The exercise:
Write about: burning.
This heat, you guys. Tonight was the first night we didn't go to the beach to cool off since Saturday, and that was only because none of us could be bothered.
Thankfully we should be past the worst of it now, with things starting to gradually cool off. Maybe it won't reach 40 tomorrow? That would be nice.
The exercise:
Write two haiku about: hell on earth.
Sorry, too hot for clever prompts.
The exercise:
Write about: counting.
Three work days left (Thursday is Canada Day) until the property tax deadline hits. Not that anybody in the office is, well, you know.
The exercise:
Write about: the beach.
Spent most of the weekend at the beach, including having dinner and time in the lake the last two evenings. Gotta beat the heat somehow.
The exercise:
Write four lines of prose about: under the dome.
I feel like, as an adult, I am quite regularly hearing weather terms that I never knew about as a child.
Also? I feel like the similarity to Thunderdome is entirely intentional.
The exercise:
Write something that has to do with: a full moon.
It's remarkable how different work is when the moon is full, as it was today. Particularly when combined with property tax season (deadline is July 2nd, so only a week to go... until people start getting their overdue notices...).
The exercise:
Write two haiku about: under the stars.
Hot enough today that the boys fell asleep in the backyard tonight, as per the prompt.
The exercise:
Write about: crossing over.
I've been writing short (started out as just over a page, then closer to two full pages, and now the last few have been three full pages...) stories for the boys that I read to them on Sunday night. I pushed last night's to tonight because of Father's Day distractions, but I'm pretty pleased that it took until week nine for me to miss the scheduled night.
Anyway. I wrote a Harry Potter story for this week, with a little Lord of the Rings reference slipped in. Thus, your prompt.
The exercise:
Write about: a father figure.
Happy Father's Day, the Canadian version, to any dad's out there reading this. We had a nice, sunny day for it here, with the farm family coming to our home for a backyard dinner this evening.
The exercise:
Write two haiku about: Luke Skywalker.
Star Wars, the boys' other current obsession.
The exercise:
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! The June Edition of The East Wallingford Gazette is fresh off the press!
The exercise:
Write about: the tree house.
Magic or otherwise. Max is polishing those books off pretty much as fast as we can get them from the library. Miles likes having them read to him as well.
The exercise:
Write about: the mutation.
Starting to get impatient. Don't know how much longer I'm supposed to wait before my vaccine superpowers kick in.
The exercise:
Write two haiku about: Gollum.
Boys are on a Lord of the Rings kick, so there have been many, many questions recently. A fair amount of them pertaining to this guy.
The exercise:
Write about: the shot.
Received my first vaccine dose this afternoon. So far only a bit sore, but I'm still holding out hope for a third arm.
The exercise:
Write about: going to the waterfall.
Had a bit more of a hike with Kat this morning than we'd intended, as we explored the Naramata Creek Falls trail. Trails? I dunno. Either way we managed to make a few wrong turns.
Beautiful spot though, and I'm happy to have explored it before taking the boys with us.
The exercise:
Following up on last week's prompt, write a four line poem about: finders, keepers.
The exercise:
Write four lines of prose about something that takes place at: the storyteller's house.
