Have you ever noticed the names of paint colors? They are so creative. . . they could be wonderful writing prompts.
Writing Idea: Keep a file folder of phrases to inspire your writing. These could be phrases that someone else wrote. They could be snippets you wrote to be used in future writing.
This folder can also contain lists like these names for paint colors. You never know when or how you might want to use them. You might find a unique name for a character.
Or a fabulous name for: a fictional town, a store, a street name, a pet.
My favorite: Amethyst reflection . . . I can imagine using this to refer to eye color.
