Writers' Guide: Inspiring Question for the Last Friday in March
Or…The Dragon says journal about this one…

We have a Grammar Guide AND a Writer's Guide today. I like to try to throw one of these thought-provoking questions at you on Fridays, and I won't be able to next Friday because we're having an author interview here at The Dragon. So this week's is bizarre to make up for skipping next week. How's that? Put your answer in the comment field, but feel free to use this thought-provoking question in your journaling or short story exercises today!

Where on your body do you have a scar and how did you get it?

I have this whole patch of scars on the inside of my upper right arm. They've faded quite a bit now that I'm nearly 38 years old, but I got them when I was a toddler. My poor mom. I reached up with my wee little hand to the stovetop to grab the handle of a boiling pot of water…

Writers' Guide: Question for Friday
Something Thought-Provoking for Your Journaling Time Today

Of course we want you to share your answer in the comment field, but feel free to use this thought-provoking question in your journaling or short story exercises today!

What three words would you use to describe this past week in your life?

Fantasy Author Sandy Lender answers with:
1) indecisive
2) unreliable
3) coconut
(I included "coconut" because I included Sunday as part of this past week. Bwuahahaha.)

I would continue and give reasons for each, but then I'd have to hunt down all the blog visitors and shoot each one, and that would be a shame. (and time-consuming)

So in the interest of time and safety, I'll just open this up for comments now. Have fun!
