Your Assignment Should You Choose To Accept

January 25, 2010 · 14 comments

Directions: You can learn more about Writer’s Workshop here….it’s never to late to jump in!! Here is what you must do:

  • Choose a prompt that inspires you most.
  • Write.
  • Come back this Thursday and paste the URL to your actual post (do this by clicking the title of your post after you hit publish, an extended URL will come up in the address bar. That’s the URL you want to use) into the Mister Linky that will be up…this way anyone can click on your name and head over to your place to see what you wrote.

Feel free to write on more than one prompt if you so desire. I do it all the time, but it’s my game…and I don’t know how to shut-up…so it should be expected. And remember the more comment love you give, the more comment love you get so comment comment away.

The Prompts:

1.) Share one piece of great advice you’ve received from someone who knows stuff…

2.) Write a series of tweets that ultimately end with a line that I actually tweeted on Friday night: ”And then I sat on those remaining in the pack…and pulled the glowing sticks from under my ass.”

3.) Gregory MaGuire (author of books like Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister) is wildly popular right now (as is the musical Wicked). Write your own “re telling” of a classic fairy tale.

4.) Luck, or divine intervention?

5.) Muffin Tin Monday…on Thursday? Every week Michelle hosts a carnival where you’re invited to link a meal you serve your kids in muffin tins. It’s kind of cute actually.

Which one will YOU choose??

If you have a chance, try to stop by and say hi to the person who inspired the prompt you’ll be writing on this week.

Yes, it has gotten really slow. Especially to leave a comment. I often go and read another blog entry while I am waiting to be able to leave a comment. And I have really fast internet.

Your site is slow, but I’m impatient.

These assignments are HARD!

Your blog loaded just fine. Seems like you fixed it :)

Hmmm, not sure which, but I might join in this week…if I can get creative and get out from under all of these sick kids. UGH

Yes, really slow still. For a day or two, it wouldn’t load at all. Just blank screen.

PLEEEEEASE post about The Bachelor soon. Vienna is just killing me, and now Alli is just making herself look ugly.

No problem with your blog loading here. It was up quickly and easy to scroll down for me. No waiting required.

I have something that I’ve been wanting to post about wishing people “Good Skill” instead of Good Luck. I will see if I can work it in to prompt 4.

Wish me good skill in doing it.
