ONE WORD: Death

Death...it's apart of life and it keeps us on the quest of doing everything we can to live forever.

There are so many stories written about death.  Those stories reveal it many scenes, forms and fashions that as a writer we are always fascinated with it over and over again.

So; for the one word post today, take time and ponder about "death."  

Create a flash fiction story about it or create a moving poetic piece.

Once you do that, take it and share it with your many readers or gain inspiration from it to expand a scene in your next novel. Whatever you do; just write and experiment with words in ways that you have never done before.

ONE WORD: Fierce!

Sometimes it takes one word to get us in the groove to keep our creative think tank going.  That one word can be the mark for a great story, a poem that rocks the world or a short story that speaks to many readers in so many ways that's just a freak of nature.

As you take your creativity to the next level, take on the "one word" exercise and turn your story inside out or gain something that's so amazing, you don't want to put down your pen.

Be "Fierce" in your writing and be "Fierce" in your storytelling.
