Musings - Mama Kat's Writing Workshop (23rd February 2012)

"I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat."

Edgar Allan Poe

I wish I could… Boy what a can of worms Mama Kat's writing prompt has opened up.

In fact, the worms are Anacondas! Big fanciful glittering giant wrigglers of all things that I can’t but wanna. At first I figured, hey be sensible for once and pick something heartfelt and deep… then I remembered who I am and when ‘squeeze Hugh Jackman’s bottom’ was the first thing that came to mind I realised I had a loooong list.

So for this prompt I grabbed my notepad, took out my phone and set a timer for ten minutes. Then I got myself ready, got myself set and here is what ‘I wish I could…’

•  Squeeze Hugh Jackman's bottom
• Win enough money to get out of debt
• Trade my legs for Uma Thurman's
• Write at work as all the distractions seem to help me focus
• Bake a cake that actually rises!
• Rewrite myself into the film 'White Fang' as Ethan's little lady
• Speak another language fluently
• Bend it like Beckham...
• Ballroom dance if only for the shoes
• Meet Richard of Boehmcke's Human Condition
• Convince who ever it takes to make a Moonlight Season 2
• Time travel with the ability to undo any changes I make if I don't like them
• Have more hours in the day
• Finish my writing ideas before moving onto the next one
• Have the courage to try again!!!

And ten minutes ran out with the realisation that being a Mother has not made me any saner! :)

So come on, join in and tell me what YOU wish you could... :)
