A Ticklish Thursday - 5 Minute Story Writing

Let's Start Here ..

Before I get into a really weird story, let's start by stating that I read recently that weird writing exercises can help to improve ones writing skills. So I am in need of that for sure, so I thought What the heck. I've done such stuff before, but it has been a while.

**So the idea is to pick a topic, set a time limit using a timer, and to just start typing without stopping until the timer goes off. I set my timer for 5 minutes and came up with the following wacky paragraph. My topic was this stupid brown leather chair my wife and I purchased a while back. We bought it from a pretty well known store. After picking up the chair, we unboxed it and disappointment soon followed. I found those silly 'Inspected By John Doe' stickers al over the chair, but OBVIOUSLY they are blind!!!!

You Be The Judge...

See what I mean??? What The #&%@^#%$%$@^&@&#$ Yup

I thought this was a great topic for this 5 minute free write. A silly chair for a silly story. FYI .. We did end up getting a replacement chair after some hard conversations and arguments with the supplier. They just didn't believe us. I know. I even sent them these photos and they still argued that this was normal. Needless to say, we never bought anything from there again.

Now For The Story...

Once Upon A Ticklish Thursday ..

In a town called Whimsyville .. There lived a mischievous craftsman named Mr. Chucklechops. Now, Mr. Chucklechops was known far and wide for his goofy gadgets and peculiar creations, but his masterpiece was about to take center stage – a brown leather chair that was made ever so imperfectly. Mr. Chucklechops, with a twinkle in his eye, gathered the quirkiest pieces of leather he could find. Some were smooth, some were bumpy, and one even had a ticklish tingle when you sat on it. He stitched them together like a patchwork quilt, giggling all the while. The chair's legs, oh, they had a mind of their own! Instead of standing straight and tall, they decided to do the cha-cha. One leg waltzed to the left, another two-stepped to the right, and the fourth leg did a spin that would make your head swirl. "Now, my fine friend," declared Mr. Chucklechops to the chair, "you're not just a seat; you're a giggling throne of fun!" And so, the imperfect brown leather chair found its place in Whimsyville's wackiest living room. Children flocked to it like bees to honey, eager to discover its ticklish secrets. One day, little Benny Bumblebum sat down, and the chair let out a squeaky laugh. Benny jumped up with wide eyes, and soon the whole town was laughing along. The chair became the heart of laughter, where stories were spun, and games were played. During storytime, the chair would whisper tales of mischievous mice and dancing dinosaurs. At playtime, it would join in the fun, doing the cha-cha with the little ones and making everyone burst into fits of giggles. The chair's imperfections became its superpowers, spreading joy like a whimsical wizard. And so, in the town of Whimsyville, the brown leather chair lived happily ever after, tickling toes and creating memories that would last a lifetime. And if you ever find yourself in Whimsyville, don't be surprised if the chair gives you a little tickle and a mischievous chuckle – for that's the magic of Mr. Chucklechops' perfectly imperfect creation!

That weird picture at the post start was none only than Mr Pepper. He was just a puppy then and needed a bath.. maybe one of his first ones! We decided to give him a little mohawk for the fun, and silliness of it. Fits this story well.

Thank you for swinging by my blog and checking out the post. Have a great day!
