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.
“His head was spinning like _____.”
I’ll give you an example to get you started:
“His head was spinning like a windmill in a hurricane.”

His head was spinning like a:
Ten cent top that just won’t stop. Neptune moon doing a disco move. Drunk firefly in the middle of july. Altimeter on an Asian Air flight. Teenager’s head at a topless bar.
(from Donna Kossow)
1) His head was spinning like a merry-go-round His thoughts in constant motion up and down
2) His head was spinning like an airplane propeller What should he do, should he or should he not tell her
3) Like the record on the turntable, his head was spinning Confusion set to music, was he losing or winning
4) His head was spinning like the wheel of fortune wheel Could it really happen, could this be for real
His head was spinning like a merry-go-round His thoughts in constant motion up and down
His head was spinning like :
– a Texas twister
– the old window fan
– like Cragars on a hot rod
– a 45 rpm record
– like an old water well
His head was spinning like a washing machines spin cycle.
His head was spinning like a Nascar winner in victory lane.
His head was spinning like a bobbin on a sewing machine.
His head was spinning like my reel on my fishing pole.
His head was spinning like Wile E. Coyote actually knocked him out!
Wishing everyone a very healthy, happy, loving & prosperous New Year 😉
his head was spinning like
– a college freshman leaving a frat party
– a bull rider on a short count
– a basketball on a rim
– a snowflake in a blizzard
His head was spinning like___ the gyro on the Jupiter bound space probe you know, the one called Juno. an anemometer whirling in a gale. a paper pinwheel in the breeze. a Duncan yo-yo in a sleeper trick. a wooden top wobbling before it’s stop. an artist with nightmares, managing his affairs. a political pudit in retreat. a man on the brink after one too many drinks. a disco ball, dancing light across the wall. the “Tasmanian Devil” in the cartoon. the world to “The Fool on the Hill.” a Turkish whirling dervish from Istanbul. a dancer in a pirouette. the wheel on a stationary exercise bike. the blade in a blender.

a low tide to the sea
