Writespiration is a great challenge as it really gets my grey matter working.
The challenge is to write something using the weekly theme, in just 52 words…. EXACTLY 52 words, no more, no less and it’s harder than it sounds.
This week Sacha wants to know:
Your most embarrassing moment… and yes, it can be fiction, but I’d much prefer memoir! Give me juicy memories and gossip.
Embarrassment
I am embarrassed to say I’m the embarrassment
I don’t mean to be that way, it just happens.
I talk too much, overshare, tell embarrassing stories
Snort when I laugh, can’t tell jokes
I can smell a camera a mile off
Always ready with a big cheesy embarrassing smile.
And I blog!
Are you keen to join in the fun of writing a story in just 52 words?? Give it a go and let me know what you come up with.
Deb 🙂

I think you sound wonderful!!!! I’ve embarrassed myself by falling over on stage and actually falling off a stage. (Someone leaned over from the stage, offered me a hand, and hauled me back up again to continue on). Haha!!

Love it! I’m right there with you – many a person has failed to become my new bff because they got overwhelmed/embarrassed that first time we met. Their loss, right? Who wouldn’t want a guaranteed distraction around the next time they do something potentially embarrassing?

I wonder if it’s a coincidence that the words “embarrass” and “embrace’ sound so similar? For some reason, the things I like most about people are their imperfections, the things that make them human, embraceable, and wonderful. I never wanted to hug a statue–too perfect, cold, and unchanging. Give me a person who can’t tell a joke, talks too much, and snorts when she laughs any day!

Nothing wrong with being an embarrassment, Deb! Go for it, I say!
Mind you, I’m a bit of an embarrassment myself so I’m a little biased! Good post.
