Fun Monday Wordzzle - Whose line is it anyway?
The long awaited Fun Monday Assignment is in.
Thank you so much to all those who submitted words and themes. They were all wonderful. I'm so glad I left the decision to the fates and didn't have to choose any myself. Otherwise, I'd still be belaboring it.
Because there were so many submissions, I've decided to choose three themes, ten main words, and five wild card words.
So, this is the assignment:
Themes to choose from:
A visit by your mother in law
Bedtime Stories
Raising a Teenager
The words: Ostrich, goosebumps, magazines, soup, cats, lethargic, noodles, tequila, doorknob, biscuit
Wild card words: prehistoric, Jedi Knight, cactus, periscope, humor
Your job is to write a story (true or made-up), poem, song, letter... whatever strikes you ABOUT one of the three themes. You must INCLUDE all 10 words. Wild cards words may be used in addition to or in place of the main 10 words.
A couple of tricks to this are: If you get stuck on a word use it as a title for something or a name. You may use any derivation of the word or put words together. Your imagination is the limit.
Here is a short example of what you should do.
The example theme is Gardening:
I just wrote this on the fly... I hope you will be more creative than this and come up with some great stuff for us to read.
In case you're wondering, this is an inspiration by Raven's Saturday Wordzzle Challenge. I just mixed it up a bit.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if you're confused about something. I want this to be fun, not stressful.
Happy writing and don't forget to sign up to Mr. Linky!

I love to be in the garden in the fall. I harvest all the fresh veggies to make soups. My neighbor's cats, Goosebumps, Ostrich, and Jedi Knight love to come over and visit. In the cool evenings, I go out with a glass of tequila and some old magazines. As I pull out the fresh veggies, I lay down the shredded old magazines for mulch. Then I toss noodles, biscuits and any other left overs in the composter for next year. I have to be careful with the booze though. One day I got so lethargic I could barely turn the doorknob to get back in the house. I didn't see the humor in that until much later.

This will take some embellishments since have no experience with mothers in law, bedtime stories, or rearing teenagers. I'll try it, but may have to bend the rules, okay?
