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.
This month the words/prompts are supplied by Susan Kane and can be found right here
This week's words/prompts are:
1. oppose 2. child 3. mind 4. kitchen 5. foundation 6. excavation
and/or:
1. exceed 2. exploration 3. enterprise 4. escape 5. entertain 6. efficient
use either list or both, or mix and match, just have fun.
If you wish to include Charlotte's colour of the month it is Salmon Pink for March

Dora; you don't have to always play, but it's nice if you can.
DeleteI look forward to reading contributions. I can't - head full of mush:)
ReplyDeletejabblog; I often have a head full of mush myself, but the other stories are great aren't they? I manage to write something by focusing on just one of the words sometimes and write around that while fitting in the other words.
DeleteThis enterprise exceeded her budget for the exploration Betty Jane had planned. Years ago, when she was much younger, she entertained the idea of establishing a quilt store in Gosnold, Massachusetts . She would escape the competitive market in Branson, Missouri. She was fast, efficient with her quilts. Besides, her gr-grandmother lived there. Packing her quilting materials and equipment, and setting her mind on this enterprise, Betty backed out of her driveway when she noticed her flat tires. Sighing heavily, Betty took this as a sign that she could start this adventure tomorrow, or maybe the day after.
ReplyDeleteSusan Kane; very nicely done, I like it. I wish I could quilt but I just don't have that "crafting" gene.
DeleteSometimes the timing is just not quite right. Nice story, Susan!
DeleteHello, my name is Marie aka XmasDolly and I'm at https://newxmasdolly.blogspot.com/ What an interesting Post. I thought I'd stop by, and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteXmasDolly; welcome to drifting and thank you.
DeleteGeoffrey appeared to be salmon pink after his exploration of the tunnel. The child was difficult to entertain but his own efforts to occupy himself usually would exceed the enterprise. This day after Geoffrey had decided to oppose his guardian, he began the foundation excavation under the kitchen. Before anyone could detect the huge hole the boy had been able to dig, his ability to escape was lost. His guardian in the kitchen began to feel a tremble in the earth. Geoffrey's mind was racing when he realized the earth was packing around him. Suddenly he felt hands grasp his feet as he was pulled out. It was an efficient effort to free the boy who was then sent to bed without any supper.
ReplyDeleteGranny Annie; full of suspense, does he get out? (yes), does the kitchen collapse? Exciting.
