This was today's theme for the Writing Essential:
"For today's Writing Essential I'd like you to try your hand at writing the news. Choose an actual headlined topic or make one up. It can be frivolous or serious.
Did you know that Erma Bombeck wrote news copy for a department store newsletter? As a writer, you can never underestimate the importance of anything you write."
We had some great submissions today. I got a real kick out of what is deemed newsworthy....some of these things were right up my alley!
Featured throughout the day were the following submissions:
Thursday News from Daytona Beach by DiAnA D.
Emily Married A Dog! by Stacey *Mamasaid* D.
And this evening's features include the following:
Breaking News: "Thriller" Video Re-Enacted at Forest Lawn Cemetery by Kris M.
All the Pretty Bobbles ~ A Book Review of 'A Poisoned Season' by Tasha Alexander by La Lady Lisa Westerfield
Interview on Sheri Wohl Blog by Paul M.
You're sure to find the "news" both enlightening and entertaining!

thanks for all you do KImberly!
Sounds like a fun theme.
Thank you Kimberly.
That is a wide range of "news" stories. Great theme for the day...sorry that I missed it.
I read all of these, and enjoyed the made-up story about the deceased dancers best.
Kimberly, great choice for the theme - sorry I missed it. I'll be keeking an eye on your themes in the future, I'd like to try my hand at writing on occasion.
You're a great writer, Rose.
I think Rose is good at meditating. I could be wrong.
These are good. I thought, though, we might make it through this news cast without any Michael Jackson news. LOL
