This month I’m sharing photos and blog posts from A-Z.  I’m excited about trying something new.  I hope you’ll stop by often throughout the month.

Check out the participants for the April (2016) Challenge.  There are plenty to choose from http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/

L is for Librarian

I have been fortunate to know several great librarians.  Today, I’m sharing an archived post by Pat Strobel, a former co-worker and a terrific elementary school librarian.  I also want to give a shout out for Robin Deffendall,  who is a fantastic reference librarian and the leader of a face-to-face writer’s group I attend called WORN: Write On, Right Now.  Hooray for Librarians!

Writing Prompt:  Tell about a librarian who is special in your life.

L is for Ladder

My living room and dining room décor has a Japanese influence.  Once while on vacation, my husband spotted this bamboo ladder and wanted to purchase it for the dining room.  I agreed.  It displays nothing at times, linens cloths at others, and sometimes Christmas cheer.

Writing Prompts:  What have you brought home from a vacation as a souvenir for yourself?  How are a ladder and success sometimes linked?

L is for Litter–the puppy kind

Have you ever written so many revisions of a manuscript that you’re not sure which one is “the one?” Most writers are probably shaking their heads in agreement.  I found this article to be a fun way to look at this.

Writing Prompts:  Have you ever picked a puppy from a litter to be your own?  Tell about a pet experience.

 

What “L” words come to mind for you? I hope you’ll share why they’re special to you.
