"Pick an object from your room. Now describe it in as much detail as possible." Not the most original writing prompt. I'll roll with it though... My gray hoodie is so thin, that if I hold it up to the light, I can see right through the threads. It's the perfect summer cover-up for when…
Writing Prompt, Day 1! Because why not?
A few years ago I received a thank you gift for helping to organize a writing conference. It's a jar, with little rolled up papers in it. Each paper has a writing prompt. Here's a pic... Cute right? In an effort to make my fingers work and type something... anything... I'm going to grab one…
Drafts
Me again! Having been absent from my WordPress site for some time, now that I'm back, the entire interface seems different (Where are the Daily Prompts? Are we not doing that anymore?). Up in the corner, next to my blog name, there's a little number "41." Click on it and come to figure out that…
Happy Blog-iversary WOAW!
In January of 2013, I started this blog and wrote a post. I hit "publish" even though I had zero followers and hadn't invited anyone to read it. Here's part of what I wrote: I don’t know where my ideas will come from, or if I will ever even have another one, never mind a…
If I Ran the World
If I Ran the World, The work week would be four days. People would be more efficient because they'd know they only have four days to get their work done, and they'd be grateful for the three-day weekends. Think about it. Grocery stores would be designed so you'd walk into the dry foods section, then…
Bold Statement of the Day- I Invented Apple Pay
I know what you're thinking: this woman has finally lost her mind. But I kid you not. I invented Apple Pay. My friend Angela can vouch for me. For those of you still living in the dark ages (not judging - I love to visit there myself), with certain newer Apple devices you can set up…
Socks! (Try to contain your excitement!)
When two friends separately mentioned to me a book they read about decluttering their lives starting with their sock drawers, I knew the Universe was trying to tell me something. My sock drawer is crammed so tightly that it refuses to close unless I jam it shut with my full body weight. It's a disaster. Oh…
Minecraft, Comfits, and Wedding Strategy
The Daily Post's Daily Prompt today is: Pick a random word and do a Google image search on it. Check out the eleventh picture it brings up. Write about whatever that image brings to mind. First, I googled "random word generator" which brought me to a site that produced a bullet list of ten words.…
Well Hi There! (Alternatively titled: I’m not doing Christmas cards)
Blogtropolis! What's up? I feel a little like Drew Barrymore in Never Been Kissed on that first day she goes back to high school. Poking around WordPress, my old stomping grounds, trying to fit in again with the cool kids (you). I've been gone for so long. Sorry. I've been writing, just not here. Somewhere along the…
NaNo Update and The Daily Prompt
Hi Everyone! Well, I'm still chugging along with my word count for National Novel Writing Month but wanted to take some time out to post an update. My problem now seems to be that my NaNo story is going in a totally different direction than I'd planned. If "characters drive plot" then my characters are…
