One Word

For all you writers out there, or anyone, here's a cool website I found that might help you get some writing done. It's www.oneword.com/. It'll give you one word, and then you have sixty seconds to write as much as you can. After the sixty seconds, the website will save what you wrote and post it on that word's page. You can also view what others wrote.

For example, my word was necessity. Here's what I wrote (I'm a slow typer):

"Can it be found at the store? With your family? With friends? On the street? In love? It can be found anywhere in time." 


Here's what some other people wrote about 'necessity.' 


"It was a necessity to chop the old oak tree down, the sheriff had told me. I remember a time when I would have begged for him to leave it alone, but when he told me this now, I only nodded and smiled, exchanged niceties and left, segmented and confused at my own wicked whimsy ways. I could only conclude that the oak tree was evil, and that’s why I didn’t want it to be saved." 


"the curtains, she said. the curtains must stay closed. and odd though this request was, the maid let the curtains fall back to their original position, hanging down regally. they stayed closed because she did not want the world to see her, and she did not want to see the world."
