Something New!

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. "
~ Buddha

"All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope." ~ Winston Churchill

"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug!" ~ Mark Twain



I found something new.. Or at least new to me... I know it has probably been around for ages and eons and I just discovered it.. but it is called One Word- They give you one word and one minute to write about it....yes!.. as in 60 seconds.. you better hurry.. no dilly dallying around here.. You click go and you have one word at the top of the page.... a cursor and a timer set for sixty seconds.. I would call it an excellent free write exercise.. I read through the archives.. there is an extreme amount of talent out there.. Thanks ThomG ...from the blog Surface Tension... for leading me to something new and interesting.. I did yesterdays word just to practice ....then I went back and read through many of the others...it is interesting to see where different peoples minds flow when they have only a few seconds to write about a random word.. I'm sure I'll be trying One word again and again... You should check out both ThomG's blog and One Word.. Both are fun! I especially like anything that focuses on words.. I like one word prompts .. and they have had some great words over the time period that I looked at..


One Word~ Permission- 10-15-2009

why would I need PERMISSION?... aren't I grown?..
Who died and made you MY boss? I was just saying I was going...
don't even think I was asking if I could..... because I CAN!!
I don't need any one's PERMISSION!

Unconscious Mutterings.. On Sunday Afternoon!

"My worst fear is that I'll end up living in some run-down duplex on Wilshire wearing pants hiked up to my nipples and muttering under my breath."
~ Richard Dreyfuss

“And the muttering grew to a grumbling; / And the grumbling grew to a mighty rumbling;/ And out of the houses the rats came tumbling.” ~ Robert Browning

"My nerves are still frazzled. I can't talk without stuttering, muttering and mumbling."
~Mark Low

Unconscious Mutterings

Free association is described as a "psychonanalytic procedure in which a person is encouraged to give free rein to his or her thoughts and feelings, verbalizing whatever comes into the mind without monitoring its content." Over time, this technique is supposed to help bring forth repressed thoughts and feelings that the person can then work through to gain a better sense of self.

That's an admirable goal, but for the purposes of this exercise, we're just hoping to have a little fun with the technique. Each week I'll post ten words to which you can respond to with the first thing that comes to mind.
