Homemade freebie :prompt box of writing exercises

Sure you can buy writing books, but sometimes it’s fun to make your own. Here’s one way. Write down a random list of nouns as well as crazy first lines. If you’re stuck, open a dictionary. Then get some of those Benjamin Moore paint chip samples  for free!  and mix the colour swatches into the mix.    Choose from a range of colours.  You gotta love these chips just for the names, like wind chimes, Moroccan spice and  dragonfly. Check out the virtual colour fan  where you can click on a colour range, and choose  names.  (See you can write and re-imagine your living room at the same time.) If you wanted to create this prompt box virtually,   include some copyright-free music files (I find instrumental  tracks are best). Check out Garage Band for loops you can mix  and mash.  Mix, match, arrange and ta da! you have a portable gift  and  your cash box intact.
