So there I was, working through some writing exercises, trying to get the old mind working. Things were going decently well, I guess. The “Describe ten things you see right at this moment” went fine. “Describe the street you grew up on” was a pretty good lesson in adjectives.
The juices were flowing, things were happening.
And then this happened: Describe a color in one word
What. The?
I don’t know….maybe I’m just tired but this writing exercise hit me all wrong. It flipped the snarky switch.
The first color I could think of was yellow.
One word to describe yellow? Pee.
There. Done.
Red. How about one word for that? Hmm…let me dig deep.
Blood.
Green?
Snot.
Blue?
Bruise.
Orange?
Is it wrong that the only orange thing I can think of is an orange?
Purple?
Yeah, you know what? This is a stupid exercise. I’m moving on….
But. . you’ve done a great service to the world. There is my writing lesson for tomorrow. . .
Lucky! Nooooo! Do not spread the torture!!!
Actually, it’s a pretty good writing exercise. It just hit me wrong or at the wrong time, I suppose.
Yellow- warm
Red- passionate
Green- secretive
Blue- relaxed
Purple- hip
See I can do it, without snarky.
I just got punked (or in the current vernacular…pwned) by my own brother……
:)
Well you got me back as I had to go wiki both to figure out what you meant…
