Write Beyond Ordinary



We take everyday items for granted.  Imagine the creative minds behind them.

Think zipper.  Did Mr. Zipper, consider a solution to keep the wind away more a button could?  Did he happen upon railroad tracks?   Then an "Aha" moment struck?

The paper clip could have evolved from an orthodontist tired of bending one more wire. He twisted, turned it and tossed it on his desk.  Then he collected his paper work together instead of straightening teeth.

Feathers inspired the notion of Velcro. How did the key or safety pin arrive for use?  Someone became frustrated with burned fingers and designed the coffee collar.

Discomfort has produced an intrigue with problem solving.  The creativity of the human spirit amazes.

Creative Write:   What will you invent today in writing that moves you beyond ordinary?  Ask yourself a series of "What ifs" and see where the writing flows.
