Phew! Week 4. I`m half-way to the finish line when I realize I’m supposed to say something about sweets. I’m on a continual diet. Sorry, no sweets for me.

Here is Susanna Leonard Hill’s challenge:
Take it away, Susanna.
“Pick a letter – any letter! – the first letter of your name, a letter you like the shape of, a letter you like the sound of – any letter!
Got one?
Now, pick a name that starts with that letter. This will be your character.
Now, write us 50 – 100 words (more if you like, but 50 – 100 will do of a story about this character. But here’s the challenge: you have to use as many words as possible that start with the letter you chose! Nouns, verbs, adjectives, people, places, descriptions, actions, and things – see how many words that start with your letter that you can work into your story. It does not have to be a complete story (although it can be if you want), just get started and see where it goes. You might be surprised at the directions you go trying to use words that begin with your letter!”
One wild and windy Wednesday
Wayward Wally whale wavered
Winding up in warm waters
West of Wimple Willow Way
One wild and windy Wednesday
Wee Wanda wobbled to the wharf
With her whirl-a-wig a whirling
West of Wimple Willow Way
One wild and windy Wednesday
Wiry Willy waltzed toward the waif
Whittling weird Walnut wood
West of Wimple Willow Way
One wild and windy Wednesday
A wicked weasel Willy was
Wielding his Walnut weapon
West of Wimple Willow Way
One wild and windy Wednesday
Wanda winced when Willy wanted
Her whirl-a-wig a whirling
West of Wimple Willow Way
One wild and windy Wednesday
Wattlebird’s warbled witty warnings
Wally whale whacked the water
West of Wimple Willow Way
One wild and windy Wednesday
Whoosh! Whitecaps wiped out Willy
“Waa!” he whined and wailed
West of Wimple Willow Way
One wild and windy Wednesday
Willy waded waterlogged through weeds
While Wally whale winked at Wanda
West of Wimple Willow Way
One wild and windy Wednesday
Wee Wanda waved and wondered
Would wayward Wally Whale windup
West of Wimple Willow Way?
(180 Words)
Oops, over by 80 words. Coming up with words beginning with the letter “W” proved challenging.
This story needs work, but an idea to fluff up this story popped into my brain.
I would’ve preferred to include different lettered words and use more dialogue.
An example might be: “Down at Wimple Willow Bay.”
If you have ideas that would help me expand on this story, I`d love to hear from you.
Have you ever seen a whale? Can you relate to Wee Wanda? Did Wiry Willy receive his just desserts?
