We all have characters from books or stories we love. Take one of those beloved characters and turn them into a villain. Write something about their nastiest deeds. 2. An alien has invited you to dinner. What's on the menu? 3. Everyone likes to get creative with pet names. Make a list of 5 names you've given your beloved pets. I don't remember a time when my household, childhood or adult, didn't have a pet. Dog, cat, hamster, bird, fish, and anything else that found it's way into our house. And I'm one of those people that brings home every stray thing out there. I remember one time as a kid, I brought home a dog I found in my friend's neighborhood. Remembering that I had just been scolded about bringing home strays, I decided I could sneak the dog into the house. I figured it could live in my closet, and I could smuggle food and water into the closet. I thought I had it all worked out. So...I brought the dog home...and...as you may have guessed my parents caught on right away. So it was the dog house for me! Luckily my mom had seen the dog before and knew where it lived. She returned the dog to a very relieved and happy family. I'm still like that. We always have a dog or a cat...or whatever else. Good thing my husband likes pets! And every pet needs a name, right? We always make a game out of names. We toss crazy stuff back and forth until something "just sounds right". Some of our best names include: 1. Fitzroy Gigglebottom - our tabby cat 2. Maximillian Von Snausage - our boston terrier 3. Jasper Aloysius - our other boston terrier 4. Regis Philbin - our teacup toy poodle 5. Cheddah - an orange tabby cat I loved dearly, and yes, my handle here on writing.com Of course there have been other names in the past. And there will be new names in the future. It's a game we will always play. |
