What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?

i feel like this is a descent question i guess.

    Takes time. I always wanted to be part of r/writingprompts but I would see a new prompt and the there would be a novel written about that prompt 30 seconds later. I can type pretty well but that is out of my league.

      The way Reddit works is that the first commenter with a decent response gets all the karma, so yeah people rush it. It’s good practice for writing under a tight time constraint though as you go through the entire cycle of planning to draft to editing in only 30 minutes - 2 hours.

      You get better with time and you’ll be surprised as to how quickly you can improve after doing dozens of them. Here’s my WP archive for reference, the oldest responses at the end of the “archive 1” pdf (from 8 years ago) I laugh at today but the skills I learned there carry over to the recent ones.
