The Writer’s Workshop

Here are this week’s prompts:

  1. Write a post bsed on the word Facebook.
  2. Write a post in exactly 11 lines.
  3. Grab the closest book. Close your eyes, open to a random page, and point at a random sentence. Write a post starting with that sentence.
  4. You wake up to find yourself in your five-year-old body and back in time. How do you spend your first 24 hours in this situation?
  5. What is the question that best defines your internal struggle to understand life? Do you think you’ll ever be able to answer that question? Why or why not?
  6. This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the first day of the Lenten season. If you observe Lent, what is your voluntary act of penance (e.g. giving up candy)?

I chose number 4:You wake up to find yourself in your five-year-old body and back in time. How do you spend your first 24 hours in this situation?

At five years old I was enrolled in first grade so most of my day was spent in a one room schoolhouse. But after I got home, I had chores to do and then I was free to enjoy the country life, running and playing on our two hundred acre farm that included great meadows, stone formations, streams and brooks, berry bushes and strawberry patches, and a huge forest. This was ideal for me and if I was to stay close to the house, I could investigate above the garage where newborn kittens never ceased, take a swing (which was my favorite) and watch the variety of birds in the tree.
