Ignoring my failed attempt at alliteration, here's a great idea for some writing practice that a friend of my shared with me: Play a game of Scrabble, and then write a short story using all of the words used during the match. Order doesn't matter, and you can alter tenses, quantities, and etc. as necessary to make them work within the story.

So if you're stuck for wordsor otherwise out of things to write about,dig through your Words with Friends archives, or gather some friends around the gameboard and get inspired! Or, you can start with these words, fromsome of my old games:

Group1:

ore, repay, quartz, aqua, ditz, dos, his, heal, vice, resign, vistas, zoo, cist, cope, phat, rye, hide, fig, reward, bag, node, old, joined, gumbo, no, nuke, an, eat, axel, mule, dews, melt, rolf, hater.

Group 2:

tut, tram, rad, dove, moai, quasi, ha, ki, scowls, aloe, decry, meters, zen, her, hid, elfins, note, hewn, god, abider, libel, iter, pi,payed, yet, pele, pianos, unfit, hi, ten, jibs, avoid, eve, seat, see, us, gate, ax, agog
