I'm having a thought.....
In my grammar curriculum for this year, they threw in some pretty fun exercises. I was given nine interesting verbs and told to write one or two paragraphs containing those words. Instead, I wrote short stories with them. It was enjoyable, yet challenging.
I liked to look at the words and imagine them as how they might make something appear in my mind. I know, that was kind of a ramble, but if you're a writer, you'll understand ;) Unless...I'm just weird.
Anyway, here's an example of two words I was given and how I used them to describe how I saw them in my mind's eye:
'The northern lights cascaded across the cold night sky, pulsing their blue-green tendrils.'
So here's my thought (and the explanation of my post title):
I would like someone who reads my blog to post 5 to 9 out-of-the-ordinary verbs in a comment. Try make it so the verbs sort of coincide with each other. Then, I will do my best to use those words in a short story as a future 'short story' post.
The more comments, the better. I'll just write a story for each person's comment.
Thanks for reading!
Have a lovely night =)
Ooo, fun! :D
