Sandy Supposes....

My Writing Muscles Have Been Stretched

PROMPT: Talk Tuesday! Last day of the month! Assess your work this month... tell us what you think, and what you've learned- both about yourself and your fellow participants.

         That's it? Another month of blogging has been posted? Where has the time gone? I really plotted, and plodded along for thirty entire days... consecutive days. I believe I survived with most of my wits still about me. I was not reduced to a blubbering basket case. My writing muscles feel stretched and supple. Thank youFivesixer ! You teased and tempted me.

         Let me think back chronologically... The blog prompt for May 2nd yielded some fun and eye-opening results. Who knew that we had catchphrases? Yes, I suppose a frequently muttered curse word qualifies as such. May 6th was a challenge, and required a great deal of thought. That was when we were asked to create an 8-line poem inspired by our fellow bloggers entries. Talk about randomness.

          I liked the prompt for May 12th in which I was asked to describe how I measure speed or distance. It proved there are many different ways to approach a topic. I had fun with the prompt for May 17th. I wrote about "my" Uncle Festus , a known arsonist, attending a family fireworks celebration. That was a rather unique prompt. Fire figures into a great deal of English phrases. The Creation Weekend of May 20th and 21st was also fun. Planning an imaginary party where anything is possible? And finally, I've never thought to create a backstory for a garage sale find which was May 27th's prompt. I shouldn't have been surprised. Treasures abound at these sales, and everything has a history.

          Thank you and congratulations to my fellow bloggers. You persevered. You created. You succeeded. I like your different writing voices, and blended, we make one fine choir.
