A good Thursday to everyone! I think that everyone needs a kick in the butt at times to get back to writing (I sure do!) and think that we could all use some jump-starts! That will be the central theme of this week’s Thursday Thirteen.
For those who don’t know, this is a common writing excersize where you get a jump-start sentence and use that to write down a few pages or paragraphs. It just helps you get the juices flowing.
Do *you* have something you wrote based on these? Have a good jump-start sentence of your own? Please let me know in the comments.
Thirteen jump-start sentences by Aaron Crocco
1. My key wouldn’t unlock the door, which is odd because it worked just an hour ago. 2. I couldn’t take it anymore and knew jumping seemed to be my only option. 3. The power went out just as I was ready to hit save. 4. Turning around, I saw the Mustang slam into her. 5. Why couldn’t I tell her that I loved her? 6. I knew death was only a moment away. 7. My life was about to change but I wondered why now. 8. I wanted to hit him but I couldn’t. 9. I prayed. 10. My legs burned from running for so long. 11. She had been gone so long that I couldn’t hear her voice anymore. 12. You should probably bring him along. 13. Even if no one listens, I feel like I did my best. |

What a way to get writing. I had to concentrate to get through the list because I got sidetracked with the stories in my head. I hope all the writing teachers out there are using exercises like this. Happy TT!
Would be fun to read stories that were jumpstarted by those sentences! I usually just start rambling when I write because I forget all my great inspirations that I had thought of at inopportune times when i couldn’t jot them down. 🙂
Happy TT!
Great great list!!!
Very nice
Mines up, happy thursday
If you keep working like that you’ll be able to put them all together. Happy TT
