It’s Friday!! What with Hallowe’en and the chaos that comes with it, I totally forgot about your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt! Thanks so much for the reminder, John! So what to do…? Oh, I know!
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “memory.” That’s it! Have fun!
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!

Sorry, Linda: I am new to this and didn’t think to look for my pingback at the top of the Comments. So I reposted it–which means I posted it here twice. Please feel free to delete one of them. Apologies!

I found the SoSC exercise much harder the second time around, but it was noisier while I was writing. By chance, the word you chose was something I’d been thinking about for the past few days. Too many thoughts = too many words. So tempted to edit–but, no.

Good for you for resisting the editing! I hope next week is better for you. I, too, find it hard to write stream of consciousness writing when there’s a lot of distraction.

I meant to put the SoCS badge in the post, but I forgot. Would replacing that count as editing? This prompt helped me gather some recent thoughts into some sort of post. Thanks.

Go ahead and put the badge up. It’s only editing if you change the words. 🙂

Great prompt! I’ve had major writer’s block recently and for the first time in a few weeks, was around in time for SOCS and it helped me get something written. Thanks for that; I’m also enjoying what others are doing with this week’s prompt too. 🙂
