The prompt for this week is 'Soar.' As I read this word and said it out loud I realized that it also could be 'sore.' You could soar through the air, or be sore at someone. You could tell us about your ride in an airplane or about the kind of bandage you would need to make that wound feel better. Is your heart sore or does something make it soar? Which way do you feel today?

#110 -- Telephone
Write about a particularly memorable phone call you made or received, or about your first telephone, or maybe a time you needed one but didn't have one. Or, remember way back a few years ago when everyone didn't have cell phones? Write about phones!

#109 - Family
The prompt this week is: Family. Love them or hate them, we all have them. Whether it's urban families, adopted families, work families, extended families, nuclear families, or blended families, no matter how you look at them, they are complicated. Make up a new family, talk about your own family, or create a family for one of your characters to flesh them out a little. What does the word family bring up for you?
Happy Scribbling!

#108 - the future of the planet
Is there hope, do you think? Or not so much? Maybe you're impatiently awaiting the Rapture; maybe you think we've already doomed the Earth and the human race to a wasting death; maybe you think everything will be just fine.
What is the future of the planet?

#107 - Compose
As I pushed the button to write this post I changed my mind about what the prompt would be. The button I pushed says: Compose. It's a strange word if you look at it, so that is the prompt for this week! It can be used to describe the process of any type of art-making including writing, photography, painting, drawing, singing, etc., etc. It's a big word. What does it bring up for you? (Or if you like, you can change it to 'composed' and choose whichever meaning of the word appeals to you.)
Enjoy composing your piece!

#105 - The Photograph
The prompt for this week is: Photograph. (Or you could shorten it to photo.) Describe one, take one, or show us one! Talk about what seeing that picture meant to you or use the prompt to create a character. Who is in it? What are they doing? Why does that particular picture matter? When people have to decide what they would grab in a fire, after living things they nearly always say photographs. Why? And what is so special about that one?
