Saturday Centus - If I die young...

Jenny Matlock
Welcome to week sixty-eight of Saturday Centus.

I post these on Friday night (do you really think I get up at 3 am to make this live?) so the drawing from last week won't happen until Saturday evening or sometime Sunday. I'll notify you by e-mail AND put up a post.

It's a little bit cooler this week (barely hitting 105) so I thought I would quit being quite so penurious with words.

WORD COUNT - Up to 150 words AND the 4 words of the prompt (154 total maximum words)
STYLE OF WRITING - Any
NO PICTURES ALLOWED
THE PROMPT THIS WEEK IS: "If I die young..."


The regular restrictions apply: PG, no splitting of the prompt, play nicely and visit the other entries, any style or genre of writing you prefer.

Please display my link button or just a hyper-link back to Saturday Centus. Be careful to link your SC URL to the Linky and not just link to your main blog.

E-mail me directly with ???'s or ask your question in a comment and I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.

Feel free to link up anytime between now and next Saturday!

  3. I can't believe it only 105? Glad the cool breeze must be knocking on your door?!!! Hope your cold is better too, and how exciting we have 154 total words! Funny when I first read the prompt it was like, hmmm what can I write, and suddenly like a ton of bricks flew through my door...just the very thought of it my post just wrote itself...amazing stuff, these prompts you give us! Have a really great weekend!

  8. Disclaimer: This will probably come off as rude but it is meant to be funny and I hope you take it that way.

  9. Dear Jenny,
    This was not an easy assignment. I started yesterday, but had to put it aside and am posting this Sunday at 11:30 am, Swedish time.
    I'm glad I got it done, even if I had to write this in a special way to avoid actually writing a poem.
    I am constantly being interrupted and cannot write anything that demands my full attention. No rhyming.
    Best wishes & hugs,
    Anna

  10. Thanks for hosting this fun linky! I'm enjoying the word count! Hope your week is going better! Kinda in a slump today...just got back from VA and dropping my daughter off at college. Not any easier this year than last!
    Reading your blog always puts a smile on my face because it's like you're talking from inside my head!

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
