Here's a cute little game.
Comment here telling me you want to play. Then I'll give you a word. You list off the first 10 or more things that come to you mind and I'll write you a little something using those words.
We were doing this in creative writing class. The teacher gave us a word and we made a list of words that came to our heads. It's some stream of conscious or something.
Here's an example:
Polka-dot
purple
Barney
dinousours
T-rex
Little Foot and The Land Before Time DVDs
smile
Toshiya
toy tank
And that's it. Someone did this in class using polka-dot to start with and the first thing that he thought of was bullet holes. I worry for my generation. :)
