Welcome to the Picture it & Write creative writing exercise. I invite people to join in, comment with your paragraph of fiction to accompany the image. It doesn’t have to follow my story or reflect the same themes. It can be a poem or in a different language (please provide a translation). Anyone who wants to join in, is welcome. This photograph will be reblogged under Ermisenda on tumblr and added to the Picture it & Write gallery on Facebook and Pinterest.
Please continue to write however you’re inspired, but add a tag to the beginning of your post if there’s mature content in order to keep Picture it & Write an engaging event for all of our followers.
“Take my card. Do not allow me to buy more than two books. No matter how much I beg or plead, we are here to get two Christmas gifts and that’s it. We’re going to ignore the sale section. Better to pay full price for the gifts than get sucked in to buying five books from the bargain bin. Promise me. Promise me!”
I promised, but when she walked out of the book store with her two Christmas gifts, four other books for Christmas gifts, three books for herself, a quote blanket for the sofa, a calendar with scotties dressed as book characters, and two board games, I realized I was an enabler.

Thank you. It’s based on a true story. Guess which person was me?
You probably were the book spendthrift :p lol
Yep. Only my brother has been able to keep my wallet away from me.

This makes me think of the many Pinterest boards for Book Boyfriends.
lol 😀

Thanks ^^ I have a weakness for books, especially where memberships and discounts are involved.
Bang!
The door slammed and Susan could hear Raquel muttering “I hate school” in a loud whisper.
There was going to be drama, she could tell, but Susan knew what to do.
In the living space, next to Raquel’s favourite chair, she had placed a table with a steaming mug of fresh hot chocolate, a warm blanket, inspirational pillow and one good book.
Whatever had happened Susan knew that one look would tell her daughter that things were not all bad, that there were still things in the world to be thankful for, and that her mother would always be there for her.
It never failed to make things better.
Nice one Joe ~ The imagination is there to be fed ~ 🙂
Oh I love this! Hot chocolate and books is definitely the way to unwind. I have a mug that on the inside says “take a sip, turn the page.”
That sounds so nice…!
wow, this one is so cool 🙂
Enabler, indeed. Sigh. I can resist either and would find a way to buy a book or three or more. It’s a sickness. It must be. ❤ ❤ Wonderful story.
