Special Mom’s blog

Here are the prompts for this week’s Writer’s Workshop:

1. Write a post based on the word gym.
2. Write a post in exactly 10 sentences.
3. Write about moving from one place to another.
4. Do you ever refuse to watch a filmmaker’s or actor’s movies, or buy someone’s music or books, because of their personal bad behavior? Or do you separate the person from their work? Write about it.
5. Write an opinion post called “Fruitcake is unfairly maligned.”
6. Write about how your body has changed as you’ve gotten older.

Prompts today are from the book 5,000 WRITING PROMPTS: A Master List of Plot Ideas, Creative Exercises, and More by Bryn Donovan.

The Writer’s Workshop is open to anyone and everyone. Here’s how you can join us:

1. I will publish the weekly prompts on Tuesday at noon Eastern Time.
2. Choose one of the prompts (or as many as you want) and write a post on your blog that addresses that prompt.
3. When you have published your post, leave a comment on this post with the URL of the post on your blog. If you’re a WordPress user, you may use a pingback to do this (just be sure it’s there when you do so). You have until noon (Eastern Time) next Tuesday to post for this week.
4. Try to comment on as many of the other participants’ posts as possible.

Today, I took my boy out for a walk. I had to decide if we had to go inside the gym or walk outside. My car did let me know it was 54 degrees! The sun was out and it looked warm. Then I noticed, it was windy!!!! The wind chill usually makes it harder to walk outside. I was in two minds now. Should I take my boy inside and we do multiple activities or enjoy the outdoor weather.

I really didn’t want to go inside the gym since the temperatures were going to drop tonight! I saw few kids in the playground and some runners, walkers and joggers in the field! I then decided to, we may skip the gym and went for our walk.

It was not a brisk walk, my boy took his own sweet time to stroll! He stopped at various places enjoying the wind hitting his face and made the way around the park! In fact we even went inside the trail, as I was loosing his patience with him. The walk was too slow.

Anyhow I was truly happy I made this choice! Fresh air and sun is always good. He may have lost more calories inside the gym but today was a day we needed to spend the time out!

Over the course of next few days, I plan to write to prompts for as many bloggers as I can to finish 2024 with a bang! WordPress prompts are good and they appear on my home screen. But there are so many bloggers out there with wonderful prompts and I hope to follow them and hopefully write to their prompts in 2025. I may be writing more than a post a day this week, but I think that would be a great exercise for me.
