Writing Workshop: The Dog Ate It

Welcome back to this week’s Writing Workshop.

It’s going to have to be one of those weeks where I bunk off I’m afraid. As some of you know I’ve had some ‘stuff’ going on this week. Nothing serious, but it’s left me really distracted and fidgety and struggling to concentrate on anything that requires anything remotely resembling brain power.

I spent two hours in front of the computer last night with a blank cursor blinking, cried, then went to bed.

Which just goes to show it happens to all of us.

So it’s over to you. This week I want you to make an extra effort to click on a name or blog in the list that you don’t know and go leave a comment.

Which prompt did you chose?

1. Tell us a tale of wanton destruction and chaos; share your stories of mess and mayhem.
- Inspired by lovely new blogger Nudie Princess and the sh*t her kid ruins…

2. Write about something that was worth waiting for – what was worth the patience and frustration?
-Inspired by new mummy’s Tiddlyompompom and And One more Means Five who both had gorgeous babies this last week. Congratulations!

3. “You just don’t get it!” – share a story about a time you felt that your other half, or somebody else, failed to understand something important about your life, your personality, or your needs.
- Inspired by Cafe Bebe who wrote about her worries about whether her hubby understands her blogging hobby and how to get the balance right.

4. Have you ever felt bullied? At school? At work? In your personal life? How did you deal with that? Tell us your story.
- Inspired by Mummy Tips and her post about feeling the affects of bullying this week.

5. Write about a time that common sense took a rain-check. Perhaps you were given a piece of ridiculous advice, or you lost your own sense of perspective for a while?
- Inspired by Muddling Along Mummy and her plea for the world to return to using its common sense

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) and leave 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 till Sunday to enter your link! 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.
