This week we have Carrie over at Chasing Revery as our host and I get to take on (after a few months of being MIA) next week. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with for this week. Don’t forget to link up at the end.
Outraged and Devastated
Leanne Sype suggested the prompt we put together this week be in honor of Boston. To be honest, I loved the idea, but I was not going to do it because everything I read made me cry and I didn’t think I could do it. Until I saw this.
It corresponds with what I read a few days ago, a quote by Fred Rogers that says, “When I was a boy and would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'”So, I will put together a post with that in mind. I have found a lovely photo, though I believe it was taken before the bombings, it is open to many interpretations, not just for the marathon.
But first, some happier news. We have chosen the winner of our $25 Amazon Gift Card. Congratulations to

Sometimes I feel like I should take a screen shot of the creativity games site I use to generate those words, just to prove they were randomly selected by the internet.
But enough of that, it’s time to get writing. Make sure to link up below so we can all share in your talent. 🙂
Why Jottings & Writings?? Because my (main) blog is a mixture of thoughts/opinions (jottings) and my attempts at (very) short story challenges (writings).
Interests? - Pretty much anything to do with Fire/EMS/Police, Writing, and Social Media
Firefighters, Police officers, Paramedics, Soldiers.... Those are the True Heroes.
