One way to help spark your creativity is with writing prompts. There are many ways to do this, recently I took part in a 5 minute 30 day writing challenge and posted the stories on my site. The person who put on the challenge, Britt Malka, put the two words we were to use on the Facebook page and everyone wrote for 5 minutes.

Another way is to do a search for writing prompts and pick one from the site that you find.

A third way that I am going to do today is to take a dictionary and scan through the page with my eyes closed for ten seconds and then use the words I end on to write something for ten minutes.

Word 1 County

Word 2 Jumble

So here goes.

There was the big jumble up of debris after the tornado swept through our county cutting through everything like a hot knife through butter. Everyone lost everything they had. All our homes destroyed. Half the population killed. The government took over a week to get any help to us. They were much more concerned with the rich neighbourhoods than they were with us.

A small community that did not give much tax revenue to support their limousines and private jets. Wasn’t that always the way it goes, those who have the gold make the rules. As anytime this happened, those who survived banded together to rebuild. We were well on the way to doing that before the government officials came to help us.

And their so called help was to tell us how we’re doing everything wrong and that things have to be done their way or no way. So typical of the politicians ins’t it? Regardless of what political stripe they wear, they think that only their way is the only right way to do things. They think they get to tell people how to live their lives.

Well we will live however we choose to do so, none of us care what any city bred politician thinks. They have no clue how the plain folks live, or how hard life can be. Sitting in the capital in their cushy jobs. What work do they really do besides messing with our tax dollars?
