Words for Wednesday
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.

Thanbk you for posting - such an inpiring list. Thinking cap put on.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte; I look forward to reading your story.
DeleteNow I have been thinking, but badly. My meagre writings are here: WfW
DeleteCharlotte; I'm sure your story will be excellent as always.
DeleteIt was a wet day. A grey day. A cold day. Jemina didn’t care. She knew how to live. It was a day when the only appropriate action was to snuggle under a blanket.
ReplyDeleteShe gathered up her supplies and shuffled (because her hands were full) into the lounge room. The green velvet cushion on the sofa was calling her name. She had an exciting new book to finish (thundering hooves and romance) or she could finish knitting the woolly hat her nephew had asked for.
She was spoilt for choice, but for the moment she was drawn to the book. It needed to be returned to the library this week, and today was the perfect day for getting lost in it. Decision made, and perhaps when she finished the next chapter she would have a milkshake. No, it wasn’t the right weather for milkshakes, she would have a delicious and comforting hot chocolate instead. A blissful day beckoned.
Elephant's Child; I love this, you have described my cold weather days perfectly. snuggled up with a hot chocolate and a good book, plenty of naps. I'll be doing exactly that this afternoon.
DeleteThe words led you to a lovely place!

ReplyDeleteMAMA'S REBELLION by Granny Annie
Mama was in the kitchen. The screen door had opened and slammed shut for the hundredth time. She felt her head pounding as the thundering hooves of the children returned. Mama did not like to yell at the children. She normally had a velvet voice but for once a harsh tone seemed appropriate. "Back outside!" Mama demanded, making an unusual booming sound. She shuffled to the back door and locked both the screen door and the wooden door behind the children. They pounded on the door to be let inside. She wondered if it might be more comforting to let them in and for her to go on a walk.
Mama turned off the stove burners and put the dinner on hold. She grabbed her best green hat and now had a choice. Would she take her knitting and go to the park or should she wander to the drugstore and have a milkshake? She smiled as she felt drawn into her first bit of rebellion.
Granny Annie; great story, I have sometimes used that tone with my kids when they were little, especially near the end of school holidays when they had all been home and underfoot for two weeks.
