Seed Words #2: The Playground 07/29/2011
6 Comments
 
SEED WORDS #2

Source: Various playgrounds. I was struck by the language of restriction peppered throughout.  

Here they are, your Seed Words:

learning, warning, supervision, safe, ages, systems, probe, play, slide

Okay friends: start planting those seeds!  

WHAT ARE SEED WORDS?


1. I post the prompt.  It will include 5-10 Seed Words.

2. You write, incorporating each of the Seed Words into your writing.  
It can be poetry, fiction, flash fiction, nonfiction a blog post, anything. 
It could even be one pretty little sentence.  

It should attempt to include each of the Seed Words in some context that doesn't necessarily relate to the chosen theme. 

3. You can post your response, if you'd like.  How?  
Post it on your blog and then include a link to your page in the comments section below the prompt.  I want to read it! 
Or you can post it as a comment on my page.  You can also tweet a link to your response with the hashtag #seedwords.

That's it, I think!  Just a way to get you writing.  A way to get me writing.  A way to get to know you through your writing.  

I'm going to post the prompt and then wait a week before I post my own response, to give you time to let the words simmer in your own brain before you read mine. 


Happy planting!

Are you doing more Seed Words? I've done the last two and can't wait for some more. I keep checking back, but can't find anymore.
I think they're a lovely idea to incorporate words we wouldn't normally use into our writing.

Holly,
Yes! I'm in Colorado on vacation and have limited wifi, but I'm collecting them as we travel. I'll have them up soon- next collection from the airport.
I'm so happy that you're enjoying them. Thank you for letting me know!
