Writers Workshop: 13 Lines about five things I enjoyed in 6th grade. (Paragraphy Edition)

Writer's Workshop is taking place again at The Sound of One Hand Typing.


Here are this week’s prompts: (The ones I chose are in bold.)
  1.  Write a post based on the word grudges. 
  2. Write a post in exactly 13 lines. 
  3. Write about something you learned in the month of February. 
  4. List your five favorite snack foods. 
  5. Tell us about the worst haircut you ever had. 
  6. What are the five things you enjoyed doing the most when you were in sixth grade? Do you still enjoy doing them?

 

  1. I have adjusted that to be exactly 13 sentences.
  2. In 1975 when I started 6th grade, I was a huge White Sox fan.
  3. In 6th grade I was still in the school band and I played the saxophone, I liked playing but was never very good at it, so that was my last year.
  4. They are still two passions of mine.
  5. I have been wanting for some years to write a  post using Paragraphy and will try to do that today.
  6. The other two were baseball and bicycling.
  7. Back then I was quite the television watcher and had the network schedule memorized.
  8. Fifty years later I still am.
  9. How Paragraphy works is you write a paragraph and then the sentences are randomly reordered.
  10. Even now when I hear about an old show, the first thing I think of is what network it was on and what day it aired.
  11. I will also try to remember back almost 50 years ago when I was in the 6th grade to think about the 5 things I enjoyed most back then and evaluate if I still lie them today.
  12. The prompt I chose for today is to write a post using exactly 13 lines.
  13. See if you can figure out the original order.
