Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Ive always had the urge to make something in the creative space im just not sure what to start with or what to try?

Ive debated on making something like a book or game but then im reminded im terrible at writing due to dyslexia. Ive also wanted to make a comic but i cant draw that well, and ive wanted to make games but that requires so much time and skills i dont have sadly.

Is there something in particular i should try or focus on, what would you all advise i do? and why so.

  • Poetry, since it's writing but less than a book
  • Photography (and that's no shade, i love it, but it has levels and can definitely be the simplest thing to get into)
  • For textiles? Knitting

Cooking is also pretty creative and food is something you need to do to survive.

As for cooking, it could also be worth videos of the process or other pertinent elements, as well as blog posts.
