Some days, you just need a little psychological boost to get started. I’ve talked before on this blog about the power of priming at least twice, and here is a puzzle with words I associate with good writing. Give it a try and see if you like it!
Or, if you’d like to try your own hand at making a personal puzzle with words that are meaningful to you, visit Discovery Education to create your own game.
Happy Saturday!

Words I put into the program:
CREATIVE
FLOW
FUNNY
HEARTWARMING
ROMANTIC
SATISFYING
SYMPATHETIC
THOUSAND
TWISTY
WHIZBANG
But I know there are at least three bonus words that *I* would love to associate with any story of mine! How many can you find?
(Just a note: there’s a third post I made where I talk about the priming experiment, and the story success I had — it’s more about the “how I did it” not “what I did” — for the life of me, I can’t remember which story I’d finished! My goodness, I was full of joy, though. It was a different time, a different computer, but it’d be nice to have a little May Magic to help me out this week.)
I didn’t spend too much time on this, but I can find “helm” and “the” and “vitae” and let us not forget “oy,” but I can’t find all of yours. Good puzzle, Michaeline! Finding joy, that’s the ticket.
(-: I’ll post the answers next weekend! “Vitae” is a great writing word! “Helm”, too. And you can’t have joy without some “oy”!
I found “ying” in two different places but sadly no “yang”. Does that mean my writing is destined to be unbalanced?
(-: I think it means there’s delightfully unresolved tension. Or maybe a simple lack of “a”s in the puzzle. And for a romance, ying is the ticket, right? I love that you found that!
