Making Life Interesting, Lost In The Woods

BCOF Prompt: John UpDike says we are past heroes and kings. Life is dull and muldane. It is up to the writer to make life more interesting. Do we agree?

Yes. People read to escape boredom and a well written book can brighten our day. Writers are inspired to write for others and who wants to read a boring book? Writers take us to another world and we have to love what we write so that we don't get bored. Who doesn't like an interesting life? As writers, use your imaginations and write something interesting and exciting. The reader will feel better and so will the writer.

Blog City Prompt: You are lost in the woods and it is getting dark. What happens next?

I won't be meeting any "Twilight" friendly Cullen vampires or nice werewolves. I would have packed a back pack with food, water, flash light, wore a watch and have my phone. I may not get a signal but I would let my family know where I was before I left. I would pray and try to find a clearing so I wouldn't be stuck in the woods. I would have packed a grill lighter to light my way. I am always teasing that I want to spend the night in the woods and once at my son's place, my son, his wife, my parents and husband and I sat by his woods at night with a camp fire and told spooky stories. I would try to turn to being lost into the woods an adventure. I would live out my fantasies. All I would encounter is animals. If I met a wolf? I would be more afraid of a snake then I would a wolf. I would just have to wait until morning and hopefully, I would have a quiet night in the woods.
