Five Minute Friday: OPPORTUNITY

Five Minute Friday Opportunity

OPPORTUNITY

I did something a bit different for this week’s Five Minute Friday.

I recorded my response, after being inspired by the 4th, 5th and 6th graders competing in the District Tropicana Speaking Contest in Bristol, FL.

Here it is:

See you for this coming Thursday’s installment, when I’ll return to typing things out!

Five Minute Friday OPPORTUNITY

Welcome to this week’s Five Minute Friday. Our instructions, via creator Kate Motaung: “Write for five minutes on the word of the week. This is meant to be a free write, which means: no editing, no over-thinking, no worrying about perfect grammar or punctuation.” (But I can’t resist spell checking, as you can imagine.)

    What a great idea! Sometimes it is so difficult to sit down and put words on the page. I haven’t had the nerve to put myself in front of the camera yet and actually post it to my YouTube channel, but maybe if I told myself it couldn’t be longer than 2 minutes, I’d be able to get through it. Thanks for sharing!

      Hi Karen. Yes that’s exactly it! Baby steps. And it’s one of those things you get more comfortable with as you do it. Good luck! 🙂
