DANCING STORY STATEMENTS BY NICOLE BRUMLEY
Something I never heard before my ESP classes was the concept of word dancing. Now, I love doing it and hopefully you will too. Something about changing the components of a simple structure to make something crazy and fun is so important to creating novel results.
Just pay attention to how these words dance.
There was_____who______off_________and________been_______.
There was a word who danced the socks off its readers imagination and it has been a wild journey changing up stories since then.
And the word dancing begins….
like
THERE WAS A DRAGON WHO LICKED PEANUT BUTTER OFF A SPOON AND IT’S BEEN LICKING ITS LIPS FOR 17 YEARS MULTIPLED BY 76 DIIVEIDED BY 4….323 YEARS.
THERE WAS A GIRL WHO LICKED LICORICE OFF A SHOE AND SHE’S BEEN CLACKING HER HEELS FOR TWO WHO YEARS WITH DOC FROM BACK TO THE FUTURE SCREAMING, “GREAT SCOTT!”
or
THERE WAS A DOG WHO LEAPED OFF THE LEDGE INTO A POND WITH ITS BARE PAWS AND ITS BEEN WISHING IT WAS THE HORSE FROM HURCULES EVER SINCE ITS OWNER FELL ASLEEP ON THE COUCH WATCHING IT…also, who is this owner to think that Hercules isn’t worth watching the whole movie?!
THERE WAS A VELVET CHAIR WHO SANG JAZZ MUSIC FOR ITS SITTERS ON THE OFF CHANCE THEY WOULD SING ALONG WITH IT AND ITS BEENREMINISCING WHEN ELLA AND LOUIS WOULD SNAP THEIR FINGERS WITH IT.
THERE WAS A CAKE WHO VEGGED OFF THE TV SHOW FRIENDS AND ITS BEEN WEAPING FOR 3 YEARS STRAIGHT (this cake needs to be thrown out asap) BECAUSE IT CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY ROSS AND RACHEL AREN’T DEEMED THE WORST CHARACTER COUPLE EVER.
THERE WAS A FLYING SAUCER WHO LOOKED DOWN AT EARTH WHERE SOME PORTION OF THE WORLD HAD ITS LIGHTS OFF AND ITS BEENSCHEMING TO FIND THE NEXT PERSON WHO IS GOING TO MAKE THE WORLD ONCE AGAIN DOUBT THAT ALIENS EXIST.
THERE WAS A TELEPHONE OPERATOR WHO WAS THINKING ABOUT TAKING OFF TO QUIT HER JOB AND ITS BEEN 5 HOURS OF HER BULDING A SAND CASTLE IN BOLIVIA TO REALIZE SHE ALREADY DID…and she smiled.
even
THERE WAS A FLOWER BOY WHO CHUCKED ROSES ON THE FLOOR SO HARD THAT THE PETAL RESIDUE COULD NOT COME OFF OF THE CARPET FOR A YEAR AND IT HAS BEEN HIS GOAL SINCE TO ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE BRIDE CAN SMELL THE ROSES WALKING DOWN THE AILSE WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP.
THERE WAS A ZEBRA WHO SIPPED BUTTERSCOTCH MILK OFF A PALE A LITTLE GIRL ON A SAFARI SET OUT FOR IT AND THE ZEBRA HAS BEEN CHASING AFTER THE DREAM TO MANIFEST THE BUTTERSCOTCH MILK INTO A NATURAL BRONZER LIKE HOW FLAMINGOS GET THEIR PINK COLOR FROM EATING BRINE SHRIMP AND BLUE ALGAE EVER SINCE A KIND GIRL LOOKING TO MAKE A FRIEND SHARED HER BUTTERSCOTCH MILK WITH IT….we need more children like this in the world to inspire zebra’s.
THERE WAS A COMPUTER ICON WHO WAS ACTAULLY THE CIA WHO PROGRAMMED ITS IDEA OFF OF THE SHOW SMART HOUSE TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD ONE HOUSE COMPUER AT A TIME AND IT HAS BEEN UNDETECTED AS THE CIA BECAUSE THE FONT OF THE ICON WAS A MIX BETWEEN THE TYPEFACES COMIC SANS AND PAPYRUS…. BECAUSE AIN’T NOBODAY GOING TO TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY.
THERE WAS A HIGHWAY WHO WAS BASED OFF A PAINTING A KINDERGARTENER FINGERPAINTED, BUT KIDS MADE FUN OF HER BECAUSE IT WAS A BORING PICTURE AND SHE BELIEVED HER PICTURE WOULD COME TRUE AND THE HIGHWAY HAS BEEN WAITING FOR HER TO DRIVE DOWN THE GRAY FLOWERED HIGHWAY, SO SHE CAN SEE THE BEAUTY AND THE POWER HER IMAGINATION HELD.
THERE WAS A MONSTER WHO WOULDN’T GO TO BED UNTIL ALL THE CANDLES WERE EXTINGUISED SO IT WOULDN’T SET OFF THE FIRE ALARMS IN ITS APARTMENT BUILDING AND IT HAS BEEN COMFORTABLE IN IT’S APARTMENT, NOT SCARYING OR DISTURNING ITS NEIGHBORS IT LIVES UNDER THAT USED TO BE SCARED BY THE MONSTER WHEN THEY WERE CHILDREN…he’s not wanting to be a part of that SCARY monster lifestyle anymore and I respect him for that.
THERE WAS A CHARMING COLLEGE STUDENT WHO SPLIT COFFEE ALL OVER THEMSELVES AND TOOK OFF IN A SPRINT, NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE EMBARRASSED, BUT BECAUSE THEIR CLOTHES HAVEN’T HAD CAFFEINE IN SOOOO LONG AND THE CLOTHES COULDN’T CONTAIN ALL THE ENERGY THEY POSSESSED IN THAT MOMENT AND IT HAS BEEN A TRAUMATIC STORY FOR THIS COLLEGE STUDENT KNOWING THAT THEIR CLOTHES CAME ALIVE….unfortunately, they don’t drink coffee anymore, or wear clothes.
>>>THERE WAS A READER WHO WILLINGLY BREATHED DAILY OFF THE OXYGEN, NITROGEN, AND OTHER SMALL PERCENTAGES OF MIXED GASSES THAT HUMANS BREATHE AND THEY HAVE BEEN MARKED WITH PURPOSE AND EXCITEMENT AND HAVE BEEN READING THIS BLOG FOR APPROXIMATLEY 5 MINUTES…and then they did the most crazy, creative things ever because they realized that they wanted to be a part of at least one of these stories.<<<
Keep your words dancing…they need the exercise.
