Write Wild



"When we trust our creativity we encounter a supreme kind of enjoyment - an amazement at the natural unfolding of life beyond our ordinary way of looking at things."
- Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche




Toss inhibitions.  

Flap into a flounce of ideas. 

Blaze and brody. 

Trip with triads of words.







Choose two unrelated nouns and an abstract noun. Ask questions of the nouns and search for verbs to energize the sentences. See the examples below. Wing it!  Bounce and Jounce. Elevate!


Stimulate your synapses.

Linguini

Lingerie

Laughter

How does laughter indulge?  Languish in linguini. Linger with lingerie.

Monkeys

Magnolias

Magic

Submerge into the magic. Let monkeys clamber into magnolias.

Nutmeg

Navigation

Nostalgia

Nutmeg beckons nostalgia.  Where will navigation sail the story?

Plums

Potholes

Possibilities

Plums juice into purple.  Potholes jostle tires.  Possibilities persist into hydrangeas.



Ramble. Rattle. Roar.  Set yourself free. After you have adapted your words with the above prompts, try your own set.  

Do a freewrite to notice how your creativity evolves. Write wild to unravel ideas.
