A few weeks ago, Granny Sue posted about a writers challenge where you had to write a story in exactly 50 words, no more, no less. I thought I'd give it a try. Here's my attempt at it:
“Fetch me that least skillet,” Granny said. Nothing made me happier than when Granny made biscuits. I watched with wonderment as Granny expertly worked the dough and placed the cut out biscuits into the little skillet. “You learn by watching,” Granny stated. “Think maybe you can make these next time?”
Neat, Matthew! I like it. It's like a snapshot of a moment in an old-time kitchen.
ReplyDeleteOn Friday, try writing a 55-word piece for Mr. Know-it-All's Flash 55 Friday. It's fun!
Okay, now the next chapter, please! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I'm with Shirley-I want to hear more.
ReplyDeleteOld time! Ha! That scene took place probably in 1986 or so... LOL!
ReplyDeleteGood writing! Did you ever learn how to do it yourself?
ReplyDeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, yes, I did learn how to make biscuits. I'm a fairly decent cook, having learned by just watching. Made some just yesterday to eat with some fresh honey I bought at the farmers market.
