Here’s the exercise: on a piece of paper grid out 10 boxes by 10 boxes. by doing so, you’ll have 100 little squares just big enough to put 1 word in each. using the following instructions, put a word randomly into any of the 100 boxes. At the end, you’ll come up with some really funky 100-word prose/spoken word/word art that might or might not make any sense, but it’s cool creative prompt to get ya goin’!
1) someone you love
2) place where you grew up
3) name of a body of water
4) a body part you don’t like
5) 5 verbs
6) 5 adverbs
7) 5 nouns
This is what I came up with today 🙂
Chair underneath the immovable earth hurridly spinning while dizziness runs numbing wildly brown hat from where Marina meets the blue ocean. I laugh in peace even though life’s lamp is tossed in the pacific bay where cooking and cleaning inhabits the Raine of my mind’s resting place. I journey into the center of my soul gracefully stepping around my quietly everchanging mind – shoot the scene. I walk down the block of blood fearlessly spitting in the eye of a speeding car careening into undeniable murder by running over tummy after eyes over hearts where my life’s book ends.

wtf was that? there were some incredible examples read during the workshop, but i learned that this really didn’t make sense mostly because my mind was really random today. *sigh*
