Week 18 (16 on sheet) Treasure Awaits

Prompt Treasure Awaits You receive a letter in the mail from an out-of-town relative asking you to drop everything and meet him in Boston. He doesn't say why, but signs off the letter (just above his name) with the phrase: "Treasure awaits." My Creativity I'd just sat down with my afternoon tea and had started sorting through the mail: bill, bill, junk...I stopped. I didn't recognize the handwriting on the ivory envelope. It was addressed to me, but the return address was smudge. All I could make out was the word Boston. Who did I know in Boston? I examined the off-white envelope, deciding whether to open it. It was sealed with a tiny sticker. The sticker looked like some type of bird, maybe a parrot. The corners were a little bit tattered; had it been dropped in a puddle. It would certainly explain the smudged return address. Without even realizing it, I started opening it up. Hopefully the inside content hadn't been ruined. For the most part it was

Week 17 (15 on sheet) Anonymous Love

Prompt ~ Anonymous Love You've been playing Scrabble with an anonymous person online. After some Internet chatting, you realize that you both live in the same town and decide to meet at a local pub. What you didn't expect was to fall in love. My Creativity I stood in front of the mirror with my third outfit on. Nothing that I chose seemed right. The red dress was too sexy and said I was easy; the jeans and sweater were to casual; the jeans and blouse were to business like. In the end I settled on a cute little shirt, leggings, and high boots. I wore my favourite 3/4 length shirt, with a v-neck line; underneath I wore a coordinating tight undershirt to hide some of the cleavage. Why was this so hard? I was simply going to meet a friend. Someone I've known for months: for months online. There is was, the problem. Did I really know this person? Sure we've been playing scrabble for months and chatting for weeks, but did we really know each other? You hear all the time

Week 16 (week 14 on sheet) - Rejection Letter to Your Past Self

Prompt Rejection Letter to Your Past Self Write a letter of rejection to your past self, explaining why you needed to go through the rough patches that complicated your life to grow as a writer. Note: I have to be honest,I am not sure that I understand what this prompt is asking me to write. I'm not sure if it is the wording or the fact that I am still half asleep. I will give it my best. Creativity Dear Bronwen, Life is full of failures and successes. Sometimes life goes along smoothly and other times life gets complicated. It is these complication that often cause feelings of inadequacy and full the desire to give up. The thing is, these rough patches actually help to change the individual that you become. For as long as I can remember, you've wanted to be a writer. I remember a number of times when the possibility of that dream ever coming true seemed impossible. You can't be a writer because you don't know how to spell, and your grammar is atrocious. Gre

Week 15 (Week 13 on Sheet) - Hypothetically speaking

Prompt Write a paragraph where every sentence contains at least one five-syllable word. Begin with "Hypothetically speaking..." My Creativity Hypothetically speaking what would change if all animals could talk? Perhaps even only telepathically. Would it change the classification of all being? Did I spark your curiosity? I think we, as humans, tend to underestimate what animals are capable of. We automatically assume to have the highest level of intellect. Is it a means of self-preservation? Many evolutionist agree that all things living are changing; even some neurologist agree. Change of any kind is inevitable. note: This was really hard; as you can see by my lame attempt. I wish you better luck than I had.
