Writing Exercise Wednesday #20

WEW #20
 
Prompt: Use words that have multiple meanings – can be a name, place, thing.
I used Paris and Amber – names of people, a place and a thing.  Or words that can be used as a noun and a verb like farm, talk, crash and use it both ways.

Thursday Result of WEW #19

WEW #19

Prompt: This exercise is about writing one long sentence – adding to your subject continuously by using “who.”  For example: My friend Mary, who thinks she’s prettier even though she’s not, who flaunts her new clothes in front of me, who does have lovely hair even though I wouldn’t tell her that, who must be first in line no matter what it’s for (even for a shot!)… Hopefully it’s clear what I mean.

Result:

The gospel according to Mathieu – who’s my brother – who thinks he’s the boss of me – who hides behind corners and doorways – who thinks cats and rabbits are stupid and only dogs rule – who can’t manage to eat even one brussels sprout or one broccoli tree when I’ve had to sit at the table until mine are all gone (thank heaven for dogs) – who insists I follow him everywhere as his personal Sherpa – who never knows when to shut up – who painted my room black with a red door when I was at a sleepover – who can’t seem to get more than a C in any subject – thinks that I have to obey him.

And as much as I love my brother – it’s time to rewrite his gospel – according to Mary. That’s ME.

Thursday Result of WEW #18

WEW #18

Prompt: Use what words you want or as many as you want – or you can work on alliteration.  You can add your own words as well or pick another letter and do another group of words.  Anything goes!

laughter, loss, love, loot, lazy, languorous, loopy, light, lemon, lost, lump, lips, Lucifer, languish, large, lackey, lit, lamp, luck, lounge

Result:

Lucky took a wrong turn and went left instead of right. He languished on this unknown street. There was lots of loot in the store windows. There was laughter at the end of the cobblestone street. He lazily walked towards the sound, hands in pockets. He didn’t want to appear lost or loopy.

Lucky rounded the corner and spied a large group of kids, just like him. He lounged against the side of a stone building, waiting for an invitation.

He tied his untied shoe, flipped a penny in his palm and as luck would find Lucky, a small, shy girl approached him, licked her lips and smiled. Her eyes lit up and so did his. Hers was for the penny, his was for the girl.

I can't believe I did it again - late, late, late!  But better than never. Next week we'll do an exercise with alliteration.

WEW #17

Prompt: fireworks, caterwauling, peace

Result:

“Climb every mountain,” Aunt Pearl started singing.

“For the love and peace of Pete,” Grandma hollered.

I knew what was coming next. I climbed up into the chair with the burgundy blanket. I had my drink and a snack – I was ready for the fireworks to begin.

“Forge every stream,” Aunt Pearl continued.

“If you don’t quiet your caterwauling,” Grandma yelled, “I’ll quit it for ya.”

Grandpa leaned over to me. “Do ya got your earplugs?”

I opened my hand and showed them to him.

“Follow every rainbow…”

“Now!” Grandpa said.

We made it just in time for the last line and the high note.

Grandma scowled. “Pearl, you are gonna be the death of me yet.”
