Vow: I will write today!

Oh, look, a squirrel!

Can I eat lunch yet?

All ready to write!

Late now. Time for bed. Tomorrow is another day.

    What fun, Laura! I related to this so much!! Not a fan of squirrels so for me it would be more of an "Ah, get away!" than an "Oh, look!" but definitely distracting either way! And they definitely capture my dog's attention...

    Haha this one’s too real! A whole writer’s journey in six lines! Loved it! Laura 😊

    But you did write! Hooray! Despite the distractions of squirrels or maybe they were lying low today, which allowed you to write?

  • I think this is my first entry for D.K. Shepard's "Unofficial Challenges." What a fun idea! Thanks to Rachel Deeming for bringing this challenge to my attention. This (if I did it right) is the link to Shepard's Challenge. https://shopping-feedback.today/writers/vocal-acrostic-challenge%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
