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.
“The sun sank like _______.”
I’ll give you an example to get you started:
“The sun sank like a bad gambler’s bank account balance.”
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!
Thanks to Steve, Andrew Clayton, Roger Vines, August, Janet Goodman, Nila Kay, Steven, Jerry Childers, Willa Thompson, Cathy, and Matt Martoccio for their great additions to Wordplay Thursday #24 (read it here)! Great job!
