One-Minute Writer-Entrepreneur

Today's OMW prompt is to write about a business that I would like to start. I wrote:

"If I had the moxie, I would start a little school where I would teach art and writing. It would also acquaint the rural area that I live in with the arts by having student shows and readings in the community, thereby encouraging others to find their talents for the arts."

You can go to the comments section of OMW to read what others dreams for starting a business are.

One-Minute Writer-Creative

Today's OMW prompt is creative. Other than OMW, in what ways will I be creative today? I wrote:

"It's another cold, dark, and cloudy day here. I feel the urge to go back to bed. However, the urge to do my daily sketch, write a blog entry and a short story, with a little housework thrown in, is over-riding the first urge."

One-Minute Writer-Magic

Today's One-Minute Writer topic is Magic. Tell about a magical time you've experienced. Here's what I wrote:

"It was late afternoon a couple of days ago. The sun was setting, turning everything golden. Hubby and I sat on the edge of the bed watching a herd of deer frolicking in the hayfield. They were playing tag in the sage grass, running in and out of the long shadows, flagged tails flashing. They were unafraid and so carefree for the moment.

When they tired of playing and went back to grazing we came back to the kitchen to discover a large red fox eating with the cats outside. It was a magical, awesome few minutes that only God could create."

One Minute Writer-Imitation

Today's one-minute writer prompt is: It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If so, who would you like to imitate, and in what way?

I wrote:

"Aside from Jesus, there are many people who have traits that I admire, but I'm old enough now that I just want to have the courage to be a good version of myself."

Being ourselves is not an easy task. :)

One Minute Writer--Missing

Today's One Minute Writer theme: What's missing from your life? Are you trying to find it?

"Time and organization are missing in my life. As I get older, the time goes faster and faster it seems like, and I just can't seem to find the time to get organized anymore. My house is a disaster and I can't get as much of anything accomplished as I used to. Yes, I am trying to find organization, which will also give me more time."

That's what I posted on their blog, but my dad and my mother-in-law are also missing from my life, and I miss them very much.

One Minute Writer--Toast

Today's one minute writer challenge is toast. If I was at an event and had to make a toast I'd raise my glass and say:

"I raise my glass to all of those who not only believe in paying acts of kindness forward, but actually do it."

If I Had A Store, What Would I Sell?

The One Minute Writer challenge for today is store. If I had a store, what would I sell? You only have one minute to write your answer. This is my first time participating, so I didn't use my whole minute this time, but here's what I posted:

"The store of healing, dreams,and art would be open for business, with books and music everywhere. Everyone would be welcome!"
