This week for Writer’s Workshop I am picking a short one since there are so many activities going on around here.
The Prompt:
5.) Kim’s email:
In the St. Louis News-Dispatch paper, they had an article of a man who wrote his own obituary before his death, and gave it to his sister to post when he died. He summed life up in 45 words:
(Click here to read his words).
I know it’s a morbid subject, but what about a prompt about what would one’s obit say, with a word limit. You could stipulate that everyone died at 100, so we’d all be predicting what our future would be like.
So there you have it. Sum up life in 45 words.
Happy happy.
Mine reads:
She loved God and tried to please him.
She loved her family and tried to please them.
She loved her friends and tried to please them.
With all this people pleasing did she make it to Heaven or what?
Please pray for her soul!

Love it! I definitely think people-pleasing will work in your favor. Good luck!
Visiting from Mama Kat’s
WOW! You sound like quite a people pleaser! I need to please my family and make them something for supper. I can’t think of a thing!
Story of my life. All we want is for people to be happy…you’re going to heaven for SURE.
I like it and yes, Beth, I think you’re going to heaven. Besides, you’re also taking a little time to please Beth and that’s very good. I love your project, here and plan to be a follower, whoops, that’s Twitter, well, same thing. Thanks for looking at my blog too. I posted some new stuff during the holidays. Love you guys, so much.
