Welcome back to this week’s Writing Workshop…
Our writing prompts this week were:
1. Write the story of a ‘first’.
- Inspired by Mother Without a Bath contemplating her first flight with her new baby.
2. Tell us about a time you stood up for something you believed in, or challenged someone breaking the rules. What were the consequences?
- Inspired by Insomniac Mummy and her battle with the queue jumpers.
3. Taking stock: where are you now?
- Inspired by It’s a Mummy’s Life and her beautiful post exploring that question.
4. Write a post telling someone in authority the words you wish you were brave enough to say or feel they need to hear.
- Inspired by Sian in New York right now with Save the Children busy meeting political leaders as they discuss the MDG targets and the issues of global poverty, disease, hunger and inequality. Keep up the great work Sian and fingers crossed for some powerful changes this week.
5. Waiting
- Inspired by all the people I know waiting for the arrival of their babies or who have finally had them! (and their seems to ruddy hundreds of you). Good luck to @pinkyaks, @pantswithnames, and MummyMatters and congratulations to @cartside, @jax2000, and @SuburbanMummyUK and anyone else I’ve forgotten!
Which one did you chose?
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) 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.
