I'm trying to get the old creative juices flowing around here by asking people to personify birds and infuse them with thought. Since the format of this forum is text, hence writing, wouldn't exercising the imagination be relevant to it?
I appreciate you leaving it open, especially if anyone besides Kelly wants to join in.
You make a valid point about the gallery forums. I just figured since this is the writer's forum it's probably frequented by more writers than practitioners of other art forms, so the exercise would be (primarily) for writers. I certainly wouldn't object to photographers, et al, taking a swing at it. But I'll be more specific next time.
You ever lighten up? Like this board is explosive with ideas right now...c'mon. If people had a little more leeway, ideas might actually start flowing instead of regurgitated threads that are about the same thing and worded differently.
Not that something about birds looking at airplanes is good, but it's a start. In what direction, who's to say these kinds of things.
Is this thread hurting the integrity of the writing board right now?
Examine that question closesly.

All I'm saying is that writing exercises should be labeled as such, so that people give imaginative answers instead of saying, "Helicopters make noises that frighten birds, duh." Works out a lot nicer for everyone.
