#112 -- Quitting

Have you ever quit something? A job, a sport, a school play, a relationship? How did it feel? Were you guilty? Flooded with relief and a powerful feeling of freedom? Do you maybe quit things too easily? Or do you never quit, even when you should? What does it mean to be a "quitter"?

NOTE: I had to redo Mr. Linky and the links were lost. Sorry! Please re-post below.

#111 - Soar/ Sore

The prompt for this week is 'Soar.' As I read this word and said it out loud I realized that it also could be 'sore.' You could soar through the air, or be sore at someone. You could tell us about your ride in an airplane or about the kind of bandage you would need to make that wound feel better. Is your heart sore or does something make it soar? Which way do you feel today?

#110 -- Telephone

Write about a particularly memorable phone call you made or received, or about your first telephone, or maybe a time you needed one but didn't have one. Or, remember way back a few years ago when everyone didn't have cell phones? Write about phones!

#109 - Family

The prompt this week is: Family. Love them or hate them, we all have them. Whether it's urban families, adopted families, work families, extended families, nuclear families, or blended families, no matter how you look at them, they are complicated. Make up a new family, talk about your own family, or create a family for one of your characters to flesh them out a little. What does the word family bring up for you?

Happy Scribbling!

#108 - the future of the planet

Is there hope, do you think? Or not so much? Maybe you're impatiently awaiting the Rapture; maybe you think we've already doomed the Earth and the human race to a wasting death; maybe you think everything will be just fine.

What is the future of the planet?

#107 - Compose

As I pushed the button to write this post I changed my mind about what the prompt would be. The button I pushed says: Compose. It's a strange word if you look at it, so that is the prompt for this week! It can be used to describe the process of any type of art-making including writing, photography, painting, drawing, singing, etc., etc. It's a big word. What does it bring up for you? (Or if you like, you can change it to 'composed' and choose whichever meaning of the word appeals to you.)

Enjoy composing your piece!
