Jumping Off Places Writing Party!!
WELL, it's been a long time! Our last writing party was back in April! I took a break from this blog, thru some life hardships. I have just returned from a restful vacation and it is time to restart this party!! Write something if you like, write it in your blog then add your link here next Friday, or just keep coming back each Friday to read what everyone has written and enjoy! Maybe the reading will stimulate your creative juices!!
We have all experienced writer's block. I guess you could say that it is all part of writing. [I have had writer's block: I was writing a story about Abby, (see the tabs at the top of this page) and got stuck! It's time to take it up again! Been mulling over some angles and you will see a resumption of the story in this blog shortly. In the mean time, please feel free to read or re-read the story to get up to speed. ]
Now for our Friday linky party! Practicing our writing skills, is what this party all about! Just WRITE! Write something cute, sad, inspiring, scary, or awesome and START with the first lines provided for you--thus the name: Jumping Off Places! (A review of how our party works can be found at the top of this page under the Jumping Off Places tab.)
First Lines for Next Week --Week TEN--September 2nd.

3) Her smart gray suit belied her chosen profession.
4) The squirrel in the tree sat extremely still with his eyes fixed on the stealthily moving cat below.
5) Gasping for air, I literally thought my lungs would burst!
