Paul Penton and writing…
Paul Penton was kind enough to stop by and let me know of another writing site. So I copied a bit and here comes: www.objectwriting.com
Clashing metaphors
A metaphor is “something used, or regarded as being used, to represent something else”… so pick a word and set your clock for 5 minutes [it might not take that long] and use the 5 senses, for example a license plate tastes like a….. dentists drill! See where it goes. Stuck for a word? Try the Random Word Generator at coyotecult.com
Another enjoyable old fashioned practise: Choose the Right Word S.I. Hayalawa, which a friend gave me. Sleep does overcome me now, or tries hard to and hey, it’s only 12:19 AM.
I originally was going to write about the writer’s response to a blank page. I was loading up this site without a clue what to write. So of course a blank page was what I’d face. In a way it’s what everyone faces every day. Will we take time to notice? Will we take time to really look in our mirror? Or will we let motions of everyday living fill in the blanks?
Our blank page provides the opportunity to choose: can today becopme a masterpiece? A time to experience or invite inner peace? A time for action to get others to join together for peace? Will a thoughtful poem emerge to pull heart strings, or will the unexpected fill heart with joy? Your choice fill in the blanks, and don’t let the cat sit too close to the keyboard.
And just at that moment, when I half contemplated what to write, I noticed that Paul Penton left a comment. My mind started turning. Do go visit his site as you can find plenty of writing ideas for all occassions!
