Elephants Child is providing our prompts this month in the Words for Wednesday writing challenge, this is a fun challenge so please join in and enjoy where the words take you, all you have to do is write a story, poem, or whatever comes to mind. Use some of the words or all of the words, and even the image EC provided, just let your imagination flow.
If you join in leave a comment on Elephant Child's blog so everyone else can enjoy your addition.
This weeks prompts are:
agonizing, murder, sleet, stimulating, flowers, offer
And/or
dramatic, distinct, zany, typical, sip, discovery
My Favorite Author
"It was a dark and stormy night", this was the TYPICAL beginning of ever story he ever wrote. He was known as the World Famous Author and was always AGONIZING over the plots and subject matter of his stories. His stories were STIMULATING and ZANY, and mostly rejected by his publishers, but I still love him and he is my Hero.
I don't recall any dark stories that he ever wrote, nothing about MURDER and Mayhem or anything not really G rated, he did OFFER stories of action and adventure, DRAMATIC tales of his tangling with The Red Baron as the World War I Flying Ace, actually flying through rain, SLEET, and snow to eventually save the day.
Snoopy is bound to be listed as one of your favorite authors...Right?
Sitting at my desk I look at my World Famous Author calendar that my daughter got me for Christmas, last year, a few years, several years...OK she got this for me a Long time ago.
My mornings begin with a SIP of coffee, a walk out to my little office in the bunkhouse, surrounded by birds, bees, unicorns, and FLOWERS along the way...OK I go out and feed the horse and release the chickens for the day, then I adjust the date on my Snoopy calendar and check my email and blog.
Just like my blog there is nothing DISTINCT about this post other than my love for Snoopy, as I said before he is my hero, and I just wanted for you to smile today...OK I do love my wife more, just don't tell Snoopy, because the DISCOVERY of this just may cause him to reject my next story.

I love the story and I love your calendar. Way cool.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
Thank you Sandee, I always loved that calendar since I got it.
DeleteA great day to you too.
I have always been a BIG fan of Snoopy. What a great calendar; one that will never go out of style!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever been to Knott's Berry Farm? I like going there just to see Snoopy ;)
DeleteWhat a great calendar and what a wonderful story. Maybe some day I will try to write a story that includes words provided by another blogger. Have no idea how that would come out.
ReplyDeleteInger, You just may surprise yourself on how well you will do with the words when you give it a try.
DeleteBig, big smiles. It was a dark and stormy night indeed... And I love that calendar. Your daughter knows you well.
ReplyDeleteLee's and my story have gone up on my blog.
Hi EC, I read both yours and Lee's stories, as always you both did really good. Our Daughter usually hits a home run when she gets gifts for us, I have used this one for quite a few years.
DeleteI love dark and stormy nights, even in books I can feel the electrified air as thunderheads gather and lightning flashes. I love Snoopy too, but my hero is Hobbes, the tiger beloved by Calvin.
ReplyDeleteI'll be working on my story tomorrow and posting on Friday as always, unless I can't think of anything. My mind is MIA at the moment.
Hey River, Maybe you could feature Hobbes in a story, I have a feeling between Calvin and Hobbes, and Lola that your imagination could run a little wild ;-)
DeleteI can draw Snoopy from several angles and love amusing children with my ability to draw such a beloved character.
ReplyDeleteDrawing Snoopy for the children definitely will make you a favorite among all the other parents, everyone loves Snoopy.
DeleteThat is a cool calendar. I think even Lucy might approve, as long as she wasn't kissed by dog lips, and it didn't encroach on the space for her Psychiatric Help booth.
ReplyDeleteVery true Val, and Lucy is a tough cookie to get over to Snoopy's side too.
DeleteJimmy, that's very well written, I'm soon going out in the cold with a hot cup of coffee to get some fresh air.
ReplyDeleteI'll check my new blog later, in case you happen to stop by my friend.
Thank you Lon, I've already dropped by your new blog my friend.
DeleteI have Snoopy decals (with him sitting at a typewriter) on my car's back windows. They help me find my car in a parking lot. I glue a fresh Snoopy trinket on my husband's grave marker every spring because he was a huge fan. So I get how someone can call him their favorite author. LOL Another great word challenge polished off like the pro you are, Jimmy.
ReplyDeleteJean, I knew that you would appreciate a post about Snoopy, I had a feeling that he was your favorite author also.
DeleteThank you Jean, I appreciate you so much.
Hmmm! I feel slightly jealous that you have a Snoopy calendar and I, one who absolutely loves him, have none. You're a dab hand at writing with chosen words, Jimmy, well done.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Valerie, We will need to find a Snoopy calendar for you then, my daughter gave me that one a good ten years ago.
DeleteThank you Valerie, I am really honored with your nice compliment.
Valerie here is a link to one on Amazon that Arkansas Patti found.
DeleteSnoopy Perpetual Calendar
Thank you, Jimmy and Arkansas Patti. In great excitement I raced along to the link you gave only to find they can't accept UK purchasers. It's a cruel world!
DeleteNow you have me searching, if you use e-bay they have one listed and their shipping institutions list the UK as one of their locations, this one also has a buy it now price. Snoopy Perpetual Calendar
DeleteWho doesn't love Snoopy and his faith in his penmanship?
ReplyDeleteI agree Liz, Everybody has to love Snoopy
DeleteThat calendar makes it impossible to start the day with a frown. Pretty sure I will Google one as soon as I hit publish here in hopes of finding one like it.
ReplyDeleteHey Patti, this one has sure been the source of a lot of smiles for me.
DeleteFound one. Amazon carries them.
ReplyDeleteI saw that Patti, here is a link for anyone interested.
DeleteSnoopy Perpetual Calendar
Great story about a truly great author, Jimmy!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Fran, He is truly an excellent writer.
DeleteSnoopy and the Red Baron......enemies forever. This was was a fun one Jimmy. Thanks. I needed a chuckle today.
ReplyDeleteHello Delores, I am so happy that you got a chuckle out of it, Snoopy is always good for a smile.
DeleteI've tried those word challenges but I haven't developed the knack for it. Yours was good.
ReplyDeleteThey can be a lot of fun Rick, I kicked it around for a while before I tried the first one, they do help me think and adjust my thought process when I start getting stuck on what to write.
DeleteUnicorns? I haven't seen any of those lately!
ReplyDeleteNice little story Jimmy. If I can find the time, maybe I'll participate some time.
Sometimes when you get up real early and haven't quite woken up yet, those horses can favor a Unicorn ha ha.
DeleteI bet you would do a good job when you decide to jump in also.
This is very SWEET story for adorable writer Jimmy !
ReplyDeleteyour wife is so lucky to have you and i am so do you
Thank you Baili, I am so lucky to have her, I appreciate your kindness my friend.
