Illustration Friday has a new word each week that participants illustrate. The results are sometimes literal, but often times they run off in unexpected directions.Those types of sites are great to participate in, but if you want more than just one a week, you need to build your own personal repository. For some reason, it works better if you aren’t the one coming up with the words, so have your friends (or if you have a blog, your readers) contribute. Write each word on a sheet of paper and stuff them in a box, or put them all in a text file for the next time you need an idea.
