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 River (that's me) and can be found here
This week's words/prompts are:
1.property 2.barrels 3.dingo 4.down 5.silent 6.doubt
My story will appear on this blog on Friday 6th
I doubt if the dingo on our property down behind the barrels will stay silent.
ReplyDeleteMike; well done! I love it 😀
DeleteMike: Molt bo! 😅
DeleteWell said, sir!
DeleteShort and good.
DeleteI’ll be working on it.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; I'll be looking forward to your story.
DeletePeople here (Australia) go silent when they first meet Ingo after just having read his name. They try and doubt to start like pronouncing mine (Iris) and out comes Ango and such - until Ingo explains, like your wild dog, just without the "d"... ingo. And everyone is happy :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry, that´s all I can come up with. Packing and procrastinating... I hate flying and I hate the cold I´m flying to.
Iris; also a good story, no "sorry" needed. I wonder why most people just don't assume Ingo like Dingo as I did. it's like people saying "eyetalian" instead of Italian, like the name of the country, which is NOT "eyetaly"
DeleteIt's certainly an interesting name. My surname was terribly mispronounced often when I was young
DeleteMine too, Polish in origin with ten consonants and only one vowel.
DeleteMispronunciation of names can be irritating or fun. Nice that you found a way to explain. Ingo is really not that hard ;)
Delete"Eyetaly"?!!! Oh, my!
DeleteI DOUBT if the PROPERTY will sell DOWN here, too many broken BARRELS, a DINGO or two wandering around, it’s not for city folk as they have no idea how SILENT it can be at times in the outback.
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; good story. You never know, maybe a property would sell to a fixer-upper person who would build a dingo proof fence. I remember being very surprised at how quiet it was at Modbury when I visited older son's home one year. 45 minutes away from the city and after dark pitch black and quiet like the middle of nowhere. I loved that part. Where I am now is never completely dark and the quiet comes only after midnight and then not every night.
DeleteAlmost always, there is the right buyer for the right property. It's just getting them together. I like the way you used the prompts.
DeleteGood use, silent is perfect, I migth buy ;)
DeleteThank you :)
DeleteSo sad! I've loved seeing these challenges over the years.
ReplyDeleteMy property was down by the docks whree I doubt anyone expected to find a double-barrel weilding assassin who loved dingos, but I kept the witnesses silent. Very silent.
Crystal Collier; welcome back. Good story, thank you.
DeleteI sense a story which could be a fascinating thriller if you expanded it.
DeleteI'm happy I do not live nearby :D Well written.
DeleteStill continuing my dream/tale of Peter's Time Travel now chapter 4.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Words, from which I used only Down ;)
Charlotte; I'll be right over to read. There are no rules saying you must use all the words, even just one is enough.
DeleteMy stupid, silent dingo neighbor from down the street left his barrels on my property and I doubt he will get them before the spring
ReplyDeleteUse those barrels as planters ;) Well written
