Week 18 – Simply Sourced Words
This week’s challenge is all about taking a chance with words. The intention is to use some randomly selected words and put them together into a paragraph, a poem, a piece of prose or any other format to suit.
Finding Random Words
To begin I picked up an edition of the Countryfile magazine I had received back in 2018. I don’t like recycling these and tend to keep them for future reference. I went through the pages and noted in a book the page number and “word” I had selected. I set a limit of twenty words.
I then proceeded to cut the words out of the pages of the magazine and began to see how they could fit together. There were a couple of lines that came together quite quickly. For the others I had to mix and match. It amazed me that I successfully managed to use all twenty words.
