They were sweet and cuddly, but unfortunately, we had a two year old then who was a bit of a stinker and would try to let them out whenever possible. We spent many an hour chasing bunnies around the house and yard. <br /><br />I tagged you for the Lucky Seven challenge on my blog today. If you are up for it, great, if not, that's fine, too. Either way, it's nice to get to know another writer. <br /><br />JudyJLDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547308887736189693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608908335264232737.post-38445471387425479382012-04-02T13:36:32.369-07:002012-04-02T13:36:32.369-07:00Oooh- cuddly.

Every day, when I start writing, I go back a few pages and immerse myself in the voice and story and then it just flows from there. Usually, because while I'm washing dishes, driving, or folding laundry, I'm playing out future scenes in my head like a movie so when it's BIC time, I'm raring to go. Not to say that some days the flow isn't skimpier than others, but there is always a flow of some sort. <br /><br />I do write my blog to get my creative juices flowing. Another thing I do sometimes is pick a random picture out of a magazine and write a couple of paragraphs based on that. One of the best short stories I've ever written was based on a writing exercise with a magazine photo. And my daughter bought me a game called The Storymatic that uses cards to give you the basis for a story and you go from there. That's a lot of fun and quick inspiration. <br /><br />I like your idea, though. I might try it with my daughters. It could be a fun family activity. I especially like your giant hamster idea. :)<br /><br />JudyJLDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547308887736189693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608908335264232737.post-44172583600131735152012-03-22T11:37:25.052-07:002012-03-22T11:37:25.052-07:00Anne and Mirka,

It's on those "going nowhere" days that I find this exercise most useful--it lifts my spirit, reminds me that I AM a creative person, and if nothing else, my kids enjoy the game! It's a great way to relieve the stress, especially if I've spent most of the day slogging through a research-heavy non-fiction write-for-hire gig that leaves me wondering why I wanted to become a writer in the first place.Bryan W.

I agree with Mirka. When it's time to write, I sit and write. On an actual thing I'm supposed to be writing. If I can't get started, I write in slow motion! No kidding, letter by letter. It really works. After a few sentences, I can usually break free of the problem.Anne E.
