There's a site I've linked to elsewhere on my site that I really like. It's called oneword. They give you one word, and you write whatever that word sparks you to write for one minute. WHen the time is up, you tidy up your typos if you need to (I always need to) and post it on the site if you want to. The word today was "alarm." Here's what I wrote: The alarm screamed through the entire building, waking anyone who might have been asleep on the job. It was so loud that some might have even wet their pants. Cynthia ran like hell around the corner, slapping the lock overrides as she went so that the others could get out. She didn't want anyone to burn, no matter what they'd done to deserve it. |
