Whim

A whim is a sudden, playful idea or desire that pops into your head, like wanting to go on a spontaneous adventure just for fun.

Examples

• On a whim, I decided to write a short story about a dragon who befriends a lonely knight, and it turned out to be the best creative writing assignment I’ve ever completed.
• My brother often chooses to play video games on a whim, which sometimes leads to epic gaming marathons that last all weekend and leave us both exhausted but happy.
• During our science project, we made a last-minute decision on a whim to build a volcano instead of a simple poster, and it ended up being the highlight of our presentation.
