ACCELERATED WRITING

When someone says, "they're just words."

You have fifteen minutes

find the right words

with the power to

pass the final exam

justify the promotion

finish the novel

win the girl you love

save the life of the innocent man

create the poem

all before

the bus stop.

Reviews

[Ciara Di Salle]

"Drawing upon my fine command of language, I said nothing." -Robert Charles Benchley

I love how this captures the pressure and anxiety as well as the beauty of writing anything in a time constraint!

[Rita L. Sev]

I could never read or write on a bus... but I admire those who use that commute so well!

[rutherford]

Thanks Rita

[OTownPete]

Ha, should be no problem since I have an overflowing plethora of words at my command at all times...that's why I am so damned prolific. By the way, finish the crossword while you're at it! Fun write my friend. Your friend in words, Pete

[rutherford]

Keep the words flowing. Thanks for the comments.

damn, here's the bus, and i didn't get it done...i flunked the exam, lost the promotion, lost the girl..and the man died. the novel wasn't so hot anyway...but the poem i never got written was going to be the best i ever wrote, a classic...well i guess i'll just sit on the bus and take in the scenery...

i really like this.

Thanks Jacob--good fun to create the what if world if none of it happens. Thanks for fun flip side.

Time is not always generous. You did an excellent job creating a sense of a ticking clock. I have to ask thought did you mean --the bus stops or bus stop?

[rutherford]

Bus stop--i was thinking of this one while riding a bus and realized my stop was coming up.

[Pryde Foltz]

Oh I got you.
