Free-writing, baby!

Okay. Sitting here waiting for the Eagles v. Giants game. GO, EAGLES!

Meanwhile, I'm thinking about a way to incorporate free-writing into my daily routine. Here goes.
1. Print up a list of nouns
2. Cut the paper into strips
3. Put the strips into a container (jar, basket, whatever) by bedside
4. First thing in the morning BEFORE ROLLING OUT OF BED pull out wordstrip
5. Free write (in the manner described by Natalie Goldberg in WRITING DOWN THE BONES) on that noun for ten minues

I think I can harvest some useful stuff this way. We'll see!
