Writing Challenge 2006-6 THE LETTER - Wednesday April 26, 2006

M'Lord and M'Ladies!

I am fully aware that you have all been "chomping at the bit" for a new writing challenge.  And so, I present to you:

THE LETTER

THE LETTER is to be written to someone you love, admire, are angered with, are sad about, or that you have a grievance with.  Whether current or in your past, I leave that decision up to you.

As you give this consideration, try to recall all of the feelings that possess you when you think about this person.

EXAMPLE:

If I were to write to my Mother I might say:

Dear Sweet Mom;

I miss you more than I can ever tell you.  If a heart can break in to two pieces, then mine has lost that second half to you.....

with all my love,

your daughter.

OR:

Dear Emily,

I still don't understand why you were so mean and cruel to me when we were 14.  What did I ever do to you?  I get so angry every time I remember exactly what you did to me, the embarrassment. . . . .

still angry after all these years

Jane

Do you get the idea?  You can go back as far as you want.  What I'm trying to tell you is that I want you to write a letter to the person who left a large  impression on you emotionally.  Please give details if you can, tap into those emotions you were feeling at the time.  Give your new perspective now that you're past the pain or the joy.

You have one week

We will post ON OUR OWN BLOGS on MONDAY, MAY 1.

Make sure to let me know on MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, and I will post the link to your sites here.  Try to visit everyone's sites to leave your comments.

I hope you enjoy this assignment! 

Sweet days and plesant nights~Kween

P.S. Ms_BeautyExpert.  I liked your idea, and perhaps I will use it at another time.  I've had this thought in my head for about a week and a half now and I just like the idea of reading everyone's letters.  Please don't ever think that I don't take your ideas under consideration!  In fact, I put them all in a folder on my computer entitled "Kween of the Queen blog ideas".  Hugs to you!

This is indeed an interesting one for me. The letter is ready to be translated in English from Italian. I wrote it in 1999......Well before.....I'll leave you  in suspense.

I would have 2 letters, I'll leave the second for when I'm blogless, as my handwritten letters are more like manuscripts

Oh, so I didn't miss it. Will have it done. Now I just gotta think to whom I'll write the letter.
Posted 4/26/2006 at 6:20 PM by LadyEowynofRohan
Yikes I am new at this.  I was sent my MandMsMom.  So I write the letter and then post it on my site by 5/1?? I better start thinking about this.
Posted 4/25/2006 at 12:37 AM by boogieMomma2
I am looking forward to this. I have a letter in my mind already.
Posted 4/26/2006 at 12:11 PM by Meghann1965
I'm in...I just hope I remember.
Posted 4/26/2006 at 3:55 PM by elletwoena

Do these letters need to be as short as yours or should they be longer and can we write 2...  As two people came to my mind when I read the challenge.  I like this challenge.  Have a great day!

Now just to figure out who and how to word what all I want to say.

Posted 4/24/2006 at 2:58 PM by Katliin

M'Lord and M'Ladies,

I am Sorry I have not given you the assignment yet.  With Easter but a few days away, I decided to wait until the holiday has passed before I give out any assignment.

I had a wonderful thought driving home from taking my daughter to  school this morning and will try to determine as to whether or not it will make a good challenge here (I think it will).

Please have a Glorious Easter Celebration.

My thoughts are with you and your families this week.

With love and good wishes,

Kween

HAPPY EASTER TO U TOO!!! Umm I have a idea for a challenge..

??? Let me know..

What if we do a challenge about what the word "FAMILY" Means to them... It is a word so taken for granted!!! America is the only culture that does'nt seem to really get what "FAMILY" means.. If you take a look at other cutlures.. like any spanish culture.. THEY NEVER LET NE THING DIVIDE THEM!!!! OR EUROPEANS.. I don't know I supose all families of every culture in the world have it not so greatful moments.. but it really seems us as americans.. ARE LACKING WHAT SHOULD BE FAMILY TIME AND MAKING TIME FOR FAMILY!!! Things seem to be distance amongst familes ne more these days Why!!??? CAUSE OF LIFE? Then it gets to be to late and we regret we did'nt "SPEND MORE TIME" .... I don't get it...

Ne way just a thought.. *hugs* Leslie

M'Lord and M'Ladies,

A wonderful turn out once again for the last writing challenge!  At least half of you took part in this one!  I hope you all had fun with it!

I have in mind a challenge for a bit later in the week.  A hint:  It will have to do with this last challenge (????????)

Stay tuned for it!

Thank you all so much for your participation!  Give me some feedback.  How did you like the time frame of this one?  Did it work for you?  Did you make an effort to get around to everyone's site?  Did you have enough time to do that?

Enquiring Kweens need to know!

Pleasent days and restful nights!~Kween

i loved the time frame.. it really helps us cope with the different time zones some of us come from! i got around to most posts, and having a little longer to do that made it much easier!

Looking forward to our next royal duties, Jette

Posted 4/3/2006 at 4:41 AM by kitty1982

Challenge was excellent, as usual.  Time frame was good, a little extra time was welcome, since it's took me longer to get around.  I think plenty of people saw it and participated.

Most of all.... was it a little easier for our Kween?

Posted 4/3/2006 at 5:27 AM by endlesssummer128
I loved the time frame. I can't wait for the next challenge.

I love to read everyone's post, but it does get time consuming.  I wonder if it might be interesting to give two challenges, and have people write on either, and list them separately?
Posted 4/6/2006 at 12:9 AM by mamaglop
I loved the challenge
Can't wait for the next one!!
Posted 4/3/2006 at 3:21 PM by devilishang3lic
I liked having it posted on a Friday to have all weekend to get around to read. It was fun, can't wait for the next one!
Posted 4/3/2006 at 8:44 AM by WakeUpLaughing

Good challenge. I enjoyed it very much. I liked having a while to do it. I had a working document during the week that I revised and added to until it was ready to go on Friday.

I didn't have time to read everyone's but I read as many as I could and really like them.

Looking forward to the next one! Thanks for the opportunity to participate!

Posted 4/3/2006 at 3:49 PM by beli_grrl

A good strategy having more time. I did get around most, but with my work shedule and being granny it is SO DIFFICULT, it's a wonder that I manage to post as often as I do, maybe 'cos I love you all so much.

RITA. (I love me too!)

Posted 4/6/2006 at 3:20 AM by REDPOPPY1
Sorry I didn't get to participate...I wanted to though.  Look forward to the next one.  :-)
