stream of consciousness...
this is somewhat like brainstorming. Write down the first thought that comes to your mind and then just free-flowing write whatever comes after. Here's my attempt:
I feel like there's so much going on in my brain. It's hard for me to collect my thoughts and sometimes I wonder if I actually have a brain. That reminds me of the wizard of Oz... "if I only had a brain..." and if the scarecrow didn't have a brain then how did he sing and dance around the set? And if the tin man didn't have a heart he would be dead... duh. That's kind of a stupid movie. And it wasn't actually much like the book. I hated the movie when I first watched it. I think I was with Steve's wife or ex-wife... I forget her name now. The witch scared me with her giant balls of fire. I hated that she was green. And of course there was the tornado which terrified me and the storm shelter with it's wimpy, flimsy door... now we live in tornado alley and it doesn't give me much comfort to have a storm shelter in the backyard. Essentially it's a 7x7 concrete bunker with a rusty door, spiders, and a little 8 inch hole at the top for an oxygen supply. So what if a tornado comes, we're stuck inside, and a tree falls on the door and lands right on top of our oxygen? Or we are screaming and no one can hear us? I think we can get cell phone service down there... I need to cancel my T-mobile cell phone and get the cheaper account. Should we go with Boost Mobile or iWireless? Boost Mobile definitely has an incredible deal. But I want a cool phone... one that I can text and check email on. Man, our breezeway is a dump. I can't wait to have it finished so we can put the family room out there... and then landscape the yard. Those dogs are a pain in the ass.

Writing Prompts continued...
Hey friends- Sorry it has been a while. I will keep the writing prompts going again. Thanks for all of you who ask for it and keep my blog in mind. Happy writing!
Writing Prompt 1: Write in detail about your childhood home. Try to use your 5 senses to write about what it looked like, felt like, sounds you heard, tastes you experiences, scents you remember. If you had more than one childhood home, write about the one that immediately comes to mind- good or bad.
Writing Prompt 2: Write about your first memory of rejection. Describe how you felt and thoughts you remember having or promises/vows you made to yourself at that time. If you could live that moment over again, what would you do differently?
