I often go to oneword.com to loosen up the writing muscles. That's a good idea, actually - I only now realized it. Writing is an activity that requires endurance and focus and practice, much like running does (well, except it isn't aerobic or cardio or anything like that) so it only makes sense to limber up first, instead of jumping in cold.
Oneword.com is a website that provides a word every day, with a little box in which to write, and a 60 second countdown. Once you click 'write', the word is revealed, and you have 60 seconds in which to write something inspired by the word of the day. Then you can choose to have your blurb posted on the website, or not, as you like.
Today, the word is 'supreme', and I wrote about pizza. Deep, huh? Deep in profundity, that is. I didn't mean deep-dish Boston-type pies. Though I could have written about those, to be sure. I would have said that they aren't to my taste at all; that regular crust is the way to go, and the more sauce and cheese there is, the better it is.
Other posts on the website talked about God, and the supreme court. I felt very... intelligent with my pizza contribution. What would you have written about, if you had 60 seconds to write about 'supreme'?
solitude + inspiration
When I saw your blog title, I immediately wondered what project Tess was going to tell us about that was "supreme" to another.
ReplyDeleteNow I know that regular crust pizza is supreme to the deep-dish variety. :o)
Glad you like oneword.com. Quite frankly, that website intimidates me to no end.
I think we should create a website call onewordcaptcha.com. Instead of "real" words, we'll put up word verification words and give people 60 seconds to tell us what they mean.
