often I'm lost in books; my medium is not writing. So if you contribute, tell me in writing what you want me to write most openly (tell me how to write it too - be it poetry, prose, short form story telling, even challenge with me visualizing telling a camp fire story. NO novels though!

A "who done it" mystery where there are several very capable culprits... Tell us why you were at fault for whatever your biggest regret is... Example culprits being your fear of rejection, fear of failure, your relationship with your mother, anger, selfishness etc.

@Typicalpisces Taken, when you share a challenge of your own. View it entirely as entirely an artistic creation. You choose your medium.

@SW-User I am very good at making people feel better and helping other people fix their problems... But I am not very good at doing the same for myself. I am great at coming up with ideas, like solutions to problems or innovative ways of doing things, but not so good at following through with plans. But... I'm really, REALLY good at dancing.

I'm not sure my strengths and weaknesses translate well...
SW-User
@Typicalpisces Than you and me may be the same in a way. Maybe a trait of being a Pisces? I would happily talk with you more, but I rarely do this … if my Q is contribute something artistically and then I'll share equally artistically lets start there.


So for you maybe dance choreography?

But that is what I am good at... What I am not good at in that respect is making music... Perhaps this could be my challenge? @SW-User
SW-User
@Typicalpisces Yes, point taken... You've tried creating music before?
Typicalpisces · 46-50, F
@SW-User I have... And gave up before creating anything because it was way to difficult! I knew what I wanted it to sound like but couldn't figure out how... So I made the excuse "if I MAKE the music, it would ruin my dancing experience."

YOU CAN'T PLAY BOTH SIDES OF THE TABLES (turntables)
You gotta pick a team...
SW-User
@Typicalpisces Yes, and this has to be interesting to you...

If you love dance and you love music (the two belong to each other), what would be more difficult for you to compose music or to choregraph a dance?
Typicalpisces · 46-50, F
Music for sure @SW-User
SW-User
@Typicalpisces Then a song? What tempo? What beat? What genre?

Then you have to tell me what I should write.... and yes you can tell me something different than to write, you could tell me to paint something

I will mix songs together like a DJ... @SW-User
I already gave you your challenge 😉
SW-User
@Typicalpisces I sensed that you gave me the challenge, you opened with it :)

And no I don't expect you to learn an instrument (plus many) within however long we set the timeline for this to be completed.. Just I want a creative take of what you want to express.

Am I allowed in story to use real stories?
Typicalpisces · 46-50, F
@SW-User You may write your story any way you choose... As long as it is introspective and entertaining 😉
