Today, you're banned from using any of them.</i><br />I figured the spirit of the rule wasn't to look for loopholes like 'icicle', 'shivered', 'numbed', 'nipped', etc., but to find ways to describe a scene without using any of the obvious descriptive words. :)<br /><br />I think this is a great opportunity to see how our voice <i>is</i> unique. We're all given the same scenario and yet pushed to explore the boundaries of our vocabulary and innate sense of putting words together to form a mini-story.<br /><br />If you couldn't tell, I loved this exercise. :)<br /><br />Jami G.Jami Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957122956518765455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-53304573521943670322010-02-23T09:52:28.748-06:002010-02-23T09:52:28.748-06:00I did mine last night, and found it more fun than ...I did mine last night, and found it more fun than I expected! I noticed that icicle wasn't on there, too, though I didn't use it. I did use a different word that wasn't on the list.<br /><br />I can't wait to read everyone else's and see how they're different or similar to mine!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487893990781399211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-4229701106653651762010-02-23T08:22:16.347-06:002010-02-23T08:22:16.347-06:00I decided to prep for this by spending 5 minutes o...I decided to prep for this by spending 5 minutes on Write or Die just exploring my thoughts on cold.

Assuming you felt very cold just before that and have not changed environments, of course.Katherine Hajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270232675026751342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-62337387281726498032010-02-22T21:19:30.599-06:002010-02-22T21:19:30.599-06:00Brrr!Brrr!Dave Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773380114295267509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-37247498845119393342010-02-22T18:41:40.127-06:002010-02-22T18:41:40.127-06:00I was never good at Taboo, but this was an interes...I was never good at Taboo, but this was an interesting heat.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148607269166543281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-38038272917955810322010-02-22T18:25:15.875-06:002010-02-22T18:25:15.875-06:00I notice that icicle is not the list, but I'm ...I notice that icicle is <i>not</i> the list, but I'm not using it because I suspect that's against the <i>spirit</i> of the rule. :)<br /><br />Jami G.Jami Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957122956518765455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-83270118110311211632010-02-22T17:52:13.059-06:002010-02-22T17:52:13.059-06:00Had fun with this one.
