Roll the Dice

My friend went to a writers conference this week. One of the presenters spoke about a very simple idea to help get the creative juices flowing. He writes for fifteen minutes every day. As a catalyst for this project, he has a numbered list of words. He then rolls three ten sided dice. He matches the three numbers with three words from his list and then writes about them for fifteen minutes. Maybe a story is born. Maybe it's crap. 

A worthwhile experiment, yes? To that end, I'm going to give it a try. Beginning tomorrow and ending god only knows when -- a month? Longer? I'll post my fifteen minutes of ramble each day. I don't have ten sided dice. I don't have a list of words. And I don't have the patience for such a complicated system of creation. What I do have is fifteen minutes, a keyboard, and an endless supply of words in my very own brain.

Ready, set, write!
