My favorite tree is old and wild. It surpasses the lifespan of my great-grandfather...oh if those limbs could talk. I approach it's base with curiosity and  awe as it stands there, holding it's ground. It's trunk stretches high and wide. What dignity. Under it I am safe, pulled in close by the embracing branches and shadowing leaves. Below my feet it's roots spread far, bursting to the surface of the earth that can no longer hold them under. They are crooked and sure. For ages the tree has stood. Through storm and sun it has thrived from the blessings of mother nature and now it gives back with all it's glory and wonder and strength. My favorite tree is old and wild.

A smell and where it came from...

It barged into my nostrils like a rude neighbor through the front door. Everything in my being rejected the putrid stench whose origin was still unknown. There was no relief. It crept its way through my senses until it reached my brain. Almost instantly I knew. Yes! Now I know. The haunting odor was indeed emanating from under the old wooden couch frame. I fearfully lifted the thing up as if I were competing in the Iron Woman contest. I opened my eyes. There, on the carpet, lay a graveyard of once edible baby carrots stashed there by the four year old living in my house. Better call the exterminator.  

introducing...

So I got this book for Christmas called "642 Things To Write About" and it's awesome. Inside are different prompts to fuel some creativity and get you writing about things you normally wouldn't. The space to write in the book is small so it doesn't feel like a huge commitment.

I've had so much fun starting out with this book that I thought I'd post some of what I've written. As part of the blogging community, I think part of what we are meant to do is inspire one another. My hope is that this will encourage you to maybe try your hand at writing little bits of reality or fiction that you otherwise wouldn't have.

Wanna join me? Look for these posts every Tuesday and write your little heart away from the prompt. If you end up posting it on your blog, let me know and I'll put a link up on mine to yours anytime that week. Fun, right? Right. Cheers to sharing creative writing! And happy new year!
