Class 1: Mad Ups

I know these warmup exercises weren't meant to be blog-worthy but I had fun with them so I thought I'd post 'em!

Mindless Writing:

I like chocolate milk and sometimes when I look deep into my chocolate milk’s eyes I feel things. Just like that night on 41^st street: It was a dark and lonely night. The neighbor’s cat was barking at the moon. Don’t know why it barked. It was a strange cat. That night was the first time I had ever seen a giraffe soaring like a beautiful angel through the misty clouds billowing up through the sewer drains. I watched as it kept going on its way. I don’t know where it was going all I know was I wanted to break that giraffe. Nothing on this planet should be so majestic. So I took up my glass of chocolate milk and sipped. Ahhhh. Pure chocolately delight.

Writer's Commentary: I would never hurt a giraffe. I love them. Just like chocolate milk.

Separate Sentences:

When I watch another human I tell them to shut up. If I was a dancer I’d be damn good.  The house is nothing but a loft on stilts. Sugar isn’t as sweet as some may think. For the night, we change our ways, for the day we stay the same.  Can we please get some toast in here?  How did the mongoose truly kill the serpent; with love? To be a gross person is to know yourself more than any other.

Writer's Commentary: I would dance my heart out, people.
