Do you need a map or a nap?
Is today a "dip" day where the energy of wings or fleet feet would help?
To push beyond your ennui, try a list of pairs. Ask a question. See what happens when you pair two items. Just permit free association to take over and don't judge or edit. Go as fast as you can and let your inspiration take you away.
Move until you have hit number 21.
Here's a start:
What do I need -
1 frosting or the cake
2 leaves or stays
3 trinkets or trades
4 bows or whens
5 bravery or a kite
6 milk or pencils
7 magic or mocha
8 salmon or a scream
9 tirades or tennis balls
10 singing or flames
11 doilies or disgrace
12 monkeyshines or darkness
13 fright or sherbert
14 bubbles or incubation
15 spindrift or tin foil
16 honey or pintos
17 radiance or a gum drop
18 clutter or a stun gun
19 meringue or perpetuity
20 bongo drums or a secret
21 yogurt or merriment
Then begin again with another question. Break away from ordinary with the questions also. Try rhyming.
What happens at twilight -
l bluebirds or howling
2 thirst or the worst
3 blood or floods
4 maybes or fleas
5 locks or kiddie blocks
6 freedom or kingdom
7 icicles or tricycles
8 harmony or charm
9 ridicules or barnacles
10 moonsbunnies or funny money
11 highways or one act plays
12 nickles or pickles
13 clay pots or knots
14 crowds or clouds
15 soup or droop
16 arrangements or endangerments
17 puddles or cuddles
18 rice or thrice
19 playmates or paperweights
20 mushrooms or classrooms
21 free will or a duck's bill
Creative Write: Try several questions for your 21 pairs. What does Friday sound like? Then try a freewrite mixing all the words.
