A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in Sammi’s Comment Section.
Although it doesn’t always, my title does factor into my word count this week.
LONGEVITY
“He’s too wild. She’s only 18 and he’s 25. I give it six months.” My mother told her friends. To me she repeated, “If things don’t work out you still have a bed here.”
The day I announced my first pregnancy her invitations changed to, “You made your bed, now you can lie in it.”
48 years, three sons and two granddaughters later, I still wake up in my bed next to my wild man.
