#31 - Bedtime Stories

You might choose to write a bedtime story, a fable that begins with "Once upon a time. . . ," or you might reminisce about the one who told YOU bedtime stories (or the one who didn't), or about what bedtime stories mean to you as a parent. Or, you can just tell a story about something that happened at bedtime. Interpret it any way you want!

Newcomers always welcome. And if the links haven't been updated as regularly as we'd like the last few weeks, we're sorry -- we're trying to keep up. Thank you to everyone for participating!

(And one last thing -- there are occasionally links posted that don't have anything to do with the weekly prompt. We don't always notice them when posting the links, but when we do, we tend to not include those links. Please try to respond to the prompt -- if your mind veers wildly away from it, that's fine, let your mind veer, but if there's no indication at all your post has to do with Sunday Scribblings, please don't leave a link. Thank you!)

#29 - If I could stop time. . .

I admit that the prompt this week comes out of my own deepest wish -- to be able to stop time and get more done! If I could draw a single super power from the super power grab bag, that would be it. If I ever shared my lunch with an old gypsy crone who turned out to be a fairy in disguise and she offered me a wish, that would be it. And since right now I sometimes feel like a salmon swimming upstream, I find myself resorting to wishing that absurd wish a little too often.

What would YOU do if you could freeze time?

And also, if you could draw a super power out of the grab bag, what would it be?

Attention Writers!

This is an unusual post because it comes mid-go. I just wanted to let you know when you were coming here to read this week's prompt that National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) 2006 is open for registration right now! If you've never seen it before - have a look. I warn you though - you might just want to participate! (Now go to the next post and Scribble!)

#28 - An Assignment

This week's post is a little different because we are going to give you an assignment. Writing is such a solitary exercise. Usually it's you and your pen/ computer/ pencil/ paper. We often have people quickly scribbling because they are 'going to be away for the weekend.' Well this week we are sending you out into the world to do a bit of reconoitering before you participate.

Assignment - go out into the world armed with your notebook and a good pen. (Bits of paper and napkins are good in a pinch, but as this is a proper assignment, you need to take this seriously.) Find a fairly public place and loiter a bit. People watch for a little while, paying attention to the people who walk by. Watch until you have found someone who you think would be a really good character. Make notes, observing what they look like: their mannerisms, their outfit, their actions, their facial expression, hair colour, etc., etc. Then and only then, return to your computer and provide us with a character sketch. Describe them to us. Who are they? What do they do? What are they afraid of? Where are they going? What do they look like? Help us to get to know them. What sort of piece of writing could they be a part of?

(Then you could write it!)

Newcomers are always welcome - see previous posts to see how it works.

Happy Scribbling!

#26 - Instructions

First let me apologize for the lateness in posting this. I haven't been able to get onto Blogger or any Blogger sites for THREE DAYS! I don't know what happened, but I am finally back!

This week's prompt is: Instructions. It's such an open-ended prompt that I am not going to give you any other words of advice. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Happy Scribbling!
