A story is worth a million potatoes.
Picture this… five people sitting around a table, playing a seemingly ordinary game.
One person writes down a word, then draws it on the other side of the page (word is now hidden)…
Second person looks at the first person’s picture and writes down what they see…
Third person now has to draw that picture.
Each starts with their own word and repeats the process.
Then we pass it on to the next person in the circle and at the end we vote does the last picture match the original or not?
There are lots of errors in judgement, but it’s all good and fun.
And this is how this story begins.
Jeff names a drawing of mine “a pine cone in the mist.” I laugh and tell him it will become a creative writing piece of mine.
But I think I like this original story better.
