Next Word - writercize #104

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
