“Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean; that's the whole art and joy of words.” - C.S. Lewis

If you do to participate in the Thursday Prompt remember that it is good form to read your fellow participants. If you wish to give a critique, ask if the writer wishes one and then send it along in a private note.

Always remember; we are all writers together.

This week’s prompt is given to us by me. It was suggested by one of our prompters that they would like more ‘suggestions’ from the participants. (just send them in a note - might be used, might not; no promises) I find that to be fair. Then they chickened out when I asked them to make a suggestion. Yes, I am smiling. Therefore, I will be the first. Today’s prompt is: an old man talking to a child about writing – see the quote above.

Note: This prompt came after finding the quote above, and not based upon my recent dealings with grandchildren.
