Sarcastic, insightful agent, Janet Reid, has put up her first contest of the summer. I found it just in time. In 100 words or less, we had to use these prompts to write a clever story. Here are the words and my entry =)
willing
parrot
intuitionist
dope
silette
“Eddie, come here!”
“Eddie, here!” Tonya parroted.
“Stop that, Tonya!”
“Top that, Tona!”
Avery sighed, willing the toddler to be quiet. Eddie pulled up beside his big sister. She displayed the old cyclops camera she found in Granny’s attic. Little Tonya had found Granny “asleep.”
“It says ‘Silette,’” Avery read.
“Stillette?”
“I wonder if it works.” Eddie looked it over.
“It works!” Tonya grabbed and it fell open, exposing the film inside.
“Tonya, you dope! Now we’ll never know what was on it.”
The mimicking intuitionist grinned with an evil gleam in her eye as she repeated, “Never know.”
I'm still putting together my next Disney segment. Hope to have it ready for tomorrow. 8=)
I felt lame with that entry, reading it over I can see it might be confusing. So I'm adding a writercize from Alana that I've been wanting to do. Being an organized person, I had to do this prompt: take a category and make an alphabetical list for it. For summer, my category is Travel. Here is my list,
Adventure / Break / Cruise / Discover / Escape / Family / Go / Hotel / Island / Journey / Keys / Long / Map / New / Occasion / Parks / Quest / Restaurants / Search / Tours / Unknown / Views / Walk / Xplore / Yen / Zoos
I bet you have some better ones, right? =)
Aw, annoying little parrot! Your travel list is fun and I look forward to the Disney post---I'm going in October. :D
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun summer!! I especially like the U for unknown. :)
ReplyDeleteThe story makes sense - Silette is a super tough one to fit in there and still figure people will understand. I did assume it was a camera based on your story, but googled it to be sure. I'll have to check out Janet Reid's blog - looks like a good one.
Tonya is exasperating!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Tara.
