Slice of Life #63: Games Kids Play

This is an anything goes prompt. ANY kind of game that you'd like to write about is up for grabs. Ideas include but not limited to might be: board games, checkers or chess, outdoor games such as Red Rover or hide-and-seek, arcade games you were addicted to, card games your Grandparents taught you, vintage games such as jacks or marbles ... or if you were really creative, write about a game you once made up!

Dust off the fun memories and let the writing begin!

Slice of Life #52: The Book that Changed You

Wow - A whole fifty-two weeks of prompts! Who'd of thunk it?

The book that changed my life

I think people underestimate the books they read. I've heard millionaires say if you want to know where you'll be in five years, look at the books you're reading and the people you're hanging around. Kinda puts a significant stance on what you've got on your nightstand, doesn't it?

So pick out a book that stands out in your mind. Classic, modern, picture book, young adult, non-fiction, biography.... and then tell us how it made you different. Who knows - maybe someone else will pick it up and it'll change them too!

Slice of Life #46: I LOVE.... and here's why.

Did ya'll see Netty's post last week?

Wasn't that collage awesome??!!

I seem to be apologizing a lot lately for being late.

This is supposed to be a Sunday meme,

but I've had a few hiccups along the way.

The important part is not to quit, right?

My son with his favorite wolf.

This week, let's talk about an object that you love. My son is holding a stuffed animal that he sleeps with every night. He loves his wolf. For you, it could be remembering the love of a toy, or something more recent, like loving the china your grandmother passed down to you. Some other thoughts I had:

• A piece of jewelry
• A mug
• A rock (hey - that would work for my husband!)
• A piece of art
• A house
• A car (I have a friend who named his truck "Betty")

Once you identify your object, write about what it is that connects you to that thing. For instance, in my husband's case he could tell you where he was when he picked up the rock, what he was feeling, what kind of rock it is and the potential of it if polished, etc. You can do the same for your object. A piece of jewelry could bring up memories of it being gifted, a piece of art bring up the thrill of bidding for it at auction, a house filling you with warmth and goodness, and on and on we could go. You get the idea - let's get writing.

As to myself, I'm two weeks behind. I'm dedicated to getting it all done this week (it's Spring Break and we've got no place to go) - so if you're interested keep watch over the old links and I'll post as soon as I get it done.
