Two Minute Tuesday


It is Tuesday and I am back to do another Two Minute Tuesday prompt. For those of you who didn't read last week's post what I do is, choose a theme/topic, set my timer for two minutes, and write down whatever comes to mind before the timer goes off. After posting last week's I had so many ideas for topics and wouldn't stop thinking about it. This week I am keeping with a childhood theme. 

Prompt: Favorite Childhood Food

My favorite food by far was mac and cheese. Sometimes my mom would ask me what I wanted for a "special" meal and I always anaswered with her homemade mac and cheese. It wasn't anything fancy but it was yummy. She would put sauteed onions and velveeta in it. Occasionally, she would add ground beef to it and it tasted like a gooey cheeseburger. Oh my gosh, it was so good! This is definitely a meal that reminds me of home.

It was a little easier this week, but the time still goes by so quickly. I am trying something new this week and making this a link up post. Take just two minutes out of your day and write about your favorite childhood food. I would love to read what you can come up with in just two minutes. (Submit your link below)

Two Minute Tuesday


I know I am not so good about posting anything new (except my meal plans). Part of it is, I have many ideas, I just don't always know how to put them down into a post and feel good about what I wrote. I was doing a bit of research on how to open up as a writer and I found a blog called "The One-Minute Writer". I thought this was an interesting concept. A prompt is posted everyday and you write for one minute on the topic given.

I think I want to give this a try but instead of one minute I will do it for two minutes. I'm not sure I will use the prompts given there but I have looked up other prompts and hopefully come up with my own along the way. These topics will vary from memories to opinions and maybe even a creative story here and there. I am going to try to make this a weekly occurrence to get my writing.

Prompt: Childhood Memory - Everyone has early memories of their childhood, recall the earliest or most vivid memory. 

I was about 4 years old. My family was in San Francisco and we were near the Golden Gate Bridge. My parents bought me a pink sweatshirt with a picture of the bridge on it. I remember driving across the bridge and eating at a Chinese food restaurant. The sweatshirt was light pink with a zipper that went about 1/2 way down. I cannot remember anything else from this trip, but what I can remember is pretty vivid for a 4 year old.

Wow, that is hard. I thought I would be able to write so much more in two minutes. The time goes by in a flash. The only edits I made was spelling errors.

If you try this please leave me a comment with what you wrote in two minutes.
