It's exercise time! Don't let those long hot summer days let you lose touch with the voice found in the cold abysmal that is winter! Too many Barbeques, beer and baseball games to distract the writer in all of us! (though the beer can stay, you know, to cool down) In order not to lose touch with skills (skills?) and practice I am starting writing exercises every week. One a week, posting due 6 days later, and to keep things accountable if nothing gets developed then I have to buy my good friend Jeff a picture of his favorite hop-malted beverage. I am using the exercises out of the reader that I have been commenting on in all of my previous posts. I encourage anybody reading this regularly to join in on all the aerobically prosaic fun!

This week’s assignment:
Pick any word at random (noun is easy): let mind play freely around it until a few ideas have passed through. Then seize on them, look at them, and record. Try this with a non-connatative word, like "so" etc.

Feel the burn!
