It’s been quite some time since I posted a Writer’s Resource. Sorry, life’s been pretty busy.

Anyway, here’s a quick one to keep your writing sharp. It’s called One Word (http://oneword.com/) and it’s a FABULOUS writing exercise.

What happens is that you are given a single word and you get 60 seconds (yes, that’s it!) to write about it. Short. Simple. Too the point.

Here’s a sample from site (the word that day was “pit”):

falling into the pit the girl saw her life flash before her eyes. She knew, at that very moment, that the only way she was to survive this was to send out a message to God and pray that it would lead her in the right direction. She reached the bottom. Success.

Every day is a new word, so you can get your daily writing practice. I highly encourage you to give it a try!
