Recycling an oldie but goodie tonight!
Next word is a simple word association game - I give you a word; you give me the next word you think of. Elaborate if you wish, or leave me wondering. It's a quick, easy fix to get your mind rolling when you're stuck with writer's block. It's also really fun to see how different minds interpret the same word.
writercize: Give me the first, instinctual word (or short phrase) that comes to mind for each of the following five words.
- window
- bicycle
- postcard
- style
- bob

writercize response:window - soul (as in the eyes are the windows to the soul)
bicycle - tandem
postcard - ideal (a view of the picture-perfect - that which is true and beautiful to the tourist, but perhaps not as realistic to the resident's day to day - a vacationer's dream)
sparkle - flirt
bob - Vogue
here you go
