took the Grind Café Writers’ Group “Free-write Challenge” at this year’s Summer
Dreams Literary Arts Festival at Trout Lake, Vancouver. The brave drew random
prompts then took a break from the fest to go sit under a tree, and let it rip
for 10 minutes without stopping in a free-write—and see what emerged. Braver
yet, they agreed to let us post their raw version. So remember, this is
unedited, unfinished output. Thanks to all participants.

Prompt:
Write a Match.com, Plenty of Fish, or e-Harmony-type descriptive ad for
each of your children (or for your siblings, or your ex, or your best friends).
Write the ad that would highlight their best qualities and which would attract
the most perfect partner ever. Your ad should describe the qualities of their
perfect partner as well.
(An
anonymous dear friend P.O.V.): Beautiful
Métis 30s female, slender, mother of a 6-year-old girl, seeks male for a
relationship that’s traditional with great libido. Sugar Mamma? No. Sugar Dad?
Maybe. I’ll cook dinner beautifully every day and send you to work with a
lunchbox, if you don’t’ work away in a camp (which is a beneficial item—no
getting sick of each other).
More
babies? Heck, yes! I always wanted to be a housewife. That’s demonized now. I
am no gold digger; I just like being a homemaker. I used to be a stripper and
am no Christian I enjoy a drink and some rough sex. I like my men manly, with
nice bodies—like mine. And nice wheels.
I keep myself looking good. I am irreverent, no topic taboo for teasing;
the occasional cigarette hasn’t yellowed my teeth. Music taste: bold eclectic—I
love every type. Not a redneck. Piercings and tattoos? Yes. One of my
specialties is Spanish Chicken, baked stuffed with lemons in a cast of salt. I
love to cook and love to fatten up my man.Make me feel like a woman?— I’ll
pamper you!
