Wednesday's Words

***********************************





Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and has become a moveable feast of word or picture or music prompts to encourage us to write stories, poems, or whatever strikes our fancy.    


This month, yours truly is providing the prompts for Words for Wednesday on my blog.


Since it becomes Wednesday in some parts of the world while it is still Tuesday here, i am providing the prompts as of midnight, Canberra time, so you can work on them and post them when it's Wednesday where you are.  


Post your story in the comments here, or in the comments on my Wednesday post, or on your own blog.  If you do the latter, please leave us a link so we can come read your story.


Please feel free to use some of the prompts, none of them, or all of them as you see fit.  The point is to get the creative juices flowing in whatever manner your muse leads you.


This week's prompts are:


easy

student

invasion

encourage

housing

spectrum


and/or the following archaic words


gaud -- a trinket

moil -- drudgery

pore on -- think about, dwell on thoughtfully


As an additional prompt you may wish to use, Charlotte(MotherOwl) has chosen Straw Yellow as the color of the month.

  1. This is interesting. Will pore on and see what I come up with. I am going to start using moil. What a great word!

  3. Java Bean: "Ayyy, I have heard 'pore over' plenty of times, but never 'pore on'! Unless we are talking about pouring syrup on pancakes ... Mmm, pancakes ..."
