Adam’s method is like tossing a bunch of car parts in the air and hoping that when they fall and hit the ground they will randomly assemble into a car.
All kittens must have dark pasts. Cute and cuddly with big eyes and soft fur until they bring out the needle sharp claws. They are the masters of the Who? Me? innocent look.
The idea of “brainstorming” using random words never worked for me when I had writer’s block. It worked for me when I used words that had something to do with the topic. I always started with the thesaurus, and then went to the dictionary and read words above and below or just the indicators on the top or bottom. Before I knew it, I had a few random sentences on the topic. Eventually, they led me to a story. Sometimes I used the original sentences, and sometimes just snippets…The idea is to write something, so matter what, that makes some kind of sense by the of an hour.

Interesting observation, Adam. But why are you parched?

The kittens must be on their second or third life.

I think he needs the coffee to dilute the acid he clearly had earlier.

Hey! Maybe Adam can finally answer the question that Alice asked in Cul de Sac three years ago!: https://www.gocomics.com/culdesac/2015/5/24
I had hoped that this was a real book, but unfortunately it’s some fictitious book for the comic. I wanted to know the answer too!

@ cmo2495: I do think that one has promise and would support a suspicion many have had for many years.

When I drink a lot of caffeine, my brainstorming involves a lot of urine-based brilliance.

Petey the Cuddliest Pocupine sounds like a Disney nature film from the 1960s.
