#102 -- Smorgasbord

So, a "smorgasbord" is a buffet-style meal served in Sweden, traditionally at the holidays; in America it is a serve-yourself-whatever-you-want-type restaurant. Here, it can be either of these things, or you can choose a prompt from among the first 101 Sunday Scribblings prompts! I don't think there is anyone who has done them all, and I thought it was time to collect them all together, so here they are. Choose away!

[Warning: Don't you dare link to an old post on this one!!]

What would you attempt if you knew you would not fail? --- Real Life --- When we were wee --- Chocolate --- Why I live where I live --- My Shoes --- The books I would write --- Three Wishes --- First Love --- Earliest Memory --- Mystery --- Bed --- Music --- Two Peas in a Pod --- Hotel Stories --- With Baggage --- Thief! --- My 2 Cents --- Who else I might have been --- Who else can I still be? --- The Inner Life of Pets --- Monster --- Fortune Cookie --- I would never write... --- Google Magic --- Instructions --- Skin --- If I could stop time --- Good --- Bedtime Stories --- Morning --- I don't want to be a passenger in my own life. --- Hero --- Nemesis --- In the last hour --- Punishment and Reward --- Anticipation --- Change --- Destination --- Kissing --- I have an idea --- Fantasy --- Chronicles --- Goodbyes --- Yummy --- Crush --- Troubled --- Superstition --- Dream Journey --- Inspiration --- In the Kitchen --- Deepest darkest --- In the news... --- Secret Identity --- Rooted --- Wings --- Ocean --- Second Chance --- Masks -- Simple --- The Town Mouse & the Country Mouse --- Spicy --- Eccentricity --- I have a secret --- What's your sign? --- Slippery --- Hair --- Wicked --- Phenomenon --- Decision --- Goosebumps --- Dear Diary --- I get that sinking feeling --- the end --- Writing --- Collector Personality --- Hi, my name is... --- Powerful --- First Job, Worst Job, Dream Job --- My first act as Queen/King of the World would be... --- Hospital --- Money --- Left & Right --- I Carry --- Misspent youth --- Walk --- Competition --- Dance --- Holiday Memories --- Now & Then --- New --- The Date --- Fellow Travelers --- Miscellaneous --- Foul --- Fridge Space --- Sleep (and/or Teeth) --- Passion --- Time Machine --- The Experiment

and that brings us up to date on almost 2 years of Scribblings. Take your pick, and have fun!

What a fabulous idea! :)
My problem with so much variety is that I'll have to choose. I like the variety per se, choosing is the problem.
*sigh* I'll have to sleep on it.

Thanks for the tasty smorgasbord. I helped myself to a serving of "Morning" and to another of "Three Wishes," combining them in Morning & Three Wishes.

But in my defence, I had a fantastic time writing this.

Good day Scribblers,
Such an array of choices today. Literally a smörgåsbord of literary endeavors. I'm in a conundrum; I don't know which to taste first.
May I suggest to you, to place this morsel on your plate:

This one ended up in a totally unexpected place.

Since I haven't been a very regular contributor, I thought I'd catch up all at once. I used all the prompts, minus the 8 I've already used.

Much, much more difficult than I thought. I found out it ain't easy trying to write something even semi-coherent out of that many different prompts!

I love planning THESE kinds of smorgasboards:
http://roswellgray.livejournal.com/111845.html

Is there a way that there could be a quick link set up so the smorgasboard of topics could become a permanent buffett, say, if we WANTED to try to do all of them?

Cool, cool. This is my first Sunday Scribble. I chose to do one on "Sleep (and/or Teeth)". I was informed of the Scribble by thisgirlremembers, and it was a ton of fun. My post can be found at http://lifedoesntimitate.wordpress.com/2008/03/15/12/

Another better late than never... Your prompt #102, my SS week #5, “Sunday Scribblings – The smorgasbord challenge” I broke the rules and turned it into a challenge for myself, to see if I could write something in true overstuffed smorgasbord style, with all 102 Sunday Scribblings prompts crammed into it...AND have it turn out not too horribly... I'm not thrilled with the result, but it could be worse. It was fun and it WAS a challenge.

You must have been reading my mind! Last week my sister and I set up an inspirational art and writing blog for my high school students(and anyone else). Then they asked me to teach them how to start a blog. So today I did and I decided to use their blogs instead of the traditional journals used in most high school English classes. On the way home from school I realized that I needed a list of tipics, and like magic here one is . Thank you!!!!
