Writerly Wednesday ~~ Best "Writing" Project EVER!

I read recently somewhere on the Internet (or saw in Twitter or on Facebook...or ???) the coolest project I've come across in a long time. From some tragedy -- probably a young suicide -- someone decided to add a little brightness and hope to the world by scattering around uplifting sticky notes. Cool, hunh?

Though the details escape me, the idea of random acts of kindness always lurks in my mushy brain. Sooooo, the other day when I had some time to waste, I scribbled through a sticky pad with the note you see below.

I cannot tell you how much fun it's been this week leaving the "love notes" around town. Places I've put them so far -- on the glass front door of a high end make-up store, on a restaurant table, the entrance to a hair salon, handed to friends, on random cars in parking lots, on the bathroom mirror at a bookstore, etc.

If you're looking for a method of generating story/poem ideas, give this idea a whirl! I laughed so hard at myself yesterday when I was going through a parking lot putting a few sticky notes on cars' driver's side windows, figuring owners would find them when they finished shopping. I stuck a note on an SUV with tinted glass. It seemed like a good choice at the time. Only after afixing the paper to the vehicle's window did I notice there was a driver sitting behind the wheel! A bearded older man!!!!

Oh lawd, he must've thought I was a lunatic or trying to pick him up. Or both. :D [I pretty much ran to my car and peeled out, so didn't see his reaction when he got out to read the note.] LOL

For the cost of a sticky note pad, you can have a ball of fun and spread the LOVE too. "Try it, you'll like it," as that old commercial used to say.

Have YOU ever done crazy things to generate writing ideas, just to have fun, to spread some happiness, or to flesh out a novel's plot?
