Writing Workshop… well, kind of…
Welcome back to the Writing Workshop link-up! At the bottom of this post you’ll find the widget to post the link to your workshop posts.
I’m so sorry this week has been a bit of a disaster but I thought I’d get a bare-bones workshop up just so you can at least share all your lovely posts that I know you’ve been busy working on.
As most of you know, Kai’s been in hospital with the awful Rota Virus and poor poppet has been very poorly indeed. After two days horrendous vomiting and then diarrhoea, Kai finally started to perk up a little yesterday afternoon so they’ve let us home for him to recover. Still having to change the most disgusting, toxic, chicken korma sauce nappies but they’re slowing down a bit thank goodness. He’s sleeping and feeding round the clock – it’s like having a newborn again! So mummy here is pretty knackered too but relieved to be home and to see Kai a bit more alert (and grumpy! much more his usual self…)
Hopefully next week will be a bit easier and I’ll be back in bloggy business. But until then, here’s your chance to share your workshop posts of the last week.
Many thanks for taking part, and for the overwhelming number of messages and texts this week. We love you guys x

So now it’s your turn!
1. What’s made you feel a little old lately?
- Inspired byVery Bored in Catalunya’s post ‘The passing hands of time…’
2. Tell me about a time you contracted a bad case of foot IN mouth syndrome and committed an embarrassing faux pas.
- Inspired by Gappy’s ‘The Art of Putting Ones Foot in Ones Mouth. By Me.’
3. Write a post on the theme of ’soul mates’. Do you believe in them? Have you found or lost yours? Or are you still looking?
- Inspired by Crystal Jigsaw’s beautiful and touching post about her husband.
4. Which public figure or famous person inspires you and why?
- Inspired by Raising My Boy Chick’s impending announcement of the Lesbian/Bisexual Woman of the Decade
5. Tell me about a time when you ‘felt the fear and did it anyway’ – when you overcame a fear to make an important change.
- Inspired by ME! and my impending scary re-location
Leave your name and the URL to your post in the MckLinky below (the URL should be to your post not just to your blog) andleave me a comment to let me know you’ve taken part. If you have the time it would be great if you could try and read and comment on at least two other entries. And be kind! It’s supposed to be a bit of fun – we’re not looking for the next Booker Prize winner here!
If you haven’t had chance to respond yet, then you’ve still got today! Or just wait till next week, when there’ll be five brand new prompts to get you thinking.
This Writing Workshop is brought to you in association with Mama Kat’s Losin’ It – who’s lovely author came up with the concept and runs her own workshop over in the U.S.

So glad you guys are back home. Didn’t expect to see this go live this week – you are amazing.
Hope its not cheating to submit 2. I had one already written that was perfect but I still wanted to take part in the workshop!

Now this has been a fun blog to bump into….. I’m in the process of changing my title of ‘aspiring writer’ to ‘writer in the present’…. so your weekly writing prompt workshop looks like fun. I’m putting your link in my sidebar so I won’t ‘lose’ the connection, now that I’ve ‘met’ you.

Holy cow – can’t believe I made it! I was sure I was going to end up missing this week. Of course, I’m so late adding mine probably no-one will see it, but at least it’s on there. 
And I’m very glad to hear Kai’s getting better – children’s tummy bugs are always a nightmare, and how awful for both of you for him to have to be admitted! But at least now he’s on the road to recovery.
