IWSG - If I Were...

Posting the first Wednesday of every month, The Insecure Writer's Support Group, is  the brainchild of Alex Cavanaugh. YOU can sign up HERE to participate.

Let's give our co-hosts  a warm welcome!

Christine Rains, and Mary Aalgaard!


Usually, to keep my post short and sweet, I give you what I hope is an inspiring quote. But today I'm doing something a little different.

I saw this Meme on Denise Covey's blog and really liked it. Thought I'd try it out for IWSG. I don't know why, but I felt uplifted after doing it. I think you could take any one or all of these and use them as writing prompts, or for journaling, or flash fiction. Think about writing from the POV of a season or a planet. Think about being a tree or flower. Think about being a food, smell, or object.

Feel free to copy and paste it to your own blog. Don't overthink the answers. And remember, there are no wrong answers.
