Beautiful tropical beach with the word summer written on the sanHappy July Fourth every one.

I know that every one has a Fourth of July on their calendar, but that we here in America look at the date a little differently than those of you in other parts of the world do.

So today I’m honoring one of my favorite American Heroes, Founding Father,  John Adams.

Today’s prompt is a word that describes Adams’ attitude during the First and Second Continental Congresses:

Tenacious

How did you do with the first Summer Writing Prompt? Did you find time to create?

Before we get to today’s prompt, a programming note: The prompts are just that “Prompts”. They are to spark your creative stirrings and get you started. You don’t have to use the word literally in what you do. It is far more important THAT you WRITE than that you write PLANK. (“Plank” was yesterdays word btw.)

OK the prompt for Day Two is…

Sincerity

Yeah, I couldn't find any clip art for "Sincerity" so I made my own.  BAM.

Welcome back my friends to the annual ritaLOVEStoWRITE Summer WRITING Challenge. Each day for the month of July I’ll present you with a word prompt.

It is up to you how much or how little you wish to write for the day (Maggie and I have set our goal at 1 hour a day.)

You don’t have to WRITE. This can be a CREATIVE challenge.  You can use the prompts to set you off on other creative journeys if you like. Last year Emily W. took an artistic approach and did some great photo essays. I’m wondering if some of my chief friends could whip up some menu items based on our prompts?

And you can share (or not) by leaving a comment below or sending me an email at ritaLOVEStoWRITE@gmail.com
