And glad to hear your ideas are always flowing. I don't know what I'd do if they ever stopped... :/ But I'm kinda thinking that won't be a problem...my brain doesn't ever shut up!!

I don't think I'll ever run out of things to write about. I'm really liking that highway sign too, Eden. Very fitting. I agree with all the sentiments here.

It's amazing how one little word can kickstart that flow of language in such a short space of time. Demi Moore, of all people, tweeted the address a few months back and I absolutely love it!

I'm a fan of theirs on Facebook and they post every day that there's a new word up, which is nice because I tend to forget things like that. It helps to be reminded to do exercises such as these. I'm glad you enjoyed the site!!! I love that you tried to do it twice — did you want a different word or just to do it again? haha

Every time I open a doc, I promise I'll find something to fix or tweak a little. Which is why I like these types of prompts. Gets me out of my comfort zone and forces my mind to work a little differently, which is when I tend to come up with some cool stuff I wouldn't have otherwise. Yes -- check out the site. It's great :) Thanks!! I’m usually a perfectionist with my writing, as well. Every time I open a doc, I promise I’ll find something to fix or tweak a little.

You get ONE word (I know I tried it twice ;-) ) and the timer makes it perfect for the reason of - you only get 60 seconds. We ALL only get 60 seconds to write as much as we are able.

Sounds like you're like me, I'm such a perfectionist - especially when it comes to my writing. Anything that forces me to free my mind and just WRITE is most welcome! :D I’m the same Deanna, prompts never seem to work for me for that exact reason – picking and choosing ones that I like.

My biggest problem with prompts is that I tend to get picky with them, skipping over several to find one that I like, which is not conducive to productive exercise. I like the idea of the timer forcing us to write, write, write, rather than stop, go back and edit, (yes, I am a perfectionist). :) Thanks for this great post! I’ll definitely check the site out.
