100 Words

by JM

I have decided to take a brief break from Thursday Thirteen this week. Instead I will be taking part in the Velvet Verbosity 100 Words. I’m quite enjoying spending time (even though it is comparatively little) coming up with my 100 words for the one word prompt.

If you are interested in participating either here, on your site, or on the Velvet Verbosity site, go here to check out the other entries for ‘Eden’ as well as details about 100 words.

Without further ado, here are my 100 words on ‘Want’.

Want. Need. Lust after. Desire.

Such delicious words for such an often unpleasant thing. Want. Everyone wants. That’s all they seem to do sometimes. Want a hand, your time, your opinion, your money, your space, your reference, your last piece of the death by chocolate cake.

All I want is some peace and quiet.

Maybe some time to relax as well. With a magazine and a bubble bath. Kiwi and apple scented bubble bath. And candles. A lot of scented candles around so I can read and relax. Enjoy.

That sounds nice.

So maybe want isn’t such an unpleasant thing.

I’m honestly not sure where my mind goes sometimes when I write these things. They are a lot of fun and don’t take a long time to do. Perhaps that is why I like them so much?

Give them a try. You might enjoy yourself.

    It is interesting to see what different ideas can spring from a single word. I posted my ‘entry’ for Want on Tuesday, and it is very different from this. It sprang from a different sense entirely of the word - yet the moment I read the prompt, that was what occurred to me. You’re right, this is fun!

    Great, I love what sprang forth. I haven’t done mine yet, but am working on my blog, so may have to do mine on the main blog for now, and then relocate them all to my writing blog which I plan to reopen.
    Off to read WA’s 100 Words now.

    WA - Yes, I think that’s the one thing I find most appealing. Based on a person’s background, you can get all sorts of responses based on just one word. :) I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

    Penelope - I’m glad you like it. I figured moms would like it the best. :)
