I just love how these assignments can be fillers when it’s too late to write about The Bachelor…last night was a doozy and I’ll post all about it when the kids here are napping. For now you’ll have to choose an assignment for this week. I particularly like these prompts…and fyi I’m going to try to list the prompts for the week beneath the prompts tab above on Mondays so that they’re there all week long.
Secondly….is my site ridiculously slow or is it just the five people who have emailed me and commented on it? I’m working on finding out what I can do to speed it up…love me through it.
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. (inspired by Alecia from Savings & Stewardship)
4.) Luck, or divine intervention? (inspired via email by Angie from Seven Clown Circus).
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. (inspired by Michelle from Muffin Tin Mom).
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.

O.k….I am new here not only to your blog but blogging in general…these prompts are hard…I like it better when things are easy but I’ll give it a try! :)
Love your blog, by the way…you are hysterical!

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.
