Writing Prompt – Creative Copy Challenge #700

Hello everyone!

Can you believe it! This is writing Prompt number 700!
Wowser.
I remember finding this Creative Copy Challenge back on Challenge… are you ready… challenge number 31 or 32!
Back then Shane, the parent of this CCC, used to have challenges twice a week – Tuesdays and Thursdays!
I sent back and did all 31 of them!

And now, now we are up to challenge #700!
Well, without delay here is our Creative Copy Challenge #700!
Let’s Write on!

It’s 10 words.
They are semi-related… and sometimes not. That’s what makes it a challenge.
I am inviting you to take these 10 words, below, and see how you can use them in a poem, a piece of flash fiction, a short short story….
You never know when being relaxed about your writing can help you focus on your main project or… just come here each week, play with words, help your children have fun with words and challenge them to write too.

Come back. Post what you’ve written and get some FREE, Positive response to your writing!

Some of us BOLD the Challenge Words. Some CAPITALIZE them… just to make it easy to see how many of the challenge words you are able to work into your penning!

    “There is no LUCK in TRADITION. Although I HOPE all SUPERSTITIONs be put aside for CELEBRATION of the POTATO SOUP that was a staple of those with BROGUEs,” Gavin says as he watches Patty TAP the rim of the tall mug stopping the SUDS.

    If we have any LUCK, we will be CELEBRATING with our Irish friends tonight. It is TRADITION to often eat POTATO SOUP with lots of meat and vegetables. I love to hear their BROGUE as they tell their stories of SUPERSTITION. I am enthralled by their tales. I do HOPE that there will be a TAP serving their famous beer with lots of SUDS. They do know how to CELEBRATE. “May the roof above us never fall in. And may the friends gathered below it never fall out.”

    Just her luck, Meredith’s hope she would escape the long-held tradition withered like a collapsing balloon. Her best friend, Jane, steamrolled the escape route. As a new author, Meredith had the dubious honor of hosting their reading group’s next review party.

    Call it superstition, but Meredith balked at the idea of reviewing a book that had barely hit the publishing scene. It was way too early to celebrate, and Meredith’s psyche was way too raw to withstand criticism. Constructive or otherwise.

    But there was no getting out of it. Not only did she have to bare her soul over her published infant but as hostess she had to come up with a theme. Tapping into her Irish roots, Meredith called the gathering the Wilde Ride to Fame.

    The menu was out of the pages of her Irish grandmother’s most cherished recipes. Meredith felt the group would welcome the hearty Irish Potato Soup on the blustery Vermont winter day. The suds of a good Guinness brew would be on tap. Meredith could almost hear her grandfather’s thick Irish brogue as he sighed, “Ah, the liquid bread of God.”

    Maybe if she served enough of it,  her friends would forget about her book.
