Welcome to Wordplay Thursday!

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 visiting team got beat like _____.”

I’ll give you an example to get you started:

“The home team got beat like a Klansman at a Jay Z concert.”

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 Linda Keser, Chris, Matt Martoccio, Mark Johnson, Eric Tingstad, Joe Sly, Ken Matthiessen, Michael Klenda, Nick S., Carrie, Will, Carol Katterjohn and everyone else for your great additions to Wordplay Thursday #109 (read it here)! Great job!

Wordplay Thursday is a great way to the get the creative juices flowing and get some songs started. But what about finishing songs? Sometimes that can be more difficult. That’s why I’ve written “Finish Your Song! 20 Ways To Overcome Creative Roadblocks.” Click here to find out how to finish more songs faster and better. Or click on the image below. Thanks!
