First, I want to say, that
I’m honored to be a part of Paula Mowery’s blog hop. She has started up an awesome website to help us Christian
writers. And I do like to think God
made us a “little special.”
Below is one of assignments
that, so far, has been my favorite.

Creative God
Genesis 1:1-2 “In the
beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and
empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was
hovering over the waters.”
Circle one word in each group
of words.
Dawn Mountains Sun
Dusk Prairie Moon Night Ocean Stars
Now describe the scene that
your three words create. Only one catch – you can’t use the words you circled
in your description. Show the scene. Concentrate more on showing than naming.
God created out of nothing.
Writers are charged to do the same with the blank page. God is creative, and
you were made in His image. Writers are gifted to create a picture with words.
My response:
A cool evening breeze lifts
her hair. She peers up from the T-Rex
bones she is dusting to see Venus twinkling in the red western sky. Did the dinosaur she uncovered ever happen
to glance up and appreciate the beauty of the Heavens even though it couldn’t
comprehend what it was seeing?
Grabbing a jacket, she knocks
a rock down the embankment to the valley below. Yes, this place has its own rugged and rocky beauty, but she
misses the green lush landscape back home in Tennessee. The majority of trees here are variety
pine. And the trees back home are so
thick, that she can’t see all the way down like she can now.

ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the hop. You are one of the most creative people I know.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Brooksie! I like this exercise, as well. Like Clare, I may have to give it a go myself. :)
