Welcome To Prompted 2 Write

I have always loved writing and taught it in my classes, no matter the grade. After retirement, I published several books and began blogging. I love it, but there are days when I can't think of anything to write. When I taught writing to children, I always gave them a writing prompt, making it easier for them. I hope to post writing prompts for all ages. This site will be helpful to homeschoolers as well a classroom teachers. It is for anyone who loves writing or anyone who is required to write. Please let me see some of your writing.

MS:  My grandmother used to be fairly normal.  Then one day something happened and she has never been the same.  Here's the story..
HS:  I love my grandmother--except when she tries to use teenage slang to tell me something.  She can't keep the words straight and uses them all wrong.  She called my cell phone and tried to tell me about her shopping trip.  Here's what she said..
A:  Raising parents is much harder than raising kids.  At least the kids do somewhat normal things.  My parents do the dumbest things and then I have to take care of it.  Their latest escapade is...
