Friday is here and with it comes your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt! I’m hella tired today – two mornings in a row of being dragged out of bed by a grumpy kid with a sore throat at 4am will do that. So no preamble or explanation today, just a prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “degree/degrees.” Have at it!
After you’ve written your Saturday post tomorrow, please link it here at this week’s prompt page in the comments so others can find it and see your awesome Stream of Consciousness post. Anyone can join in!
To make your post more visible, use the SoCS badge! Just 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!

Saturday stream f consciousness
Some sentences I remember always,
“Do not go quietly into the night”
A challenge and solution conjoined
I wonder having come into life silent
Learned to scream and stand for no I won’t or
Yes I am and will, then moving out of social connections
Into unconsidered joining like sugar is warm water
Potent and yet concealed except to those cold enough
To cast crystals of scorn across me
As if my response to contentiousness could
ever be better than silence and tears,
perhaps a message, like this one,
from wherever I am that I will always
bless you when you come home.

I hope and pray everybody is feeling better! Don’t know why the pingback didn’t work this time, but here it is. FYI, Lily is getting out of the hospital today and doing better. http://joannaoftheforest.wordpress.com/2014/10/25/pain-gratitude-and-faith/
