Writer Prompt Wednesday ~ May 4, 2016

Welcome back to my almost-weekly feature, just for fun.
On Wednesdays I am going to post a random picture I find online (and yes, I will make sure not to violate any copyrights)and I will ask everyone to contribute to a "story" by adding a sentence in the comments.
Be sure to read the comments before yours so that we actually write a continuous story inspired by the picture.
Got the plan?   Good.Here's this week's picture:



I'll start:
I would say it was a dark and stormy night,...

Being the Oldest Generation ~ #MondayBlogs

Both of my parents were gone by the time I was 25 and both of my in-laws by the time I was 27. All four were present at our wedding 40 years ago. Hubby and I miss them all but we were lucky to have very rewarding, rich and close friendships with each. I do feel bad for my children who never knew their grandparents (although our daughter was 14-months old when her paternal grandmother passed). A lot of time has been spent while we tell our offspring stories about their grandparents so that the...

Another Dream & a Chance to Do Something to Help - Weekend Writing Warriors / 8sunday / 05/01/16

Hi! Welcome to another Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday round. Every week writers post 8-to-10 sentences on their blogs from a published or unpublished book.

Moments of Memories ~ #Monday Blogs

You’re standing at the stove and preparing a holiday dinner, suddenly all you can see in front of you is an image of your mom in front of her kitchen stove preparing the dinner for the same holiday many years earlier. Memories of a childhood long ago spring to the forefront unexpectedly, welcomed by your heart and met with a tear on your cheek.
It’s Passover in our home and I prepare the Seder for a family gathering each year. Our table is filled with our children and their spouses, close frie...

People Hear What They Want to Hear ~ #MondayBlogs

Why is it that two people can listen to the exact same thing and yet hear totally different things?
Don’t worry about answering, it’s a rhetorical question.
People tend to read into difficult words rather than merely taking them at face value. “That dress really looks nice on you. It’s got a very slimming effect.” — Oh no! Does that mean I look fat? — Instead of accepting what is probably a very genuine compliment, suddenly there are tears, hurt feelings and probably anger. And that is how argu...

Measuring Success ~ #MondayBlogs

How do you measure a person's success?
Some folks measure success based on money and material possessions, how high their salary is and how expensive the car that they drive is. Other's measure success by a person's title, are they THE BOSS, have they risen through the ranks of a corporate ladder, do they have multiple degrees...

While there is no denying that money and what it can buy is nice, and it certainly is impressive to see diplomas from highly ranked schools adoring an office wall - I...
