Five Minute Friday: {writer}

{writer}


am i a writer?

writers write
with ease
and beauty
weaving 
words
with wonder

writers wait
writers think
writers write
writers erase
writers start over
writers give up
writers cry
writers try again
writers play
writers wonder
writers dream
writers laugh
writers share
writers celebrate

with wonder
words
weave
with beauty
and ease
writers write

i am a writer.

Ruth Ayres originally introduced me to 
the Five Minute Friday  writing challenge hosted by Lisa-Jo Baker.
The challenge is to write for five minutes on a given word.  Just write.
This is my first attempt.  Today I thought I was only writing to the prompt, 
but decided to link up anyway.

    What a great post! Love the way ideas seem to jump out during that 5 minute writing challenge. Last night I was feeling stuck when writing a post, and I thought abut 5 minute Friday. So I challenged myself to my own little 5 minute writing challenge based on what I learned from doing these!

    Congrats on being a writer! :)

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third.

Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
