Community name help

[starrylizard]

I plan to start a community for writing exercises. Just a place where people can post writing exercises and maybe some other things (discussions about writing exercises or links to useful resources), but mostly just writing exercises.

I was going to call it writing_exercises, because while that is boring, it tells people what it is all about right there in the name. But LJ thinks it is too long.

Other thoughts I had include: prod_the_muse, word_exercises, start_writing...
Some of these may already be taken. I haven't tried to grab them as yet, because they don't really catch my imagination.

Has anyone got any suggestions? Usually when I ask, I get way better names then I can think up myself. *puppy eyes*

Edit: I've half-settled on the_write_idea and set it aside just in case, but I'm totally still open to other options.

Oh and I accidentally deleted my LJ earlier. Hopefully nobody noticed as it was just an 'oops' moment. :P

Your prod the muse lead me to muse_poke...

um... yeah. Not sure if that's any better or worse. LOL!

[sarlania.livejournal.com]

*butts in*

Muse poke sounds rather...painful. Especially after a day of learning about orthapaedic surgery and seeing pictures of doctors poking their fingers into surgical cuts. :D

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

tmi! ^_^

[sarlania.livejournal.com]

Heh.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

:P

[in-the-bottle.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well, I was thinking more of the facebook poking function. It's like Muse's FB...

And I LIKE poking things. With a stick. :P

Hee, that's what I thought of too. Sarlania has a sick and twisted life. lols. It does make her awesome, though! Must introduce you two when next I'm in your town.

[in-the-bottle.livejournal.com]

:D

[sarlania.livejournal.com]

I thought of that too, but my immediate response was not what people may call normal. *grins*

*backs away slowly*

[in-the-bottle.livejournal.com]

LOL! Don't worry about it, I have a rather morbid sense of humour myself. When I was 13, I wanted to be a forensic coroner and dissect dead bodies... gave up that idea after I realised that I actually have to get through medical school. :P

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Told ya, you guys totally need introducing some time. :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

what about the_write_idea? I'm so bad at comm names.

[in-the-bottle.livejournal.com]

I like this! Better than exercisethemuse because with that, I thought I saw exorcisethemuse, which is the opposite of what you want!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

My muse is possessed most of the time, might be exactly what it needs. LOL

[in-the-bottle.livejournal.com]

Bwah!

[sarlania.livejournal.com]

Hey I like this too! Puns are awesome. :D

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

I adore puns. Family tradition in most Aussie households methinks. :)

[sarlania.livejournal.com]

How can you accidentally delete your LJ? LOL

Given up on starlit_words eh? I rather like prod the muse. It sounds cute. :D

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

You go to delete the comm you just accidentally opened and don't take note of the drop-down menu.

Well I could post the fic I've written recently over there, but it didn't seem to be happening. lol.

[sarlania.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad it's easy to reverse. :D LJ would be quite lost without you.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

aww! *smish*

What about exercisethemuse?

Edit: or muse_exercises?

[sarlania.livejournal.com]

They're okay, though see my comment above. ;)

*snorts*

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

I never claimed to have the smarts. :D

Edit: This is like a meet up of my Aussie flisters. Yo!

O_o

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

These things happen. Ha! :D
I was attempting to delete a community I had accidentally opened (yeah, I'm smart enough to manage that one too!) and I didn't pay enough attention to the drop down box that says what you're deleting. oops!

[dragonflylady77.livejournal.com]

This sounds like a cool idea. I look forward to lurking on it (I can't write to save my life... but I do love reading stuff about it). I'm really liking "the_write_idea">.

And how on earth do you accidentally delete your LJ? I mean... can you delete it and then get it all back. Stupid question.. because obviously you can... but... I didn't know that.... I think I would die of heart failure if I did that. All the trouble LJ are having with the DDoS attacks at the moment is freaking me out enough..


(also... I hope you're aware how well received you song suggestion was...<33)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Cool!

LJ allows you to delete a journal for something like 3 months and still retrieve everything. People sometimes do it, because their LJ is too big a temptation while studying or whatever, plus they give you loads of time to just change your mind if you're deleting in a hissy fit. :P

(YAY! Is it posted? *goes to look*)

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I love the_write_idea! *votes for that* ;) And so glad you got your LJ right back (I'm always glad for things that give you the chance to undo when it's something major like that, meep! O_O ;) ) ♥!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I undid it right away. Phew! :D

Cool, so far I'm liking that name the best. &hearts

[xxrachiefishxx.livejournal.com]

the_write_idea is awesome :) I like it!
