ONE WORD.

I remember when I was little, my sister Coral and I used to play a game where we would give each other about a minute to create and tell a story to the other. For some reason I remember doing this in the kitchen, most likely because we used the microwave as a timer. Ready Set Go! It was always really fun, but after a while it was hard to think of different stories because my mind would always jump to the same place. The game could have been a little easier, and have had a longer lifespan, if we had only given each other something to get our mind light bulbs to lite.

Which is why I was so excited to find this new site that I absolutely love: oneword.com using my other new internet friend Stumble. Basically the point of the site is that you write as much as you can in only sixty seconds using the one word they give you as inspiration. When your time is up you finish the sentence you were working on and submit your work.

The site doesn't let you create your own log in, so if you want to keep track of your submissions you have to do so on your own. Which is why I've created this blog. There you can see what I come up with and hopefully I keep up with it and do it everyday. I'd really like to see what other's come up with as well, so anyone reading this, feel free, if you'd like, to copy and paste your submissions in a comment on the new blog (that way you can keep track of your stuff too!).

The mind is a pretty fascinating thing, and it's amazing to see where it can take you, and what it can create. This writing exercise is kinda like dreaming in a way, you're pretty much making it all up as you go, and you have no control over where the story will take you, you just gotta ride it out and see.

Pretty cool, and best of all, it only takes a minute!
