| An opinion or two...or three or four... |
PROMPT January 3rd Make a list of 20 random things (nouns). Try as hard as you can to make each item on your list as unrelated to the other items as possible. If your muse moves you, you’re welcome to add whatever commentary you like. A list of 20 unrelated things that are nouns. At first I thought this would be easy. But it's not! Who knew? As I worked through my list I realized something else. Each noun on the list must be unrelated to another noun on the list. But if all these nouns are on the list doesn't that make them related? Related simply because they are unrelated?   Some would say, YES and some would say NO. And then a discussion would occur. And then a heated discussion would occur. And then a debate. And then an argument. And then screaming. And then eye-rolling. And then complete silence because no one is talking to one another. In the end all hell could break loose. Just because of a little 20-item list of unrelated nouns...that, in my opinion become related.  So, here goes: 1. Soap 2. Rug 3. Fireplace 4. Cat Stand 5. Printer 6. Push Pin 7. Razor 8. Book 9. Bok Choy 10. Incense 11. Chalk 12. Blanket 13. Star 14. Avocado 15. Statue 16. Geode 17. Rubberband 18. Gravel 19. Gasoline 20. Paint There you have it. At least I think you have it. An interesting note here. This exercise forced me to think outside my office and my house and my neighborhood and my city and my...well, you know what I mean. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I think this could be a great warm-up writing exercise. Except I would do it in reverse. I would start with one noun and then add 20 related nouns. And if I were writing fiction I would start with one character and then add 20 nouns describing that character. Hmmm...gives me an idea for future warm-ups. Who knew? |
