Everyone need practice with quick thinking. Sometimes, trying to out-random your friends at lunch just doesn't cut it. So what I'm going to do is have my mom give me some totally random topic, and I'm going to write about the first thing that comes to my head. The trick? I can only hit the backspace key to fix spelling and typing errors. Let the quick thinking begin!
Topic: Salsa (???)
My responce: Dancing, gracefully as the dip. Swaying, like when being tossed in the trash. Not knowing, what step comes next!
Topic: Lipstick
My responce: 27 brightned shades, costing all but half my pay, why did I have to babysit: all of them being used as crayons on the wall! :(
Topic: Phone
My responce: Texing my way through class, now thats the way to live. Not paying any care but to my friends. The flying of my fingers accross the keys........ that is, till I give the phone back
Topic: Fish
My responce: That's what I am, in my underwater kingdom. Flipping through the water, feeling more free then a bird. As I swim up for air, my arm brushed up along side a fish, and he seems to be telling me something. A secret, perhaps, of the ocean and its wonders.
Topic: Grass
My responce: The smell of a freshly mowed lawn. The feel and color of the morning dew.... that is until SPLAT! all over your brand-new jeans
Topic: Teeth
My responce: Ping! You flash that grin that gets them every time, like a small dog begging. They ask where you got your shoes, and you tell them nowhere. They ask if thats a store, and you say no. This goes on for about an hour until they finally leave with a grin as big as what you started with.

Can I just say, in a completely unbiased way.. you're so awesome! ( ok, yeah I am slightly biased.. but you are)
ReplyDeleteI'm with your mom...you rock. Did you come up with this exercise yourself or read about it somewhere or maybe do it at school first? Such a great way to develop writing skills and to learn to follow your gut when writing.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
