Writing Taste Buds


The magic recipe to living out your boldest dreams: A pinch of delusion, a dash of audacity and a shot of courage. 
- Kirsty Spraggon

Similar to the comments on the cup above, writers have a variety of taste buds.  If you selected from an array of ingredients for your writing choices, what would you choose?

Here's a start down the cafeteria line.  Choose one of each or add your own.

A metaphor: The heart of an artichoke

Several action verbs: engorge, munch, swallow,  digest,

A detail: The tines of a fork flash and drip with dill sauce.

Two nouns of texture: tapioca, endive

If you must -
One adjective that astonishes the noun.

Sprinkle in a suppressed dream,  pepper with delusion,  the spice of audacity and a shot of courage.

Now, mix together, write for fifteen minutes and see where the taste buds take you.
