If this is your first time joining us, please go to the following link and read the ‘rules & regs’ … nothing difficult, just a few basic guidelines! https://annieswritingchallenge.wordpress.com/writing-outside-the-lines/
Writing Outside The Lines – Prompt 3
I have been a Star Trek fan for years and this is my favorite quote from the show. I have had only one boss in my entire career that allowed me autonomy and trusted my judgement in doing something “outside the lines”. Every time I would propose something new to him and he said “Make It So” I knew he was onboard with whatever wild idea I had at the time.
One of my favorite things to write with for a prompt is a word list. Using the above quote and the following words … you may use one or all of them … write about a time, a thing, an idea, etc that you were allowed to “Make It So”!
Word Bank:
grovel submerge radiance lower jaded
Remember, you may write in the genre of your choice or a combination … I have been known in challenges to write a piece of flash fiction as well as a poem for the same prompt … this is your challenge with yourself, for you and you make the decisions!
The bottom line is to always have fun!

“Make It So!”
At one time long ago
I was on the rise
Artistic talent
Recognized
But the art world…
Always jaded
My prospects
Faded
Must I grovel
Lower myself
I asked…
Not my way
Submerged
For years
In harsh reality
None but myself
To say
Let go
When push
Meets shove
& you know
You must go
It’s your’s
To say
“Make it so!”

That’s an entitlement that comes to “elder statesmen & women”, Annie. Say what you think, not what they expect…or they run all over you.

Can only mentor those who already have the words lurking inside just waiting to be freed … the desire must be there or the writing does not happen.

Memories of another time.. I used to grovel for his love… I lowered my standards to suit him..becoming jaded and angry
Until you… I submerged myself in your radiance, felt the warmth of your light.
Afraid to love until you asked me to simply release my fear and make it happen.. And I did.. And now.. Love
