S — NaPoWriMo

The last week or so I’ve found myself starting the day’s A to Z entry by typing something like:

S

singer songwriter
salad
sincerity
salami (and eggs)

and then developing one of these for the day (more common) or choosing something else (less common). It just struck me that this is one of the pieces of advice given by Ray Bradbury to make lists of things which can be used to inspire or kickstart one’s writing. A list of ideas or just things, for when you need a start or a “what if” or a “what happens next is…” Thanks Ray!

late night treat, college:
close to snack bar’s closing time,
salami and eggs

salami and eggs:
imported from long island
favored late night snack.

eggs, add salami
fry it up in a hot pan
eat, relish, repeat.

why keep salami
hanging in your dorm closet?
salami and eggs!
