Writer's Block Exercise

[So anyone who likes to write, professionally or otherwise, knows exactly what it's like to have writers block.... You just draw a blank, and feel very uninspired. There are many techniques that writers employ to get the wheels turning. This is something I made up one day when i couldn't think of anything to write. What I do is I basically write a snippet of something i'm thinking about, and i use the last word of that sentence to start a new/unrelated sentence. It's not supposed to be profound or anything like that. It's basically a brainstorm. Then i read the entire thing over a couple of times and it helps me come up with some ideas for other things i'm already working on. I wrote this one up specifically for this blog entry. Hope you like the idea.... let me know what you think]

You are free to do as I 
Command 
your troops to march into the fields of 
Destiny 
is only that which we can manage to 
Conceive 
a thought that no one has been able to conceive 
Before 

u wake up, is when youre in the deepest state of 
Sleep 
deprivation can eventually lead to 
Death 
is worth that which we live 
For 
no good reason than to commit high 
Treason 
was the verdict for the spy of 
Spies 
operate in an extremely covert 
Manner 
of speaking was what distinguished her from all the other 
Illusionists 
have a talent for making one believe what he 
Sees 
and Seas are certainly interesting 
Homophones 
don’t sound quite as well as 
Gramophones 
play melodies that sweep you right into the 
Past 
present and future comparisons of people's 
Faces 
in the crowd that stand out as possible 
Perpetrators 
of the finest art the world has yet to 
Experience 
the world through the eyes of a 
Lizard

[It's important that once you start the exercise that you don't stop or dwell on any word or sentence. Some extra parameters i set for myself is that I have to complete at least 20 sentences and it cant include things i already wrote down before. But you can set all types of other rules for yourself  like making certain words rhyme, etc.... oh and the Johnny Depp thing is referencing his new animated movie thats i happened to catch a trailer for.... its called Rango]
