 Day to day stuff....a memoir without order. |
 Imagination is described by Webster as...The act or power of forming a mental image of something not present to the senses in reality. Albert Einstein said "Logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you everywhere."  I never realized it until I read it somewhere but there are ways to boost one's imagination: Create a visual journal Draw whatever you see for 15 minutes a day. You don't need to be an artist. Think like an artist Cut out pictures from magazines & piece them together to create an original image. Listen to Bach Close your eyes while playing your favorite music. Or listen to the sounds of nature on a CD or in the great outdoors. Play word games Try thinking of as many words as you can that begin with MAR...or you pick. Daydream Let your mind wander, or focus on a single object & study its characteristics.     Everyone has a story....here's mine.....c ** Image ID #1701066 Unavailable **  |
| Use the following words in your entry today: tumultuous, navigate, journey, and gargantuan. I'm not sure where this is going to take me but here is what came to mind right away. When I first joined WDC, I loved entering the Daily Flash Fiction Contest. Many days the prompt would be seemingly unrelated words you had to use in your entry. I developed a system. I would list the words, then under each word, I would write things that popped into my head without overthinking. So, I will do that for this prompt: tumultous relationships junk drawer bad housekeeping navigate boating life to the bathroom in the dark journey trip funeral outing with friends gargantuan overwhelming feat tarantula pine tree After writing down all the things I could think of, I would look over the words for connections, something that might be common to all four words. For example...A tumultuous room results in a gargantuan journey to navigate to the bathroom in the dark. With this sentence in mind, I would write my story. |
