This meme was started by Delores a long time ago. Computer issues led her to bow out for a while. The meme was too much fun to let go, and now Words for Wednesday is provided by a number of people and has become a movable feast.
Essentially the aim is to encourage us to write. Each week we are given a choice of prompts: which can be words, phrases, music or an image. What we do with those prompts is up to us: a short story, prose, a song, a poem, or treating them with ignore... We can use some or all of the prompts.
Some of us put our creation in comments on the post, and others post on their own blog. I would really like it if as many people as possible joined into this fun meme, which includes cheering on the other participants. If you are posting on your own blog - let me know so that I, and other participants, can come along and applaud.
This month the prompts will be posted here.
This weeks prompts are:
- invincible
- wander
- goofy
- supreme
- purring
- pretend
And/or
- linen
- kick
- puny
- immense
- zoom
- sound
After that it is open to offers. If you are willing/able to provide the prompts please let me know in the comments, specifying which month(s) suit you best.
Washing and ironing the linen can wait. Will wait. Come wander the pathways of my mind.
ReplyDeleteWhen the problems of the world seem immense, and I know that my puny self can do nothing I let my imagination run free. Goofy? Perhaps, but it works for me.
As the karma queen I zoom through the skies, breaking the speed of sound and use my super powers to kick evildoers in the butt. On other days I am evil, sophisticated and beautiful, purring at the destruction I can wreak.
I get immense satisfaction from my games. Come join me. Who will you be?
Hahaha! I wrote and posted my effort before I read what you wrote, EC. As you can see in mine I become Super Woman! Together we can rid the world of all evils! lol
DeleteWell done, EC...and thank you.
There's nothing like a daydream to help make it easier to face the day.
DeleteOh wow....I will be your humble admirer...that's who I will be.
DeleteI think some days I'm a little of both to be honest. I love your musings!
DeleteHow perfect. Your muse kicks butt.
DeleteExcellent!!!!
DeleteI'd wander the pathways of your mind any day, dear lady. Such wonders to discover there...
DeleteYet another great job with the words!
I hope your computer ills are short-lived.
A terrific month of words.....I've enjoyed every Wednesday. You know I'm up for doing a month or three...whatever you need. Thanks for the past month....you are truly a wordmaster.
ReplyDeleteonly slightly confused: Thank you, both for your kindness and for saying you will provide the prompts.
DeleteSomeone is really going to have some fun with that second batch.
ReplyDeleteAlex J. Cavanaugh: They are. Which is lovely.
DeleteThank you for this month's words, EC. They've been fun to play with. :)
ReplyDelete"I WANDER through the field, lost in my own thoughts, with not a SOUND other than the PURRING of my cat, who never leaves my side, to disturb the peace.
In the solitude of my surroundings it’s easy for me to PRETEND I’m INVINCIBLE...for once in my life a SUPREME being, instead of the usual GOOFY, awkward person I am. I’ve become Super Woman. I can ZOOM through the blue yonder at will saving the world.
My imagination, as always, is wildly out of control. My vivid imagination is the only thing that keeps me going.
If only I could KICK my shyness to the kerb it would make an IMMENSE difference to my PUNY life.
Looking at the ornate invitation, one made from flax fibres, with its LINEN-like appearance and feel, I wonder if I am capable of plucking up the courage to attend the grand affair. Perhaps if I could garner the courage to face the madding crowd it would change my life, for the best, forever."
If you can dream it, you can do it.
DeleteLee: Two minds running along similar paths.
DeleteOf course you can do it...you are woman...all powerful.
DeleteYou must attend! And wear your golden, left-handed compliment bullet deflecting wrist bands as well! We will hear your roar!
DeleteThrow caution to the wind! Attend the grand affair:)
DeleteI love reading what everyone wrote!
DeleteI do the same as EC and Lee, when things get me down a bit. My mind just takes off on its own until I feel better about things. We could be sisters, in imagination.
ReplyDeleteI can supply the words for January.
River: I think we all do. Cindi has her hand up for January already. Would February be ok for you?
DeleteFebruary is now pencilled in my diary.
DeleteTHe first six: invincible wander goofy supreme purring pretend
ReplyDeleteThe goofy cat, supreme in his omnipotence, purred happily a la couch .... pretending that he had not seen us return from our wander around the woods ... invincible that he would not be turfed off his sofa seat ... as we decided on tea and cake.
Cheers Hilary
That sounds like a cat!
DeleteHilary Melton-Butcher: Jazz is the supreme being in this house too. The chair, the bed, whatever his black-hearted self requires.
DeleteTypical cat.
Deleteprobably also hoping you would share some cake with him!
DeleteI bet he was right too, Hilary:)
DeleteGot to love our cats! LOL!
DeleteNice job on the words this month EC, I have really enjoyed being part of it. Thank you my friend.

here is the link to mine for this week that I posted on my blog.
Jimmy: I will be over to check your story out shortly.
DeleteA wonderful story!
DeleteThe sound and smell of the fresh linen as I got into bed made me feel special, being rather hot I though later in the night I would kick the side out that was tucked in to help keep my feet cool.
ReplyDeleteAuntie had certainly gone to immense trouble for my yearly visit.
Grab my iPad to read the news but had to zoom in to look at this punky looking women dressed in black from head to toe, and I wondered why – I’m still wondering why!
Well I had a go :)
A very good go! Sometimes the things i see on the "news" make me wonder, too.
DeleteMargaret-whiteangel: Fresh linen is wonderful. The news? Frequently does my head in. Thank you for joining us this week, and I loved your use of the prompts.
DeleteAn excellent go at the words. I love fresh linen sheets also!
DeleteThank you :)
DeleteGood job, M-w! I could feel the coolness of the sheets.
DeleteGreat job! :)

Hello, happy Wednesday! Thanks so much for providing the words this month.
ReplyDeletehttp://messymimismeanderings.blogspot.com/2017/11/tis-season-christmas-card-season.html
messymimi: I have been and marvelled at your story. Sadly your link doesn't work again.
Deletethey probably cut the power as well! An excellent story!
DeleteThe GOOFY cat liked to WANDER and PRETEND he was INVINCIBLE, certain he reigned SUPREME over his little corner of the world. But at the end of the day the little feline could be found curled up in a ball, PURRING in my lap. Both of us content to sit and rock, watching the sun set and daydreaming of new adventures that dawn would bring.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely....a soft little cat purring and dreaming in your lap.
DeleteSandra Cox: It sounds like the perfect ending to the day - for both of you.
DeleteA lovely use of the words! I love purring cats and wish I could record mine!
DeleteAll felines, i think, have this happy idea in their heads. In the end, a full tummy and ear scritches are more important.
DeleteThanks all. We love our purring kitties, don't we?
DeleteThe list of words in the first batch, look fun. Tempting ... ever so tempting ....
ReplyDeleteThe Happy Whisk: Give in to temptation. We all did.
DeleteHere is mine ~ a possible lead-in for next month's words... The Letter
ReplyDeleteMine will be on my blog tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteRiver: I look forward to it.
DeleteI'm sorry you're having computer issues. Hoping you get your computer working again! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteHope you're back soon, EC, with your computer issues fixed. In the meantime, I heard a purring sound coming from the linen cupboard. I wandered over, and to my immense surprise, it wasn't a puny cat after all. It was a cicada, of immense size as cicadas go, making a zooming sound. I kicked the door shut in order to get some peace.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are having computer problems.
ReplyDeleteHoping you can get them fixed soon.
May your weekend be a good one, and Happy December Wishes too.
All the best Jan
