I’ve been inspired by something in particular this week for the Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday. I hope to write a post about it later. In the meantime, here is your prompt. Drumroll please…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: young, old, or anything to do with age. That’s it! Have fun!
After you’ve written your Saturday post tomorrow, please link it here at the prompt page in the comments so others can find it and see your awesome Stream of Consciousness post. Anyone can join in!
Try out our new, handy dandy SoCS badge. Paste it in your Saturday post so people browsing the reader will immediately know your post is stream of consciousness and/or pin it as a widget to your site to show you’re a participant. Wear it with pride!!
Here are the rules:
1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing, (typos can be fixed) and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.
2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.
3. There will be a prompt every week. I will post the prompt here on my blog on Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a subject. For instance, I will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” or “Begin with the word ‘The’.”
4. Ping back! It’s important, so that I and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of this post into yours. Your link will show up in my comments, for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top.
5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read everyone’s! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later, or go to the previous week, by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find right below the “Like” button on my post.
6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get!
7. Have fun!

I just had my Birthday and oddly I wasn’t thinking about age but it made a great Stream of Consiousness prompt. I’ve enjoyed reading the entries. Thanks. 🙂

Okay, talk about not following directions — something you accused me of when I submitted two badge designs. Why are people posting their SoCS SATURDAY (got that, SATURDAY) posts on FRIDAY. (Well, maybe they live on the other side of the international date line. Or maybe I live on the other side of the international data line.)

Michael does, actually. It’s Saturday where he is. But I don’t mind letting it go when someone is going to be busy on Saturday but they still want to join in. I’ve been guilty myself of writing my SoCS post on a Friday and scheduling it for Saturday. Why, did you want to write yours today, dear?

Nah. I’ll write it tomorrow morning when I wake up. Something to do while I’m drinking my coffee. Besides, I was just being contrary — something that occurs naturally as one ages. I don’t care when people write or post their SoCS entries. And it’s your prompt, so if you don’t care, what does it matter what I think, anyway?
