Fun Day Friday – Emotions

Today's focus is going to be on emotions.  For our brainstorming session today, I'm going to give you all a word and then I want you to write down five emotions, phrases or words that it brings to mind to you right now. There are no right answers and these are just emotions or words that come to the forefront of your mind. No using thesaurus or dictionaries, this is just meant to get the juices flowing.

We'll start with an example:

Tear       – Sadness, Anger, Japan, Broken Heart, Hurt

Based on what I've experienced this week and seen around me, these are the five words, phrases that come to mind. Now you try with the following:

1)      Rainbow

2)      Water

3)      Time

4)      Family

5)      Plane

6)      Africa

7)      Heroine

8)      Hero

Ready? Get started and have fun with it. If you want, relate it to your current work in progress so that you can make this weekend productive for your writing. The point is to unload your thoughts. Whether you realize it or not, you walk around with thoughts weighing on conscious or subconscious. Sometimes they can be productive in the sense that they are conducive to your writing and other times they will only distract you. Also, feel free to create use your own words if you don't like any of the ones above. This exercise should productive for you and that may require a bit of customization.

Thanks for visiting and good luck with your writing!
