Weekend Trifecta Challenge is as follows:
This weekend we are playing another type of word game with you. Below are photos from the 33rd page of one of our very favorite books, Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge. What we want you to do is to scour the page (click to enlarge), choose 33 words, and reshape those words into a piece of your own. Your piece does not have to tell an entire story. We just want to see what you can do with this particular word bank. Punctuation is up to you. Use whatever you need, whether or not it appears in the photos.
Beneath the house
Bones hidden
Water, wind had touched her
Quietly, peering
He slowed
Discovering the child
He wrapped her…gentle and still
Sensation of relief
Panic then quiescence
Standing, umbrage gone
He returned
ohhh great job!
Thank you!
No idea who Elizabeth Strout is, but yours is at least as good as what she did with the words.
I don’t know who she is either! But thank you. Have a great weekend!
She won the Pulitzer for this book. But she’s only got a few published, so not too many folks know about her. If you’re ever looking for a good book to dive into, give this one a shot. It’s delicious.
I Googled her & that one page alone was enough to interest me.
Yikes. Well done.
Thank you
Woah!! Superb!! Really…Tried similar…Yours…brill!
