Keeping your writing juices flowing like the brine from your Christmas turkey…

The Word Ladder

Pick a word. Any word.

Now pick another one. Again, any word.

Keep going. Just pick words, one after the other. Write them down. You’re not crafting a sentence, just a list. Do this until you hit fifteen or twenty words. Then use the final word as a prompt and craft a paragraph around it.

What does this do? It occupies your logical, critical left brain with a rote task so that your right brain can get creative without interference.
