Take some time to think about all the things you are thankful for.  Try to think beyond things that are material (possessions) and to things that aren't like love, family, pride, etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This month's contest has two options...&lt;br /&gt;1.  Write about why the things you thought about are meaningful to you.  Be descriptive.  Let the reader really feel your emotion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OR&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  Write about what it would be like if you lost some or all of these things.  How would you feel?  How would your world be different?  How would you overcome this obstacle?  Be descriptive.  Let the reader really feel your emotion!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5899666712912646097-5233722920271820328?l=rciwritingwall.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rciwritingwall.blogspot.com/feeds/5233722920271820328/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rciwritingwall.blogspot.com/2009/11/november-writing-contest.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5899666712912646097/posts/default/5233722920271820328'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5899666712912646097/posts/default/5233722920271820328'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rciwritingwall.blogspot.com/2009/11/november-writing-contest.html' title='November Writing Contest'/><author><name>Lori Rugotska</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02439921797164286618</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899666712912646097.post-9033214112638051508</id><published>2009-10-13T05:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-13T05:15:36.181-07:00</updated><title type='text'>October's Writing Wall</title><content type='html'>Spooky stories and movies are filled with vivid descriptions and pictures.
