Writer's Workshop: Evie 's Day

I thought I'd give Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop a try.  She listed a few prompts, and this is the one I chose:


Could a routine become interesting through words? Write about a person (perhaps you) caught up in a daily routine. Establish a rhythm with the story’s words that impersonates the rhythm of the routine.

See what you think:



Waking. Looking. Rolling. Whining.
I need my mom.

Suckle, suckle. Slurp. Burp. Suckle, suckle. Slurp. Burp. Urp (all over on Mom's shirt)
Playing. Crying. Sleeping. Sighing.
Where's my pacy?


Suckle, suckle. Slurp. Burp. Suckle, suckle. Slurp. Burp. Poop (oops, not that goop!)
Swinging. Cooing. Sleeping. Sighing.
I love my dolly.


Suckle, suckle. Slurp. Burp. Suckle, suckle. Slurp. Burp. Think I'll smile for a little while.
Bathing. Gooing. Snuggling. Sighing.
What should we do now?


Suckle, suckle. Slurp. Burp. Suckle, suckle, Slurp. Burp.
I love you. Goodnight.

See you in the morning.
