Over the last few weeks, I’ve been in writing prompt heaven. And now that Musings by Melanie Dawnn is about to turn 1, I wanted to commemorate the occasion with something creative and interesting – a writing challenge!
The goal of the challenge is to encourage subscribers and visitors of the blog to put their thinking caps on, and write about a specific topic from a different perspective. So, without further adieu, here are the challenge details….
1. Pick a person from any era, and relive/rewrite history (similar to Sam Beckett’s character on Quantum Leap). Describe what you’d change and why. Include what impact you think this would make on history.
OR
2. Choose a point in your own life you’d like to go back and rewrite. Give insight on what you’d do differently. How do you think this would change the outcome of your life? What affect would this change have on the world and/or those you care about?
Have fun with this challenge! Think outside the box. Be as creative and descriptive as you want. Submit a link to your post in the comments section below by November 14th. If selected, your post (and blog/website) will be showcased on Musings by Melanie Dawnn on November 17th.
Looking forward to reading your posts. Good luck and Happy Leaping!!! 🙂
XOXO, Melanie Dawnn

On Tuesday, Felicia waited for her husband to leave for work and the kids to school. She hurried upstairs to grab the suitcase she had packed little by little over the course of the last week. She signed into her other email account created just for this adventure to make sure that her reservations were set. She decided that she’d use cash just to make sure there was no trail. Once she had what she needed, she printed off her documents and then logged out – making sure to clear any trace from the internet history. Grabbing her purse and keys, she walked towards the side door to the garage – stopping to look back at the life she was trying to escape. One last thought rushed into her mind. Should she leave a note or just vanish without a trace? She opted for the former thinking it selfish if anyone worried about her. Taking pen to paper, Felicia wrote: 
I was born on a Tuesday…no, wait….a Thursday. Well I guess at my age now, it really doesn’t matter. Hi, my name is Anne, and I’m 74 years young. I used to not say things like that because my mind wasn’t right. Well, not in a mentally disordered sense, but just my way of thinking. My only regret, is that I didn’t learn about thinking better, sooner. Would have made a lot of different decisions if I had. I know you didn’t come here to hear about my problems. But I’ll share a piece of my life with you. Maybe it’ll help some youngins get it together before their bones turn brittle.
