Here’s a writing prompt for you. It’s a simple fill-in-the-blank. You can use one word or several. Feel free to get as crazy, genre-appropriate, or as imaginative as you want. The point is to get the creative juices flowing. And it’s a good thing to dig deeper, so don’t stop at the first idea that hits you. Try coming up with at least five things.
“That’s as rare as _____________________.”
I’ll give you one example to get you started:
“That’s as rare as a cantaloupe cobbler.”
I’d love to hear what you come up with, so please share in the comments. Oh, and please keep your posts below an R-rating. It’s a family show, after all!
SHOUT OUT!
Thanks to Patrick Beck, Topaz, Michael August, Terry Smith, Andrew Clayton, Jackie Cook, Doug Folkins, and Mark for their great additions to Wordplay Thursday #6 (read it here)! Great job!
