Welcome to Wordplay Thursday!
“I feel as lucky 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 feel as lucky as ________.”
I’ll give you an example to get you started:
“I feel as lucky as a man on his honeymoon.”
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!
Want to play one (or more) of your songs for a real, all-up-in-the-middle-of-the-biz music publisher? I have a great opportunity coming up for you- CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN GET YOUR SONG IN THE EARS OF A MUSIC PUBLISHER!
This month is Adoption August at Songwriting Pro! The short story is that every penny you spend on the Songwriting Pro store (minus the store’s fees) will go towards bringing two orphans home from China. Help yourself become a better songwriter while helping two boys join the Baxter family- how cool is that?
