Now it is your turn to tell a story about the good ole days! What story would you have a grandmother tell her granddaughter or grandson about her childhood? Would you include something that is totally different than what the grandchild knows? Or, would you have it a story that shows that things aren't so different now than they were back then? You decide!
Hello everyone! I haven't written any historical fiction yet. However, I do like to think about how things were in the "olden days." It sometimes fascinates me that some things that I did as a child, my own child hasn't even seen. Things change over time. Some of the things that my parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents did, I have never even tried or seen.
Now it is your turn to tell a story about the good ole days! What story would you have a grandmother tell her granddaughter or grandson about her childhood? Would you include something that is totally different than what the grandchild knows? Or, would you have it a story that shows that things aren't so different now than they were back then? You decide!

Hello everyone! Today's writing prompt is a little different than previous ones. Today, there is a list of words and you have to try to work them all into a story some how. It doesn't matter in which order you use them as long as they are all in the story somewhere. Can you write a story that includes the words: mouse, banjo, dog, silly, jump, grandpa, food, moose, chase, and fish? Good luck! If you choose to use this writing prompt and would like to share it with me, I would love to see what you wrote. If done well, I bet this would make a great little children's story! Hello everyone. Many people, as young children, think about what they want to do or be when they grow up. Have you ever done that? That is the focus of today's story starter. Take a moment to think back about your thoughts of what you wanted to be when you grew up. Maybe you are still in school and just had those thoughts yesterday. Or, maybe you had the thoughts many, many years ago. (For some of us, that might be a little farther back than for others.) Remember you excitement and hopefulness for the future. Try to remember your reasoning and motivation for choosing that particular profession and path in life. If you are older, did you accomplish that particular goal? Why or why not? Are you glad that you chose the path you did choose, whether it was that same goal or not? If you are younger, do you think you will accomplish the goal? Why or why not? Do you have a plan? Now that you have the memory fresh in your mind again, write about it. When you were younger, what did you dream of being when you grew up? Hello everyone. Mealtime is one of those times that often evoke memories. People remember things like family sitting down to eat at the table and talking about the day, or picnicking out by the lake, or going to the fair and eating fried dough. With all the smells, tastes, and memories, it is often a magnificent time to describe. Writing descriptions is a wonderful skill to practice. Great description makes writing more appealing. It makes it easier to draw your readers into the story and help them relate to characters in your story. I would be happy to read your mealtime descriptions. I will try not to read them while I am hungry. LOL! Hello everyone. Summer vacation is almost here. School will be out and people will do what they do during the summer. Some people may even be camping. One of my favorite summer sounds is the sound of water splashing up against the shore and trickling back. To me, it is a pleasant and soothing sound. So, I decided to use it as a story starter this week. LOL! Maybe it is wishful thinking; hoping to be able to go camping soon. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the assignment this week. |
