Writing Prompt Wednesday #57: Two of My Favorite Children’s Christmas Stories

For this week’s writing prompt, I thought I would mention two of my favorite children’s Christmas stories. Each year I purchase a special hardback book for the family and so have a small collection that I put out and lean against the entertainment center for anyone to look at. But there are two I particularly […]

Everyone wants to do things differently, to make changes or improvements. If […]

Writing Prompt Wednesday: #54 Election 2016-Let it Go!

This week’s writing prompt comes hours after the 2016 American presidential election. Thank God the nightmare is over.

Writing Prompt Wednesday #53: Election Comic Relief

I can hardly stand to hear about our embarrassing election fiasco or either of the candidates. Let alone watch them.
