Dr. Seuss Writing
Well, could an imagination get any wilder than Dr. Seuss'? He wrote about things we couldn't even dream about. He was truly a writer that let his mind go where it wanted. Out of that wondering mind came some great stories. One of my favorites is called And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street. In the story, a little boy with an imagination as big as Dr. Seuss, attempted to embellish the story of a plane old horse and wagon. With every passing page, the boy added to his story. Soon the old horse and wagon were an entire team of horses pulling a complete band along with a number of other things. The boy did all this because he wanted to tell his dad what he saw on the way home from school.
Today let's be like Dr. Seuss. Just let your mind run wild and see what you can write. It doesn't have to make sense. Come on--Stretch that imagination.
