Blue and Writer’s Block
“For your guest post, your prompt is a single word: Blue. Whatever you think of is absolutely fine,” I read in an email from The Drama Mama.
“That should be easy enough,” I thought as I assumed something brilliant would come to me.
But as the days passed, I continued to draw a complete blank of inspiration from this single word writing assignment.
I started digging for obvious themes that reminded me of the word “Blue”.
Well, there’s….
Blue, the primary color – Although, I didn’t care for this color growing up. I liked orange. Now THERE’S a color….if only the assignment had been called “Orange”, but that’s cheating.
Blue Cheese – hmmm, yeah I hate blue cheese dressing…..
Blue Birds – I was a campfire girl and in the first grade we were called Blue Birds. I was forced to quit though after the first grade because my mother quit being the Blue Bird leader.
Blueberries – I don’t like the texture of blueberries and pick them out of my Starbucks yogurt parfait.
Blue – is the name of an album by Jodi Mitchell. I do not own this album. Moving on.
Blue as in Sad – I don’t read depressing blogs and I don’t write them either.
The Ocean is Blue – and if I hadn’t snoozed my way through my oceanography class last semester, I could tell you why…
Blue Book - this is what pops up first when you Google the word “Blue”. Yes, I was that desperate for inspiration.
Blue Waffle – this also pops up in a Google search, and it does not mean what you think it means! Disgusting!!!
Bruises are Black and Blue – and wouldn’t this be the perfect topic about a girl who got in a lot of fights growing up? That would not be me. Can’t we all just get along?
Blue Moon –is a song that reminds me of a scene in the movie GREASE where three high school boys show their bums on camera.
Selsun Blue - but can I write a whole blog on dandruff?
Blue State – as in my native California, but I don’t care much for politics.
Blue Shield/Cross – yes, let me write about health insurance! Zzzzzzzz…
And finally….
“You take the Blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe…” – Morpheus.
Don’t mind if I do. Gulp.
