I love to write and am finding it difficult to do so because there are so many things rumbling around in my mind. Having my mind cluttered with day to day "stuff" I am looking for some writing discipline. Google led me to creativewritingprompts.com so I am going to give these a shot! The 1st prompt was for me to pick an object the room, close my eyes, think about it, open my eyes and write about the object without looking at it. So, I cheated. I was outside and I chose a planter to write about but I looked at it the whole time. Enjoy! :)
Atop a wrought iron table sits an old bowl made of metal, looking similar to an old military helmet. Through the rust you can see this bowl had been painted long ago in a vibrant sky blue. He found the bowl on an adventure in the arid deserts of Arizona and it is apparent some young fire arm enthusiast used this bowl for target shooting. The bullet holes that riddle the bowl are more rusted than any other part of the bowl creating a wonderful outlaw rustic look. When he found this bowl he knew exactly what he would use it for and now the bowl, atop a wrought iron table houses a wonderful bouquet of rosemary he can use in the creative dishes he makes for his family.

A good place to start with writing discipline would be to force yourself to finish your Europe trip story! You were doing such a good job with it and then just left us hanging. As far as the story goes you're still there!
