Counting by Words

Line 1 can have only 1 word today. Line 2 can have 2 words. Keep going in that pattern up to line 10. Extra credit if you can work back down from 10.

If you’re stuck for a topic, write about something you can see right now or your favorite color.

Remember: This doesn’t have to take long. Set your timer for 7 minutes. See what you come up with. Surprise yourself!
