Welcome to 3WW, a writer's prompt for people in the know (and if they don't, share - and share often). 

Each week, I post three words.

This is how I pick the three words:

Each week, I come across words, which I place in a Word document. Come Tuesday night, I look at the list, move words around, and somehow, three words come into focus that just sound right together.

Those three words get placed in a scheduled post and I go to bed. I don’t think about them until I get up and check to see that Blogger updated itself (anywhere between 2 and 6 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time). That way, I have no unfair advantage over the rest of the writers (even though I've been so busy with work that' I've not written anything for months).
