Anyhoo - our SCBWI CenCal region has a Traveling Sketchbook, well, traveling around to different people who want to participate. You can draw, write, paint, anything in the book. The theme this year is Footloose and Free. I think I took liberty with that and did a Footloose and Fancy Free theme. Close enough. I had so much fun being creative in a few different ways. I did a couple of writings for it and cut and pasted and used markers and glue! Total fun. If you're coming to our Writer's Day on October 17, then you can view everyone's contribution. Everything I saw in the book was incredible. Well worth the peruse...
Prompt words: Loose, foot, free, fancy
Loose, golden hair
flows across my sister’s flawless face as we ride our bikes home from swim
lessons.
Her bike is the fancy
one, decked out with pink ribbons, purple tassels and a sparkly teal flag. Mine
is blue. Dark black blue. Nothing to see here. Not even a shiny bell. Figures.
My foot slips off the
pedal and jams into the ground. The bike abruptly dumps me over, my ankle still
entwined.
“Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow,” I
howl.
“Oh, no.” She jumps off
her bike and gently plucks mine off me and sets it aside.
Pretty pink skin pocked
with purple and teal, balloons around my foot.
She takes off my shoe
to free the bulbous appendage.
“Thank you,” I tell
her, keeping tears sucked deep inside.
She smiles. Golden.
I sit behind her on the
back of the banana seat with the pink ribbons, purple tassels and sparkly teal
flag while she pedals. I get to ride the fancy bike.
Now I’m smiling.
Nice! The sketchbook was a lot of fun--your pages were terrific, and so were all the pages that I saw from people who came before me. It will be fun to see the whole thing at Writer's Day, finished.
