Your post host (me, whee!) believes that a smart start makes inviting writing.
Perceive/receive a theme/scheme for today, okay?
Hmmm. I’m going to put a temporary, necessary stop to this priming rhyming, for clarity (or charity):
When I was a kid, my family played lots of guessing games. One of these was called “Stinky Pinkies.” Here’s how that worked: One person would think of a two-word phrase (usually an adjective and a noun, but not always) that rhymed, such as
Gratitude attitude
Post host
Smart start
Inviting writing
Priming rhyming
Stinky pinky
Then, that person would give the guessers a clue, such as:
A thankful way of thinking
A WordPress writer
An intelligent beginning
An attractive turn of phrase
A poem that sets up a premise
The name of a great game
And the game would be afoot!
My droll goal, for most of this post, is to show lots of shots of things for which I have a tankful of thankful, with some amusing using of this same game.
It’s up to you to provide guess success.
