Wednesday, June 1, 2011 at 2:29PM Okay, writers. Here you go. A little Wednesday writing kick in the pants to get some words flowing. Get out your pencil or a blank text page or knife and sheet of bark and number 1 to 10. When I say the magic words, you write the first ten things that pop into your noodle. I’ll meet you in the comments with my 10 Things. Ready? Watch out!

My 10 Things:
1. A car crash after school in tenth grade, in a green pickup truck.
2. Peeing or pooping in the pants or an otherwise inappropriate location.
3. Dropping a plate (or more likely a glass) onto the floor in the kitchen. I do this frequently.
4. Running into someone, perhaps someone I wanted to see but definitely didn’t plan to see there. Or maybe someone I did NOT want to see and never planned to see again.
5. Serendipity. The happy accident. One bad/annoying/unintended thing leading to something good or surprising or unexpected. Like polyester.
6. Insurance.
7. Car accidents are a leading cause of death and injury in the U.S. (Is this true? Fact checker?!)
8. Accidentally saying something one did not mean to say, even if you wanted to say it but were trying really really hard not to.
9. Slipping while running down the spiral stairs to answer the telephone, resulting in a wrenched knee that bothered me for years. Years, I tell you. All for a phone call.
10. Slipping when removing the tray of pastries from the oven so that half of them spilled into the storage drawer under the oven.
What did ACCIDENT dredge up for you?
