Try a Story Idea Prompt
So if you are stuck for ideas, here are some prompts:

    * What was your favorite childhood pet?
    * Where was your most memorable vacation?
    * What topic most inspired you in grade school?
    * Where is a place in the world you'd like to visit?
    * What is the most adventurous thing you have done?
    * Who was an influential authority in your subject discipline?
    * Or just describe a collection of things such as
          o Five attributes of a great writer
          o The top technology gadgets of the future
          o Most important discoveries in your field
          o Favorite cars, vegetables, flowers, tools
          o Collection of things that don't belong

Why is it I have such a hard time writing down stories? Tagged by mshook under story, narrative, tips, ideas, viapopular, video, howto, introduction, tutorial, swhpl, writing, susan,

The Flight of Betsy Lane by Sarah Orne Jewett - a great story - I read it to Susan a few days ago | http://tinyurl.com/yjwhdzk

mshook — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:00:00 -0400

http://www.public.coe.edu/~theller/soj/now/betsey.htm
I like it because:

It includes a trip to a worlds fair by train, including hitching a ride
I know it's 1876
The principals are like some wonderful women I know
Reference to Maine's marine/trade heritage

Spoiler alert:

Betsy gets a bit of cash from a vistor. She sallies forth, walking to the station but before she get there she hitches a ride on a frieght. At the Philadelphia Centennial she befriends everyone, buys gifts for here friends and comes home.

This looks like a great site for all things Sarah Orne Jewett

Margaret Atwood salutes a childhood classic, Anne of Green Gables | Books | The Guardian

mshook — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 12:26:00 -0400

"Lucy Maud Montgomery's novel Anne of Green Gables is 100 years old this April, and the Annery is in full swing. Already there's a "prequel", Budge Wilson's Before Green Gables, which chronicles the life of spunky, strange, but endearing Anne Shirley before she hit Prince Edward Island's Green Gables farmhouse in a splatter of exclamation marks, apple blossoms, freckles and embarrassing faux pas. And there's yet another mutton-sleeved, button-booted, Gibson-girl-hairdo'ed television show in the offing - Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning - due in 2009, following the 1919 silent film, the 1934 talkie, the 1956 television version, the 1979 Japanese animé, the 1985 Green Gables series, the 1990-96 Road to Avonlea and the PBS Animated Series of 2000, not to mention the various parodies - Anne of Green Gut, Fran of the Fundy and its brethren - that have appeared over the years."

DrDavidWilliams.com: Probiotic Advantage

mshook — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 09:59:00 -0400

"L. acidophilus, B. longum, L. bulgaricus, and B. bifidum—that promote a healthy balance of flora in your gastrointestinal tract. Dr. Williams discovered an advanced encapsulation process, in Japan, that delivers these four strains of powerful bacteria right where they're needed. Each "beadlet" of Probiotic Advantage contains one billion beneficial bacteria that go to work in your intestines and colon to: Aid digestion and nutrient absorption by: • Stimulating the digestive process and making it more efficient • Enhancing lactose digestion and utilization • Breaking down undigested foods, including carbohydrates, in the intestines • Helping you absorb nutrients better, including B-vitamins and vitamin K. Keep your gastrointestinal tract healthy by: • Neutralizing some of the toxic products produced during digestion and everyday toxins we encounter • Promoting optimal pH, helping to balance the delicate flora. Enhance your overall health by: • Promoting regular bowel movements • Boosting immune function. A special "triple-layer capsule" seamlessly encloses the probiotics. The active bacteria are first covered with a" Tagged by mshook under medical, health, susan, digestion,

In addition, borrowing from the style of today’s teen magazines, it even includes a Math Horoscope section, Math Personality Quizzes, and Real-Life Testimonials—ultimately revealing why math is easier and cooler than readers think.
