Writer's Workshop--When I was a kid I was afraid...Still Am Sometimes.

Mama's Losin' It
Writer's workshop time.
The prompts:
1.) Childhood fears you’ve taken into your adult life.
2.) Write a post that begins and ends with a merry-go-round.
(inspired by writingfix.com)
3.) Why were you mortified? Write about a true embarrassing moment as though it was happening in slow motion.

4.) Open letter to a celebrity.
5.) Oprah says we all have a story. If you were on her show, what would your story be? What would you be talking about? What advice would she give you? Write about it and provide a snippet of your interview together.


Number 1: Childhood fears you've taken into adulthood.
  • fear of spiders
  • fear of bugs
  • fear of large groups-where I don't know anybody but am expected to "mingle".
  • fear of scary movies--even Dracula is too much for me.
  • fear of miller moths
  • fear of anything that has more than four legs really
  • fear of looking like a fool in front of everyone--a la middle school and high school.
  • fear that 'they' are talking about me
  • sometimes I can even spook myself in the dark.
  • fear of public speaking
These are the fears left over from childhood.  I'm not even going to go into the ones I have developed since "growing up".  What are you still afraid of that you were afraid of as a child?
Go link your own take on the prompts at Mama Kats.

P.S.  The bank said yes so we get to go get the camper this weekend.  Pictures next week.

  7. I was (and am) afraid of a lot of those things, especially spiders and crowds of people. I was also very afraid of fire when I was a child.
