Writing Prompts

This week’s writing prompt is:

DREAMS

Do you have a dream you yearn to fulfil? Maybe yours has come true. Or perhaps you’ve had strange, funny or recurring dreams. But not everyone remembers their dreams, so you could write something fictional and give your characters all sorts of interesting dreams.

You don’t have to share your work, but I always enjoy seeing what you come up with if the prompt gives you inspiration. Your last prompt was FAVOURITE FOODS.  Here are a couple of mouthwatering treats:

Kim Smyth:

I guess I’ve been a connoisseur of hamburgers all my life. My parents would take us to a nice restaurant and ask me what I wanted. A hamburger every time. They would roll their eyes in astonishment, wondering why I never wanted to try something new. I wanted only to taste a different burger. How was theirs made, in other words? Was a different restaurant’s burger the same as the last, or better?

So it is still this day. As much as I eat Mexican food, my favorite night of the week is burger night. (usually made at home by my loving spouse!) I used to love Burger King Whoppers, but soon learned that was not the best ever burger. I have to split my vote here between the most unhealthy, but best burger I ever ate and craved was when Jack in the Box had the Sourdough Grilled Burger. Mm mm, I can still remember how incredibly delicious and totally sinful that burger was. Another time in our travels, I finally had a Carl’s Jr burger. It ran a close second. Messy, but delicious! I’m sure all those trips with my parents I had enjoyed a fancier, more expensive burger (maybe not, I can’t remember) but these two remain my favs.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Ask me my favourite food? Trifle. I make my own. Sugar free fruit jelly layer with raspberries or blueberries added I sometimes add sherry or port. Let that set. Then a blancmange either raspberry or chocolate with sweetner not sugar (much nicer than custard). Finally whipped double cream on top, it can have grated chocolate or maraschino cherries on top. Low sugar although not low fat. But delicious at Christmas or for a celibration.

  1. In my dreams you are still here
    I grasp your hand to pull you near
    To say “goodnight” to you my sweet,
    As my heart trips and skips a beat,
    To have you here, to hear you speak,
    That is the dream I really seek.
    I know that you have gone away,
    Will never see another day.
    I’m in a dream now, holding on
    To memories of you though you’ve gone.

    My dream is that someplace we find in our traveling around the US is that we fall in love with a different state that we would want to make our forever home. I don’t know if it’s attainable, that’s why its a dream I guess. I’m not sure I can ever get my husband out of Texas!
