Welcome to Wordplay Thursday!
“I felt as ridiculous as _____.”
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.
And try to get IMAGERY in at least one of your plays.
“I felt as ridiculous as _____.”
I’ll give you an example to get you started:
“I felt as ridiculous as a donkey in a bathtub.”
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!
And thanks to everyone for your great additions to Wordplay Thursday #146 (read it here)! Great job!
God Bless and Enjoy the Journey,
Brent
