"Blogging Circle of Friends" furnishes the prompts & I write about them... |

What is Circle Time? & Why did I decide to name this blog after it?... [C]ircle Time is an activity that is often done in the early grades (usually, from preschool/nursery school through first grade) where the students assemble in a semi-circle facing their teacher who will read a story to them; teach a lesson; listen to them read (either individually or as a group); or any other activity that is more effectively-done in an intimate setting than being spread out at their desks throughout the classroom. [S]tudents are often divided into two or three groups (in the case of working on reading, math, etc.) so that part of the class is being taught while the other students are doing busy work at their desks. [I]n some schools, students are grouped according to their progress -- I'm sure you've heard of those kinds of groupings that call each group by the name of a bird species -- but we were called in alphabetical order instead. [A]nyway...back to how this blog got its name... [F]or one thing (the most OBVIOUS thing), it's a blog that has been designed with using it to write something using prompts furnished by Blogging Circle of Friends  .[H]owever, a couple more reasons have to do with Kindergarten -- and, specifically, my Kindergarten days at 29th Street School in Anderson where I could be a handful at times. One shining example of this was how I met my friend, Patty. This story has found a place in my memoirs and has been given the following title: [T]his was an example of how getting in a little mischief sometimes pays off, because I not only satisfied my curiosity but, also, got a really wonderful friend out of the deal. You know something? I just used a word that reminds me of Patty, and I didn't even mean to do it. Anyway, that just tells me that I need to write a story and call it "Invalid Entry" .[A]nyway, I remember when Patty and I were out sitting on her porch, and she came up with this really neat game where she said that she would make a scribble for me to turn into a picture. After that, I would make a scribble for her to turn into a picture. And so on and so forth... [I]n a sense, those scribbles were prompts of sorts given by one person to inspire another one -- which is what's contained in this blog: getting inspiration from things such as quotes; clusters of words; videos; etc. that have been shared with us by another person to get our creative juices going. [I]nspired by each other's scribbles, Patty and I came up with some pretty unique pictures (at least in our early-grade-school minds). [A]fter learning this game from Patty, I shared it with some of my other friends and we played it. Quite likely, some of those friends shared the game with others. I have no idea whether this had been a game that Patty had come up with herself or if somebody had taught it to her. [I]t was, obviously, an activity that was worth sharing with others so that they could join the fun. I hope that reading what I write in this blog will inspire you to want to find out more about B.C.O.F. and join in the fun. [E]ven if you aren't interested in blogging with us, I hope you'll find this a great place to do some reading!!! [W]armly -- AJ wants U 2 meet The CanMan!

How do you feel about anniversaries? Do you celebrate them all or certain milestone? What do you feel is the value in recognizing them?
You don't have to read too many of my writings to see that I'm into milestones and other sentimental things.
This is one shining example. and there are more but I'm running sh... [Read more] In The Midnight Hours... October 30, 2018 at 11:39pm
PROMPT:
Start your entry with "In the midnight hours..."
In the midnight hours (a.k.a. the wee hours of the morning), I can usually found alternating between napping and being online.
This would be a great time to get a lot of things done as I'm not going anywhere and I have no visitors.
If I could just stay awake, I would be able to catch up with everything a whole lot more quickly.
There are things I want to get done right away and begin to do w... [Read more] What!?! Me Worry!?! October 29, 2018 at 7:38am

I know that I'm computing on borrowed time now, as my cable service (which powers my TV and home computer) had a payment I needed to make by yesterday in order to avoid an interruption in service that will last until my monthly S.S.I. check comes in -- which will, hopefully, come in early. If not, you could very well not be seeing me around again until November 1.
So, this is what I'm going to... [Read more] Hey!!! Not So Fast!!! I Still Want To Savor October!!! October 20, 2018 at 11:58pm

Give us as many reason as you want about why you are looking forward to November.
I'm still hanging onto October and not quite ready to leave the month behind yet. But there are several things I'm looking forward to in November, but time has run out before I had the chance to go into detail...

PROMPT:
I was reading ~Minja~ s newsletter this week about noticing newbies and no titles. What did she mean no title? So I read and then thought about my writing. How important is the title when writing? Is it still a story without a title? How do you as authors decide what works?
Let's take this entry, for instance.
Before it will even be accepted as an entry (that is, get saved as a blog-entry while I'm working on it), it will have to have some kind of title.... [Read more] So Many Favorites...So Little Time... October 3, 2018 at 11:57pm
PROMPT:
Write a poem or story about your favorite autumn activity. Apple picking, pumpkin picking, carving, baking, going on foliage tours... you tell us.
What is there NOT to love about Autumn!?!
How can I pick just one favorite activity of the season when there's so much fun and beautiful about it!?!
I think I'm going to share links to some of my writings with Autumn themes and/or written sometime during this wonderful season.
