Wildwords

My friend Sarah and I are working on a writing project she calls "Words of Wisdom."  It's a fun writing game in which we send each other a word a week for the other person to respond to in any way she wants.  Our goal is to keep this up for a year's time then Sarah wants to put them together in a book.  She's not sure about the look or format of the book yet. That's okay.  Books have a really long gestation period.

She's figured out that all the words I'm sending to her are somehow related to nature.  And I might have my own book idea growing.  I have a working title:  wildwords. I have a vision to share with my graphic artist. And I'm working on the purpose of the book.  This is a very hazy part of the process for now but I know that given time, I will figure this out if the book is to come to fruition.

Here a couple of wildwords for your enjoyment:

waterfall - natural spilling of water from one level of terrain to another causing hiker bliss.

tree - wooden earth angel with green feathers and wings.

I think I'll continue to share the words once in a while in this space.  They are so much fun to work with and I would be so happy if someone else finds them fun. Can't you just see the artwork that could go with these words?????
