Teenagers - What to wear

This week’s writing prompts are about teens. If you haven’t had teen children then apply the prompts to teen relatives or friends, or your own teenage years. Or write about all teens or teenagerhood as a concept.

Teenagers seem to belong to tribes which dictate what their personal style is – emo or goth or whatever… Much of it seems to be black, whatever their style!

And when they’re not wearing strange combinations of layers, none of which are actually appropriate to the weather, they’re in fancy dress. There is a university city I drive through regularly and there doesn’t seem to be a time (except in the holidays!) when there aren’t groups of students in fancy dress walking into town…

Add a humorous title.

Simple prompts - sound

Simple prompts for a lazy time of year (northern hemisphere anyway!)

Is there a sound which you associate with a particular memory? For me it's the sound of the ropes on sailing dinghies and yachts flapping against the masts - not a sound I hear often except when visiting a harbour or sailing beach - which is very rare in my life - but it reminds me of the seemingly endless summers we spent in North Wales on holiday when I was a child. It was a big sailing area, and the breezes set the ropes flapping onthe masts and that sound takes me back to my childhood like no other...

Write about a particularly significant sound.

Simple prompts - left out

This week's blog prompt and journalling topics for your creative writing and scrapbooking are very simple, though no less powerful for that!

Think about the last time you felt left out. Happens to us all one time or another. Someone went somewhere without you - forgot your birthday, or similar.

For me it was my 25th wedding anniversary when I started to organise a wonderful party months in advance and everyone said they couldn't come (months in advance?????). So I cancelled the party and when the time came no-one even sent a card despite the fact they must have known it was coming up.

I'm still gutted and I'm still smarting.... better not write any more!
