Writes a story every day for a year
Today I am thanking Sean- another mentor to me this year.
She’d built a huge pile of words. They were a good pile of words, but she wasn’t sure exactly what to do with them. One day the word architect visited. He chiselled off a word here and there.
She watched apprehensively, he didn’t rearrange much. But when he’d finished, she realised the word pile now had turrets and a door she’d never noticed before.
Jasper was an explorer. He trudged through thousands of words just find a new phrase.
Tear sucking
Wonder deficit
Eye Flakes
Teeth bending
Biting optimism
Wilted love
Sleeping gusto
and his favourite
giggle nubs
He felt his work was a serious matter but no one else seemed to agree. They laughed their way through his sold out seminars. Years later, after Jasper died. A memorial was built for him. They were the happiest and most literate town in the world. It turned out laughing was a serious matter.
Today I considered my tools: words.
I’d been playing a game where I come up with disgusting phrases made from seemingly innocuous words (eg. crumbly tongue, juicy toilet and toe milk)
Georgia tells me she hates reading comic sans. Wiki tells me the euro used to have eyes:
