This week’s prompt is: Secrets, Hiding Places and Niches You can either free write using these questions as inspiration or answer the question as they are.
- Did you keep a diary or a journal? If so, where did you keep it?
- Did you have treasures or money you hid from siblings or parents?
- Did you have a need to hide things your parents would not approve of, like cigarettes, etc.?
- Thinking back, describe your most creative hiding place.
- Did you have a tin box or safe or a diary with a lock?
- What about yourself? Did you ever have a favorite get away spot or hiding place?
- If you did not feel the need to hide away, where did you go for a little alone time?
- If you had siblings, did they hide things from you? If so, what types of things?
- Now that you are an adult, do you still have little niches where you hide things away, like mad money, treasured letters, etc?
- When you feel the need to be alone, to where do you retreat ***

This is a strange one for me because I do not remember hiding anything or writing a diary etc. I would go out on my swing and stay there for periods of time but never really hid away. I think strict parents were probably the reason. I never wanted to cause a problem because there were problems enough for them to deal with already. Now that I live alone as a widow I don’t feel the need to be in hiding or need alone time, I have plenty. I do have some letters I have packed away in an envelope marked private but if I thought I was dying I would get rid of them. When you are older and disabled you really have no privacy.
I had a swing as a kid but it had to be hung to a framework over the garden path so wasn’t up all the time.
Thanks for the link Cheryl, but I think you meant to add Maggie’s.
