Weaving a Web

Of experiences, thoughts and emotions

7x7x7x7

Posted on June 12, 2013 by Ritu

This post is for the Write Tribe prompt 7x7x7x7 To write a post in 7 lines … for a novelist who writes a story in 80 thousand words, a challenge!

Grab the 7th book from your bookshelf.
Open it up to page 7.
Pinpoint the 7th sentence on the page.
Begin a poem/a piece of prose that begins with that sentence
Limit it in length to 7 lines/7 sentences…. I used the 7th word of the Dr. Suess poem I was reading which is YOUR.

You’re off to great places

Today’s your day

Your mountain is waiting

So … get on your way … Dr. Suess

Your lucky number is seven

Oh really, is it like that IndusInd Bank corny ad?

So … should I eat seven chapatis every day?

Or cook seven courses for dinner?

What does lucky mean any way?

Bad luck is also luck, so is normal or indifferent luck, isn’t it?

Ahh, forget it, got too much to do to think this through.

I have a thing for fancy numbers, but don’t let it dominate decisions or life 😀 Like you say, too much to think about!

That IndusInd ad is hilarious though 😉

  ROFL Story in 7 lines! After writing stories in 80,000 words or more, I was wondering if I’d lost the art

“Bad Luck is also Luck’, Waah… loved the lines:)
We at times rely more on Luck, than hardwork and positivity

  In my experience, bad luck is way better than good luck, it teaches us so much which serves us so well later when things are going our way. It is painful when it happens though
