Sunday Selections # 795

Wednesday's Words on a Friday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by Hilary Melton-Butcher and can be found here on this blog . This week's words/prompts are: 1.sculpture  2.amendment  3.timeline  4.bog  5.castle and/or: 1.sword  2.crew  3.buffalo  4.forest  5.variation Here is my story: “What’s this then?” Uncle Dennis asked, picking up an entry flyer from the table, “Competition for Sandcastles,” don’t we already have one of these?” “We do,” said Mary, “and the kids have entered, but this is new with an amendment to the timeli...
