TAKE A MINUTE


Fanciful Creature



Wait A Minute!

Got A Minute?  Write~

OK, here goes!

*  Close Eyes and Grab a Book, any book any format, The Autobiography of Donovan The Hurdy  Gurdy Man by Donovan Leitch.


Open and read one sentence or phrase, (p. 153).

** "Sky of Blue and Sea of Green."



Write, no thought no plot, for 60 seconds

Quit!

What did you get?



I got: 

How about turning the tables?  Sky of Green and Sea of Blue?

I see sea creatures, sharks and fish and sea turtles.

I see emerald green leaves....

That's All Folks~


*** "....green of summers...."
 

It's fun just to write real fast like a printer~ I  mean "sprinter."


"Songwriters sometimes sketch in the lyric with any old line and come back to it later," Donovan 



* "Ah, but I may as well try and Catch the Wind"



Key Word: Writing
