Word Prompt
Set the timer for 10 minutes.

Take an idea and write images that come to mind. Try to engage the senses: touch, sight, hearing, taste, smell. That is, if your concept could be touched, what would it be: rough sandpaper, raw silk, a baby's downy hair? If it could be tasted, what food (or nonfood!) would it be? What color is it? Is it a ting or a gong?

Harder: Pick an abstract concept like love, hate, hope, fear, good, evil, kindness, jealousy, joy, guilt, loyalty, remorse, greed, wisdom, beauty, gentleness, fairness, courage, patience.

Medium: Pick a physical state like hunger, tiredness, sadness, contentment, exhaustion

Easier: Or pick a noun like worm, coin, dragon, running shoe, T. Rex, maple leaf, dragonfly, dew, shark, Monarch butterfly, chocolate (in which case you can use the list you came up with last week). The less common the object, the more you'll stretch yourself to capture an image of it. (Don't hesitate to Google pictures of it!)
