Workshop Write
Today's prompt:

Remember your elderly lady from April 3? What is standing in the way of her dream? Make a list of people, things, places, circumstances that could be fighting against her.
Her dream is to have people in her life again.


*Her health makes it difficult for her to get around. She tires easily. Or her feet/legs/knees/joints hurt too much most of the time to get around without some sort of assistance.
*A community that believes wrong things about her or her dead husband and avoid her.
*She's been shunned for taking an unpopular view in the close-knit rural community
*No vehicle
*A fear of spending money
*All of her friends have moved in town
*All of her friends are dead or bedfast
*She has developed a fear of leaving the house.
*Some young people love to torment her and so she stays home to avoid them
*She's opinionated and difficult to get along with
*She neglected her friends, and it has come back to haunt her
*Her memory isn't what it used to be--people come but she can't remember they've been there.
*Her children don't want her to sell the house and move to town because it will diminish their inheritance
*She had an argument with her children when their father died and won't speak to them.
*Her children have convinced a court that they needed to handle her financial affairs and they hoard the money. She can't get her car fixed, can't afford to buy gas for it, can barely afford food.
*She believes that Edward appears to her in the house and she's afraid she'll miss him if she leaves.
*None of her clothing fits anymore--she's lost a lot of weight and is too embarrassed to be seen in public.
