Writer's Workshop - Something New

Something new you tried.

I never got the whole fishing thing.

You sit in a boat,

touch icky worms,

throw in a line

and wait.

Wait in hopes that 

a fish will take the bait.

Scott, 

on the other hand,

loves to fish.

And he loves me enough

not to ask me to go with him.

Then Easter weekend happened.

We went to a lodge.

To see some animals

and mostly,

to relax.

I'm on Spring Break.

I have no lesson plans to write,

no homework to mark,

and no studying to do.

I had big plans to sit by the pool

and read.

But then,

Ethan decided he wanted to go fishing.

At first,

I thought I'd stay back.

But it was Ethan's first time fishing

and someone had to be there to document it all.

So I went.

After about 5 minutes,

Ethan caught his first fish.

That's when I decided I wanted to give it a try too.

Yes, that's right,

I tried something new.

Fishing!

And,

you know,

it really wasn't so bad.

Just don't be thinking

this trying something new

will become a habit!
