Budding Ideas (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/610770-Budding-Ideas Another amusement of mine is to go through dictionaries (medical ones in particular) and pick out random words. And then I'll assign them new meanings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Orbicular--The path a deflating airship makes when a gas envelope inside suddenly bursts. *Hordeolum--Damage to one's flooring and carpets due to attacking...[Read Full Post] Fri, 09 Dec 2011 01:35:18 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/741374 *Guns and Llamas *Scrapbooking for Hamsters *Teen Stockbroker *Popular Mustard *Unaffordable Homes *Antarctica Bride *Komodo Dragons for Kids *Black Widow Bridal *Stolen Cars Quarterly *Suburban Sprawl Weekly *Frou-Frou Decor *Poison Ivy Gardener *Manure Monthly *Better Radish *Cooking with Frankenstein *Extre...[Read Full Post] Fri, 09 Dec 2011 01:01:28 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/741369 Directions: Open a dictionary randomly. Pick a word (the long ones are better for this). Write 2-4 sentences using the chosen word in the first one. The words in bold are the ones I chose. ********************************************************** The zeppelin possessed an integument of weatherproofed canvas.

Whatever, whoever was in its depths was still alive. It was up the her to finish the victim off. After all, there was no coming back from the Well once you went into it. Her hand brushed the cold stone rim. The icy sour breeze shifted...[Read Full Post] Sun, 05 Feb 2006 13:24:06 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/404772 All right, these following ideas are straight out of my notebook. Many a night I've sat out on my front porch, scribbling away. Thought I'd share a page or two with everyone. Tell me if any of these sound good. ************************************************* An idyllic romantic scene with two young lovers sitting quietly together. Lots of flowers in pastel colours and all that jazz. Cupid is taking aim at them, his bow is drawn. But in the background of the scene is a jilted lover who is t...[Read Full Post] Fri, 27 Feb 2004 22:53:26 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/279613 Yet another story inspired by one of my drawings. Ephwyn is a dark-haired winged beauty who's unable to fly. Why? When she was younger, she was disrespectful to a powerful sorceress. Her youth and ignorance got her cursed. She was made unable to fly. Such a cruel fate for one like Ephwyn. Sadly, she's been unable to save herself from this curse. ...[Read Full Post] Sat, 22 Nov 2003 00:29:43 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/267028 The idea for Agatha also came from one of my drawings. She's a gargoyle woman. In her world, the humans and the gargoyles don't get along very good. In fact, they rather hate each other. But Agatha is different. She's been blessed with a heart of compassion and she's able to see both sides of the story. One of her favorite things to do...[Read Full Post] Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:49:10 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/267026 Elendar is a half-human, half-catlike creature. She lives in a fairly large town and works in the binding section of a printing press. It's a simple life for this young single mother. She has one daughter who is a merry-begot (was conceived on a Midsummer's festival). She lives with her widowed aunt and is the sole provider in the household. On Elendar&...[Read Full Post] Sat, 22 Nov 2003 00:01:50 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/267025 I used to have the novel-in-progress of Julia's tale in my port. But, over time, I kinda lost interest in her. I think the main reason for that was... she had no depth. Her character had no real personality. So now I'm going to try to give her a makeover. Here goes: Julia was desperately trying to be a normal Victorian-era teenager. She...[Read Full Post] Thu, 24 Jul 2003 23:25:22 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/250930 Aahh, yes... Kymber. I remember starting her story way back in high school. She had such promise at the time. Kymber was the main character in a fantasy story that revolved around unicorns. You see, it started when Kymber's dad announced one night at dinner that the whole family would be moving within a week. Well, she freaked out and ran away th...[Read Full Post] Thu, 24 Apr 2003 00:28:09 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/238599 Destiny Rose is the name of a character who started out as a joke. I'd always wanted to do a parody of those "bodice-ripping" romance novels. You know the type, the ones with the manly men on the covers and the women with their boobs halfway exposed doing some kind of tai-chi move on the guy. Anyway, Destiny Rose is the classic noblewoman ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 04 Feb 2003 01:46:58 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/225345 Acacia is the name of an outcast princess caught between two warring kingdoms. Why is she outcast? It's a bit of a story. Let me tell you.... It was a mythical land torn between two royal families who both wanted to rule. The Red Rose family were easily identifiable by their shared characteristic. They all had blood-red hair. Every last one of the...[Read Full Post] Sun, 19 Jan 2003 00:17:31 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/221645 Cronus, being locked away underneath the sea, had one more of his offspring in his belly. Zeus had forgotten a sibling! It was a woman named Enosa. She was angry at being left behind. Her anger grew so much over the years that it manifested into substance and became a knife that she used to cut open her prison and escape. In doing so, she slew her father...[Read Full Post] Thu, 24 Apr 2003 00:14:48 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/221467
