A Writer’s Playground–a place to find wordplay, writing prompts, reasons to celebrate, and monthly calendar activities for kids and those young at heart “Y is for Yard, Yes, and Yesterday” by Linda Martin Andersen
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/
Y is for Yard
In an earlier post, I wrote about an experience in my back yard. An elm leaf was suspended in the air and twirled in the breeze–one of nature’s windsocks. I am thankful for all I see out our window. I am also thankful for the wide open space and for the wildlife that visits too.
Check out the photos below and earlier posts about them. I hope you enjoy them.
Tell about some of your pleasant experiences in the yard.

Y is for Yes
Are you a writer and hoping for an acceptance from an editor or agent and rejections show up instead? Stick with it. Your “Yes” is out there somewhere. It might be closer than you think. See…
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Your job is to keep writing, polishing your work, and submitting it. Find your “Yes.”
Y is for Yesterday
Do you like collecting antiques and reading old diaries? Do you like history and nonfiction? Do you enjoy visiting museums and touring old homes. Do you enjoy looking at old photographs. Is “yesterday” or history something you want to know more about? Do you read historical fiction?
Which interests you most: yesterday, today, or tomorrow? Why? How will this guide your search for books to read? Do you enjoy a variety or are you drawn to a specific genre or time period?
Some of my first independent readings were biographies. Have you read any lately?
What “Y” words come to mind for you? I hope you’ll share why they’re special to you.
