Yes, you read the username correctly.
Yes, this is a serious thread, but is not one of the rare categories where I would put a Red Diamond on it.
The purpose of this thread is to discuss ways to get to a finished piece of creative writing.
Before I wanted to be lawyer, I wanted to be a writer. I now write quite a bit for a living, but the creative part of such writing is maybe 20% tops.
I am now embarking on trying something more creative.
Before JR became the cynical purveyor of one liners that you love to hate, I once went through the angst of losing the girl. We have reconnected after over 25 years of seeing each other and almost 25 years of speaking with each other. She has a work of published nonfiction on the creative process under her belt and a completed novel in search of a publisher. Despite my insane jealousy, I am trying to learn from her about the creative writing process and she has given me some good insights in between rolling her eyes at my pretentions.
This thread is for the rest of you to contribute your verse.
I have a bit of a method that I have started on that I will contribute later.
Any tips you all have or methods you use or think may be useful are encouraged. I really know nothing beyond how to write a one liner or maybe a limerick at most.

Resist the temptation to do it for me, gentle moderators.
