Jump Write In

Going to the fair was always an exciting time for me when I was a child. I was fascinated with the glitter of the lights and the barkers calling out to the passing crowds.  I always avoided the rides where the excited screams and yells of the passengers warned me that it was not a ride for the faint-hearted.  For your writing warm up today, imagine an exciting amusement park for writers only.  Describe the rides that would make a person scream with delight and fear at the same time. Perhaps the buckets in the Ferris wheel are shaped like inkwells, and instead of an octopus ride there is a ride that takes you through a maze of  paperwork,  and the house of horrors is full of agents saying, “Needs more work. ” What type of games would one find along the midway? What are the barkers calling out to the crowds of writers as they pass along the way.  Create a character to attend the fair. What is his or her name and which rides would he or she be attracted to? Who would he or she meet along the way?

Use creative license and most of all HAVE FUN!

Until next time,

Walk in beauty, write life with passion!
