Friday Notions #90

The purpose of this blog is to help writers with their work, to be museful or perhaps instrumental in unclogging thoughts. To this end, I am providing a daily question, beginning sentence, beginning paragraph, prompt, and word-of-the-day to stimulate your “little gray cells.”

Question: What discussion are you looking forward to?

Sentence: All Skeeter ever wanted was to be dead.

Paragraph: Determined to tackle the pile of ironing, Beth set up the board in front of the television and grabbed some hangers from the closet. After filling the reserve with distilled water, she plugged in the iron and tuned into a Charlie Chan movie on TCM. Oh, good! She made a glass of iced tea, picked up the top shirt, and was settling into the chore when something crashed through the window.

Prompt: Relate a moment of slipping off your moral track.

Word of the Day: ingeminate – vt. [Now Rare] to stress or make more forceful by repeating (WEBSTER’S NEW WORLD COLLEGE DICTIONARY, 3rd ed., 1996)

If your work needs a title, tweaking, or critiquing, please do not hesitate to ask. Cyranette is here for you.

I was born/raised in Indiana and have lived in Massachusetts, Texas, and California. I have visited: most of the United States, British Columbia, Germany, Austria, and Costa Rica. My husband and I would like to visit England, Europe, and New Zealand and to take a train ride along the Canadian/American border. I have written essays, articles, short stories, a romance novel, a self-help book, and several children's books.
