Contest of Insults

One of my favorite creative exercises is trying to think like one of my dragons and insult someone.

Maybe you make noises like a gibber, or you have slugs in your brain. It should be easy to understand the intent of the insult and it should make everyone smile.

You are as big as a cattle, or your words pass like hot air over shit. It needs to be quick, sussinct and cutting, at least some of them.

Quit pecking like a hen at that or do not stalk like a puton around the house. All animal references but not terribly insulting.

Have birds pecked out your eyes? Can’t you tell this is leading up to something?

Send me ideas on the website, JuliaSchmeelk.com –  for insults or comments that fit my characters and world and I’ll pick some of the best and send out a few pieces of art. I’ll also put up the comments for everyone to admire in a later post. So be warned, your words are not private.
