Writing+Ideas

1) Play descriptive Taboo: Pick an object in your living room, then list the five most obvious words you'd need to describe it. Then write a vivid description of the object without using those words. Repeat with an object from each room of your house ​ Object: Armchair 5 Words: comfortable, cushioned, warm, cosy, soft Discription: The armchair is made of milky brown wood. It is topped by two snowy-white pillows; one as a seat and one as a backrest. It faces the front door of the living room. Sitting in it makes one feel strangely esctatic. It gives the person being seated in it a homely feeling. Sometimes, it is even more relaxing than my bed itself. ​

2) Take song lyrics and write the background story to tell the song's inspiration. The song lyrics are in the above file. =) The background story of this song is about how things that may seem impossible can actually be accomplished.

Thes are the two examples given by the singer... 1) The singer's father was so tough and strong to him that he though that it was impossible to make his father cry. Yet when his grandfather died, he was proved to be wrong.

2) Then came the time when his friend was involved in a car accident and the doctor told him that he would never be able to walk again. Yet he kept on believing that he would and by the time they graduated, he could stand up again.

The moral behind the song is to tell us that although things may seem undoable, if we believe hard enough and try hard enough, there would be no such thing as the word "impossible". In other words, anything is possible if you believe. 3) Pick five words at random. Using a thesaurus, find an alternative for each word. Write a story using all 10 of them.

1) Crave-Covet 2) Witty-Facetious 3) Coincidence-Accident 4) Troublesome-Problematic 5) Anchor-Clinch

4) Write four different opening paragraphs based on the title Sunlight on my window. The paragraphs are in this file! =) 5) If you could have any magical power for only one hour, what would it be?

If I had a choice, I would like to have the power to make anything. With that power, I could create other powers as well and I will not end up miserable because I changed my mind all of a sudden and wanted a new power.

The two boys were none other then the sons of the most famous boxer in the world. The names of the two boys were Henry and Humfry and the name of their father was " The respectable Harold the third" of the tiny village in the middle of the plains of Africa.

10) Write a scene without using the word “the.”

A candle is lit in between two drastically-pillowed armchairs. Its flickering flame, although tiny, gives a homely warmth to all who are present. An elderly woman stumbles clumsily out of a room with both hands full. One hand is cutching a lantern. Her other hand is holding an umbrella which she uses to support her overweight body. She struggle towards that same flickering little candle which seems impossible for her to reach what with her old and frail form. However, she perseveres. Five metres, four metres, three metres, two metres, one metre.... She finaly reaches it and manages a broad smile before blowing out both candle and lantern with what breath that she still has left and collapses into a chair. She has earned a peaceful and dark environment for her little snooze.
