Where Were You in 1974?
An April Daily Writing Prompt
The daily writing prompt at the Challenged for April 7: You are transported back 50 years to April 7, 1974. Describe your life. If you weren’t born, you can research 1974, or make stuff up. (Don’t you love how I describe fiction?)
I was not quite 10 years old on April 7, 1974, and probably looked something like this. Check out the television, the drapes, and the clothes. I would have been finishing up 4th grade. My tenth birthday was in July 1974.
I was very tomboyish. I always wore pants and T-shirts. My hair was short. I was always in the barn with Dad and avoided female house chores like cooking and doing the dishes. Mom made sure I knew how to cook and bake and crochet and sew, but I hated every minute of it.
Maybe some of these facts will help you remember where you were in 1974.
