Feeling Crushed By Writer’s Block? Try the Creative Copy Challenge

Posted: 24 Dec 2010 07:09 AM PST

I float around the web a lot. I start in email or RSS and click here and click there and soon I’m far, far away and don’t know how I got there.

Sometimes I find a site that is fun and a challenge.

I read about writers. I read about writing.

The Creative Copy Challenge is a lot of fun. And this site I remember, came from visiting AnnWayman.com.
Challenge of Ten Words Writing

It's our goal to offer the creative community a simple, quick way to crush writer's block and unleash their creative muses. We believe this site provides just that.

Give it a try, but be warned; once you start, it's hard to stop it's so addictive. Besides, are you going to let 10 little random words stump you? Will you just take a peek and leave without "proving" how creative you are? We hope not.

We'll post a list of 10 random words or phrases every Monday and Thursday. You do the rest.

There are some power-house copywriters – people who actually earn a living as word-workers – that take part. And then there are people like me who lower the standards considerably.

Here are the Ten Words of Thursday:

  1. Indentation
  2. Parameters 
  3. Spartan
  4. Bacchus – a god of wine and giver of ecstasy (sic)
  5. Pensive – expressing deep thoughtfulness, often with some sadness
  6. Baroque – Extravagant, complex, or bizarre, especially in ornamentation; relating to a style of 17th to mid-18th century European art and architecture
  7. Ostentatious – pretentious, showy, or vulgar
  8. Cobalt – A hard, brittle metallic element
  9. Smidgen – A very small quantity or portion
  10. Restrictive – see James' word choices

Jump over there and have some fun! Especially if you are feeling stumped or uncreative.
