Day Twenty-Five

What are your fondest memories of your childhood? And the saddest? Write briefly about a memory that is particularly powerful, whether it is happy or sad. Write a story, poem or create an artwork based on those feelings and experiences or based on a character's memories.

I just finished updating the links list, so all entries created so far can be found here. Banners and icons for participants are available here.

Today is also the day Frodo destroyed the Ring in LotR and it is Tolkien Reading Day, so best wishes to all for today's myriad Middle-earth holidays! :)

Happy Gondorian New Year!

*waves* Happy VS-Day to everyone.

For today's prompts (actually the last three days really combined into this idea) I wrote a Denethor character piece.

Dawn, I leave it up to you how you want to list this. I don't know what the policy is on one story being used for more than one prompt. I certainly feel I've addressed each day's element; but I'm not necessarily trying to write each day, so if you feel it's appropriate to only list it under one day, I am completely okay with that. I would feel equally comfortable with it being listed under today or yesterday.

Ack, it's Gondorian New Year too! Today just keeps getting better! :D

Happy Gondorian New Year!

If you say that it fits three days, then that's good enough for me. :) We're really trying not to belabor this too much; in the end, really, I hope people have some fun with it and maybe end up trying new things, both as readers and as writers.

So I've added you under all three days! I look forward to reading it (I'm sooo behind!) :)

Thanks. I didn't think you guys were being strict about such stuff, which does make it more fun; but I also didn't want to assume.

No hurry on reading it. You've reviewed every single piece I've written, I think, or nearly all; and I haven't reviewed any of yours. Please take your time.

Here is my attempt for today, which brought back many memories while writing it.

This is so precious! And I love how you've woven your own memories into this; as I was reading, I was thinking how innovative an idea it was and how genuine it seemed. The note at the end, of course, explained it all. :)

Isn't it funny how easy it is to get fixated on those small things we had as children? My dad sent me a picture taken some time ago of my sister's and my playroom in disarray, and how I have loved squinting at the picture and trying to recognize familiar old toys!

Thank you so much, I'm delighted you enjoyed this. It brought back some lovely memories to write it.I wish I had a photo with my toys in the background.

Well I'd better continue writing, I so want to complete this challenge. I've been hampered by a week of computer problems and a week I was unable to be online!
