Just Write
Take a pair of sentences like two slices of freshly baked bread, conjure a filling in as few words as possible and then leave a comment to direct our appetites to sample it.Quality not essential. Originality not required. Wit and wisdom negotiable. Go on, surprise yourself, just write.
How can you get from:
A finger curled around the door
to
the leaves had never looked so limp.
or maybe
It was a week since the window smashed
to
manners cost nothing.
or even
The key lay in the grass
to
'You didn't have to do that.' ?
Wombat: *sneaks in through the window*
Mimes asked me to contribute to this one so I figured I'd not put something on top of her post and instead slip this in here.
So here we go. Let's start with
"It was a dark and stormy night. Again."
to
"It was certainly worth writing home about, but to whom?"
or perhaps
"Never trust a man with only half a smile"
to
"His guitar wasn't weeping nearly as gently as it could have been"
And why not
"These pretzels are making me thirsty"
to
"The door was locked from the inside"
Hope you enjoy. I now return you to your previously scheduled blogpost already in progress
And if you have a suggestion of a sentence or two that might bring inspiration to others, let us know.
