I’m about to disappear into the depths of another long weekend. Yes, that’s right, I had a long weekend last weekend, then had a three day working week and Friday is once again a holiday. I love this country!
Since I’m going to be cut off from the internet for the next three days (ouch) and because I’m feeling extremely energetic as a result of all this public-holiday madness, I’ve come up with an idea for a fun participatory blog based on an old writing exercise.
Here’s the deal—I’m going to give you a single line of text. What you have to do is create a 50 word paragraph around it. The line can be at the end, the beginning, the middle, but it must be there. (And yes it counts toward the wordcount).
This isn’t a game just for the writers, anyone can play. Write me a newspaper article, fiction, a commercial, anything – just use 50 words or under. If we get more than ten posts, we can then have a vote as to the most splendiferous.
Here’s the line: It was cherry flavored.
I can already see the dangerous possibilities...

It was cherry flavored. She licked it, sucked it, and kept hoping it would never end. How many times had she experienced this same sensation…too many times to count. She’s what you would call experienced. Don’t judge her, she just knows what she wants. She never could say no to a lollipop...
argh. Change one of the "experience(d) to a word of your choice.
And Katie G takes the title by default! I got sucked in (pardon the pun) by your clever phrasing. Actually started to wonder if this blog would require a rating after that post. *grin*
