Creativity Ideas

Well, I didn't post yesterday, but I did write about three pages, so I can't feel too bad. Today, though, I've not written a darn thing. I wanted to stay up and write something tonite, but I'm simply too tired, and I know I have a long week ahead of me.

So, here is a creative idea that's been kicking around in the back of my head. When you're lookig for an idea for a story, try switching some familiar words around and see what you get.

Some examples:

a "Sprite Can", or a can of soda, could become a "Can Sprite", or a little fairly that lives in a bottle.

A "teddy bear", your favorite stuffed animal, becomes a "bear teddy", a frilly nightgown with paw prints all over it.

a "cell phone", your communication device, becomes a "phone cell", a jailhouse somehow centered around phones.

Just some ideas to help spark creativity.

New Dedication

Well, let's see if this blog still works. I've gotten back into writing in my "spare" time...ha ha ha ha...excuse me, 2008 here, ROTFLMA...and I figure the best way to get into it is to write every day, which means the days you don't see a post here, is a day I'm actually working on one of my writings. WOW, was that a run-on sentence, or WHAT?
Anyways, my first piece that I'm putting out there is going to be a submission for MorriganBooks, which is currently accepting applications for their new anthology. I've got a pretty decent story lined up so far, so I look forward to finishing it.
TTFN!
