Hey everyone! It’s time for another writing exercise! For those that are new this is a creative writing exercise I created, and it goes like this:
Pick a random word. You can use https://randomwordgenerator.com/
Think about the word for 3 minutes and say it out loud a few times.
Write continuously for 10 minutes. Don’t stop until the timer runs out!
In my first story which took the first two weeks to finish, Susie and Eddie didn’t exactly have a happy ending to their drug deal. You can read them below:

Word of the day: SCREAM
— Timer Starts —
Patrick had seen Angelica around the dorm a few times already but this was way more of her than he ever thought he would get to see.
Rewind 2 weeks. Patrick lives in the dormitory named Bruce Hall at the University of North Texas in Denton, TX. His new roommate for the year was Joseph, from Houston, TX. They didn’t get along super well, but they both loved computers so that was enough. One day, Joseph had lunch with a friend from high school who happened to go from the same college. Her name was Angelica.
They went to lunch and came back to the room where Patrick was trying to enjoy his Sunday afternoon. It didn’t work very well because they kept laughing and giggling. Angelica wall tall with long brown hair, and the deepest, blue eyes you’ve ever seen. It was like looking into the ocean and finding heaven.
“Hey,” said Patrick a little stunned by her pretty eyes.
“Hey there! I’m Angelica!” Her makeup was thick and she was wearing tight blue jeans and her hair in a ponytail. Patrick was sure she was far out of his league. He was short, hairy, but thin and all those years of marching band paid off for something since he had a good tan and toned upper body. His short black hair and trimmed beard helped balance his larger nose and rounded jaw.
They talked for a long time with Joseph who could tell that the conversation was slowly moving away from him and more towards Patrick. He thought Patrick was the cooler, older, guy so he didn’t mind. When the conversation was over, and all the side-eye cute glances had come to an end, Angelica stood to leave. “We should all exchange AIM names so we can chat later.” AIM stood for AOL instant messenger, the common chat app of the day for kids who didn’t have cell phones.
Patrick and Angelica continued to speak to each other for the rest of the week. From cute pictures of each other to more flirty messaging. They met on the following Saturday for ice-cream and afterward made it back to his room for a movie. Only there wasn’t a lot of watching the movie.
You see, Patrick’s favorite movie was Shrek. Cute, fun, and romantic in it’s own way. Really, he just wanted a chance to be in a dark, cool, room alone with her. The people in the rooms next door wondered why they could hear the dragon roar so loudly, but soon those roars of cartoon dragons and ogres became screams and moans of ecstasy.
