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!
 Lauren Hennessy,
Lisa Buie-Collard, 
Lidy, 
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.

  8. It would be really fun to figure out the psychology behind the answers, but goodness, who has time for that? (I'm totally on a time kick today.)

  10. Hi Bish - I saw this meme - lots of things to think about ... I keep changing my mind ... I'd now say sweet-peas ... but roses too ... savoury not sweet ...

    Cheers Hilary

  12. I love that idea! My favorite is being the sound of waves lapping on the shore!

  13. Turtle!! Yes, I'm a turtle too. I love your list. I've actually written a story from the POV of a crane (the bird) once. I still love that story. Thanks for the interesting ideas! :)

  14. I knew you'd be an island! Perfect for you. And air, too. Very free and fresh. Glad you took the time to do the hop.

  15. Interesting but don't think I would try it. I like the idea of a soaring bird though, think I would be an albatross rather than a buzzard.

  16. I saw this on Denise's blog and liked it too. I think thinking about all kinds of things we like and who we are is very fun. Loved reading your list. :)

    If I was a food, I'd be something from the garden. :)
