Prompt 257-Back To School
If you had the resources and extra time to go back to school, what would you like to study? Since graduating seven years ago, I’ve pondered this exact question a handful of times. When I was working two jobs to supplement the stipend my boyfriend (who is now my husband) received from his graduate program … Continue reading Prompt 257-Back To School
The Filler Episodes
Happy Monday everyone! I hope your Easter weekend was as fun and relaxing as mine. I really needed those extra couple days off from work. It's still a few months until I get an actual vacation, but it was nice to be able to take a long weekend to visit family. It also means I … Continue reading The Filler Episodes
Prompts 241-242
Prompt 241: How clean is your house right now? My house (still slightly surreal to say that, my house) is moderately clean. That is to say, it is far from immaculate but nowhere near landfill. I like to think I do a decent job of keeping it presentable. I clean as I go for the … Continue reading Prompts 241-242
Prompt 232-Better World
Are you making the world a better place? I really liked this prompt when I read it on Sunday. I thought for sure I would come up with a fun short story or scene to encapsulate it. Then I forgot about it until this morning when I checked the list to see what was on … Continue reading Prompt 232-Better World
Prompt 225-Good Deeds
Do you do good things when no one is watching? Listen.

I don’t want the NPCs … Continue reading Prompt 225-Good Deeds
Prompt 215-Facts of Life
What are some of the hard facts about life? Shit happens. It just does. Plans don’t always work out. The only thing you have control over is your own reaction to these things when they go south. For myself, a very poignant case tonight. I had been toying with a couple story ideas, scenes with … Continue reading Prompt 215-Facts of Life
Of Diamonds and Emeralds, Love and Murder
Happy Sunday! How has your weekend been? Between skiing Friday night and the murder mystery party last night, I've had a fully scheduled weekend. It's a lot more excitement than I'm used to but it was super fun. I hadn't been skiing probably in two years, but like riding a bicycle, it came right back … Continue reading Of Diamonds and Emeralds, Love and Murder
Prompt 207-Do You Dance
Do you prefer to dance with no one watching, with a group of friends, or with one special partner? I enjoy dancing. Whether I’m alone, with friends, or with a partner, if there’s music playing somewhere, I will move to it. I’m the sort of person who doesn’t particularly believe in “can’t dance.” It’s not … Continue reading Prompt 207-Do You Dance
Prompt 203-Comic
Describe your favorite comic strip or cartoon. When I read “comic strip” I think of the funnies section of my stepdad’s newspaper. I would read them while I ate my cereal before school, to get myself in a good mood before heading off to have my soul sucked dry (I’m being mostly hyperbolic here, I … Continue reading Prompt 203-Comic
