Title: I need an excuse to use my HHKB
Post by: Puddsy on Sat, 07 September 2013, 15:23:13
Post ideas in this thread and I'll turn some of my favorites into short stories in a day or 2. I'll probably keep going until I get bored.

Write a story about a world where couches rule, and they have to fight against the mighty beds. Filled with suspense, violence and love.

Why would you need an excuse?

edit: I think the word you're looking for is inspiration

Maybe, but I'm not sure. Inspiration is a silly word. It implies the need for a prerequisite, the need for a catalyst. Inspiration implies the need for something other than what I'm asking for. Maybe you're right, and I'm wrong. Inspiration implies uncertainty. "I can't think for myself, I'm a sheep who needs to be shepherded." I like to go my own way, like a plastic bag picked up by the wind.

I keep reaching for my arrow keys. It's really frustrating. The real reason is so that I can get used to typing on the HHKB. I'm not particularly good at it yet. Luckily we live in an age of auto correct. Also, whis idea was it to pic backspace where \ should be? That's really irritating.

Yeaaahhh.... I'm gonna have to disagree with you there, as what you imply is that every good artist is a sheep.

An excuse would mean that you have a board superior to the HHKB and feel that you need a reason to use the HHKB instead of the superior board.
