I want you to write about an experience where you lost control (of your emotions, impulses, mind, body, life whatever). You do not have to write about this topic in the negative (you know I did haha) you can talk about falling in love, sky diving for the first time, having a baby, moving to another country there are just as many positive examples as negative so don’t feel that you have share something gut-wrenching (you are most welcome but the choice is yours). You can even write about something like the freedom of dance or getting carried away by your muse. Pictures are welcome! I did not paint this picture it is a wallpaper found on Google.
Perfect timing on my insomnia filled night 🙂
Ouch I am sorry about the insomnia! I had a bad night’s sleep as well I had the worst nightmare I ever remember having. I look forward to you submission =)
And finally done! I did fall asleep because it was a tough one to write.
I hate the nightmares that stay with you long after you wake. Hopefully all is better now 🙂
I am glad you got some sleep and hope all is well now =) I hate them too!
Done! the perfect theme/prompt for a rather odd mood I am in tonight!! 🙂 🙂
Yay Helen! You are on the ball =)
Well, this inspires me a lot to write about something I wanted to write for a long time now, and seeing this prompt of your now it just felt like something clicked. I REALLY hope I will have time to finish it!:D
Even if you are late just post it to whatever prompt is up =) I don’t really have a time limit
I like to post it early,so others can see and participate as well 😀
If you post it to the most recent Mr Linky they will see it =)
I lose control of my emotions many more times than desirable!
Haha me too
Great prompt! Done. (Unless I somehow lost control)
lol awesome I will have a look =)
Great prompt — of course, I’m torn: the “optimist” I wasn’t last week, has a tale of love, the pessimist — well you can imagine. Perhaps I can weave both stories together (or is that my usual cheating, Ooops, I mean fudging, the rules, lol.
Haha you do it however you like =) I honestly like it when you guys get carried away on the prompts and make them your own
So many times, I couldn’t choose one, so I was vague. And still I can’t decide if losing control is a good thing or bad.
I think sometimes it is awesome and sometimes it is terrible
Will post a poem for the prompt on Wednesday 🙂
Awesome!
I’m sorry, M. I deleted my entry for the prompt. I didn’t like it. I’ll try to write a better one, but can’t promise anything this time… 🙂
I understand I definitely have second thoughts about some of my own posts. I enjoyed it though =)
I’d love to try this! Great prompt 🙂
Please do it would be an honor to have you =)
And it’s up! 🙂
I just read it stunning =)
A guy with his foot in a cast
Was driving his car way too fast.
His wheel struck a hole.
He lost all control,
And the time for a cast was surpassed.
Oh ouch! Fantastic limerick I am so happy to see you again Madeleine =)
I could only think of my night outs, the drinking actually. That’s by far where I lose control the most. 😀
That definitely counts so feel free to write about your night’s out =)
I already have actually. Hahaha. Not again… (If you could remember the first time.)
You have indeed but I bet you have loads of stories to tell =) Falling in love. Orgasms. Anger. Revenge. Accidents (I have fallen down the stairs way too many times haha). Illness (I wrote about Epilepsy but if you have ever very ill or injured and not had full control over or use of your body). Dancing. Even childhood because you don’t have control over your life and decisions are made for you. Rebellion as a teenager (all those impulses can leave us a bit crazy). Are some examples
I ended up taking a 2 stage approach. First are three horrible sonnets, then a poem (that I wrote several other mornings ago)
All deal with being out of control on some level. Thanks for the great prompt!
Nothing was horrible, it was all wonderful =)
Finally joining… Thank you.
Yay! I am so happy your submission was amazing loved it =)
Late, late, late, but my entry is finally in and I wanted to thank you for making this prompt and letting me redecisover and re-conquer a part of myself because of it.
Amazing entry love love love =)
