How do you 'The Prose'?
A fellow writer on the site passed on 'The Prose' to me back around 2017. Lots of changed since then. Most recently, I have enjoyed playing games, getting involved in the discord group- and the youtube channel is coming along nicely since it started not long ago. I like to think of 'The Prose' as a creative outlet, space for inspiration and hopefully where I may be inspiring others at times- somewhere to slap something up for a grin and for late night searching for 'something' to read not knowing what I am looking for. I sometimes describe the site as my 'pocket' for keeping starters, dropping lil nuggets of silliness, or throwing out things to the writing family that is the body of 'The Prose' just because it is a great place to do so. Over the years, I have sold some of my work, made and paid out from challenges and tips- I have met some awesome writers, and made a few friends. There are other writing corners out there in the big www, and all a bit different. So... what how do you 'The Prose'? What do you enjoy the most of the site, how long have you been here? What does it mean to you?

I've made a lot of noise on this website. Been here since 2018 or '19...? I can't remember. Let's go with '19 even if it may be '17 cos it feels like it might be right. What can I say? I want to be seen sometimes. When I scream out into the void, it's nice to imagine I am heard by someone. Sometimes, just as often, I don't want to be noticed at all. When I'm in the mood to share a bit, spill out, I come here. See if anything tickles my fancy. The challenges of this website have brought out some really real, really raw stuff from me. Reminded me of good and bad things. Bittersweet is the word I'd use cos that's what it tends to be. The website was there for me as my mind spiralled and when I left my old hell to a new, better university I'd like to call purgatory since it's in a more neutral plane of being. Writing helps me understand myself and I guess I'm tired of trying to make it pretty enough when I know for a fact this place gives you pretty free rein. I've written mostly sad things, sometimes genuinely good. My writing has gotten better. I'm able to explain my emotions rather well now. I entered this challenge cos I've been gone for a beat and honestly, seeing even more changes is something to adjust to. Yet I'm intrigued with what comes next. I tend to stick to what I'm familiar with so I'm not likely to look for another site any time soon... This will be a home for my random thoughts, memories and emotions for some unpredictable time to come.
