Tuesday Writing Essentials

I'm running late today - having a hard time getting motivated to get moving - so just a quickie right now...

It's Tuesday - and like every Tuesday, you are invited to drop a comment telling us about your best work on Gather. Or someone else's - we are always happy to check out your recommendations.

 

Or, if you prefer a writing challenge - pick up a "loser" character you've created already (or create one) and plunk them into a situation where they get to be the best at something. 

Your goal should be not only to tell us about how they get to be the best - but also how they react to the experience.

Good morning. It will be interesting to read about the characters people come up with.

Good morning flit...I'm running late too...should have left this house fifteen minutes ago for the city and I still haven't taken my shower. When you get up at 4 how does the morning slip away so fast?

Clever prompt, flit!!
Granny Janny H. Jul 15, 2008, 9:53am EDT
Loser wins...gotta love it!

morning and good prompt

how about WRITING about one, Lynn
Jan S. Jul 15, 2008, 10:00am EDT
I highly recommend Jenn K's Sweetheart Pie
I've been following the story from the beginning and it's a wonderful, heartwarming story!
Patricia F. Jul 15, 2008, 10:51am EDT
I will wander through my stuff...
Sharon P. Jul 15, 2008, 12:38pm EDT
Hi Flit, I'll see what I can find for you.
Sheila Deeth Jul 15, 2008, 2:41pm EDT
I've actually arrived here in the morning - my time. But I'll be waking and feeding sons soon, so I'll have to rush if I'm going to find something for you.

Good one
Bethany C. Jul 15, 2008, 3:48pm EDT
I really like a poem I wrote recently called I Take Heart. About that character, I'll try to think of one.
John Philipp Jul 15, 2008, 4:27pm EDT
Excellent prompt, Flit.

Sharon P did a great job with it :)

I appreciate it Sue :)

I'm writing a pece with two losers - twin brothers named Davy and Howy. People call them "huh" and "duh". I think what are they good for?.....well, they are gearheads, as is everyone else around here.

but they are also good for a laugh.
Sophiya S. Jul 15, 2008, 6:55pm EDT

amy s. Jul 15, 2008, 7:26pm EDT

driven crazy
Bethany C. Jul 15, 2008, 7:35pm EDT
Okay, I wrote one of my loser characters in a story. Here it is, Aldus Peabody's Romance
Elsie Duggan Jul 15, 2008, 7:52pm EDT

Pat M. Jul 16, 2008, 6:07am EDT
Gidday Flit. As usual I'm a day late and a dollar short. Got an idea from your prompt, but will never make it in time for this week. I never write quickly. If it's OK with you, I might submit to Tuesday WE next week, if the primpt is still open...
edna r. Jul 16, 2008, 8:40am EDT
look forward to reading what others come up with
flit . Jul 16, 2008, 9:53am EDT

I haven't done mine yet either
Sharon P. Jul 16, 2008, 6:50pm EDT
Thanks Flit, I appreciate the feature.
Laurun M. Jul 27, 2008, 10:04am EDT
This sounds like a great challenge. Now that I've FINALLY finished my classes I might give it a try, even if I am late.
