When I was a child, my favorite subject in school was English...geek, I know. I loved that I could let my imagination run wild and "empty" my brain onto paper. I regret not keeping more of my work but I recently found several papers dated 1992. They were pretty funny to go through...I had quite the imagination, lol! I decided to kick off my blog, every Friday I will try my hand at a bit of creative writing! Here is my first attempt!
This exercise must begin with writing the word Remember 3 times and it should prompt something.
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember when life was simpler? Remember when the sound of the shrill whistle caused your feet and legs to smart moving before you realized that it was Dad calling you home? Remember when we were spies and the only thing we had was a map and a flashlight? Remember where the map is? Remember the Arctic adventure we took and the lodge we stopped at for hot chocolate (I learned French there)? Remember when I was a teacher and you were my student? Remember the intense kickball games? Remember the icing on the brownies? Remember that you got a stupid red wagon? Remember "our" day? Remember walking to day camp? Remember boondoggle? I do.
Not the most creative thing I've ever written but it was fun and sure evoked a lot of memories. Dedicated to my baby brother.

ReplyDeleteI wish I could remember more than I do. I have the worse memory ever. I can't even remember things I did in high school :(
