Thursday Result of WEW #12

WEW #12
Since the other one is late then so is this one! But better late than never - again.

Prompt: Make two long sentences with these nouns: book, chair, hedgehog, skates

Verbs: Eviscerate, complain, polish, sing

Result:

Wart, the smallest hedgehog, went singing past his brothers and sisters (as they stood open-mouthed like eviscerated fish) on his brand new skates that were polished to shine like the sun.

Knocking over a large stack of books, Wart fell over the chair, tumbling high in the air, landing on his bottom complaining, “Ouch, that hurt.”

Next week will be a poetry exercise. Can't let Poetry Month go by without one. Hope to see you then!

Oh My Goodness - Old Photos! (that go with WEW #8)

My sister is sending me old family slides transferred into photos/jpgs so we can surprise our dad for his 80th birthday. So if you know him, don't tell him. And, 80 really is just a number. But what was fun about viewing these pictures is that it coincided with my writing exercise #8. It was interesting to see how my memories held up against the photos and I didn't do too badly. Hope you have photos to add to your writing exercise too!  Enjoy a trip down yonder, Angela

Thursday Result of WEW #11

WEW #11

Prompt: Any minute now…

Result:

Any minute now something will happen. Any minute now. Okay. Come on. Nothing’s happening. My reflection hasn’t changed one bit. I thought when I turned 13 my breasts would appear. Breasts – such a pretty word. The boys in my class say boobs. And repeatedly point out that I don’t have any. They’ll be sorry one day for teasing me – I’ll have breasts and no braces and my face will clear up and I’ll become the butterfly my mom keeps referring to. And I won’t even look at those boys.

But right now – any time now – I’m waiting for something to happen.

Thursday Result of WEW #10

Had a nice day of recouping after being sick most of the night. Hence the very late posting. The comments have been fun - keep them coming!
WEW #10

Prompt: askance, zipper, granddame, picket, hooey

Result:

The granddame of the ball wore her boa, tiara and shawl as if that were the norm. No one dared say otherwise. Even though her tiara sat askance, not a peep was uttered. Until her grandson roared into the room yelling, "hooey, hooey!" He stopped dead in front of his grandmama, his shirt sticking out his zipper as if it were a white flag proposing a truce. 

She gathered him up into her arms and he whispered, "I love you, Grandmama." As she hugged him to her he gave her tiara a poke back into place and they shared a wink.
