The lion took pride in his pride. The zoo tried, and they tried until they finally pried him from his enclosure; he was just getting too old and they needed more young’uns.
Make a sentence with the word of the week. Leave it as just a sentence or write a post to go with it.
Try to do it on Tuesday.
Include the hashtag #tuesdayuseitinasentence.
Post it on Twitter and/or Facebook (if you have a public site) and/or Pinterest and/or WordPress and/or any other social media site you belong to.
Participate as many times as you’d like. You can write a different sentence for each platform, but please keep it to one sentence per post.
I will be trolling Twitter for the hashtag, so watch my Twitter feed in the sidebar for retweets. Make sure to connect on Twitter with other participants!
If you post your sentence here on WordPress or on any other site where there’s a clickable link, include the link in the comment section for this week.
Google #tuesdayuseitinasentence to find other participants! The more you connect, the bigger it gets and the more views and followers you’ll have.
Have fun!
What are you waiting for? Make up a sentence and join in!
P.S. This is my last week doing this prompt: we’ll have a team of two taking over next week. I hope you’ll continue to participate!
Friday is here, and time for your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. How is everybody today? I have a birthday boy on my hands, so it’s going to be a busy one for me. Alex is fifteen years old! So hard to fathom. Anyway, here’s your SoCS prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “beef.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
After you’ve written your Saturday post tomorrow, please link it here at this week’s prompt page and check to make sure it’s here 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,” “Begin with the word ‘The’,” or simply a single word to get your started.
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. As a suggestion, tag your post “SoCS” and/or “#SoCS” for more exposure and more views.
Anyone who would like to try it out, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a ping back, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a ping back from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
Make a sentence with the word of the week. Leave it as just a sentence or write a post to go with it.
Try to do it on Tuesday.
Include the hashtag #tuesdayuseitinasentence.
Post it on Twitter and/or Facebook (if you have a public site) and/or Pinterest and/or WordPress and/or any other social media site you belong to.
Participate as many times as you’d like. You can write a different sentence for each platform, but please keep it to one sentence per post.

Friday’s back again and that means it’s time for the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. The weather’s finally getting crisp and there’s frost on the pumpkins some mornings. Are you almost ready for Hallowe’en? Nah, me neither. 😛 Here’s your prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “still.” Use any definition of the word in your post. Have fun!

Last night, as I was driving down the main laneway in a parking lot, an entire family stepped out in front of me. I stopped rather close to them by necessity and the woman yelled at me through my open window, “We’ve got kids here, you could wait your turn!” I hmphed and drove away. When I got home, my adult son told me I should have retorted, “I’ve got a car here, you could wait yours!”
From now on I’m not leaving home without my 21 year old son. I’m sure he’ll be pleased with that arrangement.

Hi! It’s Friday and time for the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I have a busy day today, with no less than three appointments: One for my mum, one for me, and one for wine. Yes, wine actually called me up and asked me to make an appointment. It’s that important! Anyway, on with the prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “ing.” The first word of your post must end in the letters “ing.” Extra points if the final word of the post does too. Enjoy!
After you’ve written your Saturday post tomorrow, please link it here at this week’s prompt page and check to make sure it’s here in the comments so others can find it and see your awesome Stream of Consciousness post. Anyone can join in!

Yes, I’ve decided to launch another prompt. This one isn’t just for the blog, in fact I urge you to do it on Twitter, if you have one, or Facebook, or here on WordPress or Blogger or whatever you use. The one thing that will connect us is this: #tuesdayuseitinasentence. I’m doing this as an experiment of sorts, to see how well a hashtag can drum up views and connections between platforms, so please bear with me as I figure this out as I go along.
This is how you can join in:
Write a sentence using the word of the week. Make it as creative as you can. You can add to it, for instance this week’s word is “demonstrate,” but you can use “demonstration” in your sentence. In other words, the word of the week is flexible. So you can do something like this:
“In a grand display of explosive writing, she demonstrated the most brilliant sentence of her life.”
OR:
“My entire life is a demonstration of tact mixed with tired tension and tepid to torrid tales.”
OR, you can add a picture:
“Me, demonstrating how I feel when I get a new book from Amazon in the mail:”
OR you can even make up your own definition:
“Demonstrate: a mythical monster who is not gay. Demonstrate.”
Note: This post with multiple sentences is for demonstration purposes only. Please stick to one sentence per post.
So here are the rules:
Make a sentence with the word of the week.
Try to do it on Tuesday.
Include the hashtag #tuesdayuseitinasentence somewhere in the post.
Post it on Twitter and/or Facebook (if you have a public site) and/or Pinterest and/or WordPress and/or any other social media site you belong to.
Participate as many times as you’d like. You can write a different sentence for each platform, but please keep it to one sentence per post.
I will be trolling Twitter for the hashtag, so watch my Twitter feed in the sidebar for retweets. Make sure to connect on Twitter with other participants!
