31 Days of 5-Minute Free Writing- Day 1: Story

Here we are in October.

HOW ON EARTH DID THAT HAPPEN????

This year seems to have flown by – we MUST be having fun, right?

Well, in October, in the blogging world, we do something called:

31 Days of Five-Minute Free Writing!

Sounds fun, right?

You should link up!!

So, here’s how it works. 

Every day, there is a one-word prompt.

Set your timer for 5-minutes, 

and write whatever your little heart

desires for FIVE minutes only!

Here are the 31 words- in case you’re interested:

Today’s word is STORY.

Let me set my timer and get started….

Once upon a time. 

Every good story begins with those four words: 

Once-Upon-A-Time.

So, I supposed I should start mine that way so it’ll feel like a “real” story….

Once upon a time, in the land of nowhere, lived a little girl with no hair. 

She cried because she thought she was ugly. 

Her sister told her that she was lovely; 

Her brother told her that she was lucky; 

Her mother told her she was brave; 

her father told her she was courageous. 

Every day that she fought the tears, she felt tenacious.

As she walked into that room of wires and vials, 

she knew she had to be courageous. 

She was fighting a battle, 

but was determined to keep up the smiles.

Now she has a head full of hair. 

Her sister still says she was lovely; 

her brother still says she was lucky; 

her mother still calls her brave; 

her dad still says she was courageous. 

And even though her battle is over, her story is outrageous.
