QuickWrite of the Day #60: Secret Sauce
"Writing can be used as a vehicle to express ourselves as we negotiate the journey through our lives” (Gallagher, 2011: p. 24)
Today’s QuickWrite:
Today’s QuickWrite is inspired by the illustration below for The Just Girl Project by Simply Sophie Designs. It lists the qualities of a good-hearted person, and compares them to the ingredients required for a ‘secret sauce’ that makes up a kind human being:
Taking this idea on board, create your own ‘secret sauce’ recipe for something that excites you or means a lot to you: the ideal best friend, the perfect villain, the funniest joke, the perfect pet, the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon, the ideal society- anything you like! Feel free to write or draw - there are no limits to how you express your ideas. After you make your recipe, use it as inspiration to write - what does it make you think, feel or imagine?
To see an example of a similar list, check out the photo below featuring a ‘tick list’ for falling in love, which was taken in a window at a local Vietnamese takeaway shop. This one made us smile - there’s always that extra rush of excitement when we discover writing ‘in the wild’!
