Find that word in your WIP

[starrystorm]

In the middle, boards leaned together into a furniture fort, like hands frozen in applause.

write

 

[M.S. Wiggins]

“Are you planning to write my biography?”

hand

 

[starrystorm]

I bent my fingers slightly and winced. My bad hand still pricked with numbness. “You know why. Our hands aren’t like theirs.”

I have the word hand typed over two hundred times!

bird

 

[DarienW]

The wipers squealed across the windshield, struggling over the dry areas in a rhythmic pattern that sounded like a morning birdcall.

dripping

 

[Woollybear]

He lugged another barrel, and a wedge of charred wood at the bottom cracked off. He swore and stopped, and a bead of sweat dripped off his nose.

water

 

[Vida Paradox]

“Now, if you combine two Hydrogen and one Oxygen, you will get...” The assassin watched in a mixture of surprise and awe as the letters combined and ball of water floated right in front of her.

Trench

 

[Woollybear]

She bent her head down. Four parallel grooves were gouged into the surface of the table, like little trenches. They were filled with brown gunk. She wrinkled her nose.

present

 

[M.S. Wiggins]

His eyes express sincerity. Even if I searched for hours or days, duplicity would not present itself because he’s telling the truth as he knows it.

song

 

[Woollybear]

Nature unfolding through the seasons, like a song or a story. Nature in rhythm taking care of itself.

accusation

 

[Vida Paradox]

“You’re lying to me aren’t you?” Elytra said accusingly. “You told me the element to make a pencil is the best element because you know what I’m planning.” She glared at him a little. “Stop reading my mind...”

fry

 

[The Second Moon]

“What?” Mortin jerked his head back, causing the teleportation chip to fall to the carpet. “Did the teleportation chip fry your brain?”

Electric

 

[starrystorm]

We were hurdling down a tunnel, electric signs counting down the miles until home like a time-bomb.

World

 

[Kjbartolotta]

“It’s all superstition anyways,” Anvajoi said. “There’s a reason the rest of the world thinks us savages."

Gold

 

[Vida Paradox]

The Dragon gazed at the trio with its glowing red eyes while rubbing its precious gold with its black razor sharp claws. Its bright green scales vibrate ever so gently whenever they make a movement.

“Now what?” Fabio asked. “Ask for sugar?”

sugar

 

[Woollybear]

A blue-green bacterium, Alphonse flourished in a boundless sea. He pulled carbon dioxide from the water and made sugar. He excreted so much oxygen that it escaped into the air. The oxygen changed the methane in the air into more carbon dioxide, which diffused back into the ocean, giving him even more to eat.

hospital

 

[MaeZe]

The scene was out of place. In the city people are flown to the hospital and straight into a sterile room to be patched up with spare parts.

hovel




You know you're obsessive about editing when you edit a sentence after you posted it in this thread.

 

[M.S. Wiggins]

A late autumn breeze blew through every missing board of that hovel, chilling me to attention.

truth

 

[Woollybear]

Ooooh, I like these snippets.

It was like listening to the senators back home, discussing budgets and laws, while in truth discussing their own interests, dealing, planning items short- and long-term.

painting

 

[DarienW]

In the distance, the overcast skies obscured the view of Boston, coloring the distant buildings in shades of blue and gray like an abstract painting.

explosion

 

[M.S. Wiggins]

Another small shed-like room lifted us up into a second explosion of color. Back to green. Somehow it pulled off jungle and forest in one biome. We couldn’t go anywhere at first, because something big was being eaten by something bigger.

separate

 

[starrystorm]

The robotic beast stood on the other side of the ring, growling. Only forty feet and a ramp separated us.

fruit

 

[Woollybear]

Plum branches hung down around them, heavy with fruit. Tufts of yellowing grass hugged the legs of the bench she sat upon.

politeness

 

[JDGood]

She leaned in closer and her perfume invaded my heightened senses, “Some people are worried that you may be inebriated, honey. Is this your first time drinking?”

overcame

 

[starrystorm]

Energy flowed beneath my spot. It swirled faster. Dizziness overcame me. “Ack! What’s happening? My hand!”

tears

 

[Vida Paradox]

The little girl jerked her head up and looked around, giving me a clear look of her face. Her bright innocent green eyes widens in fear and tears of horror trickled down her cream white face. “Wh-where are you... Pl-please don’t hurt me!” She begged in fear.
