Week 25
Oh snap, where did this Sunday afternoon go? Time flies when you're avoiding responsibilities I guess. I had plans to purge my closet, to fill and take bags of old clothes and shoes to Goodwill, but I cleaned the kitchen instead and got sucked into YouTube videos while eating lunch. I did get some writing … Continue reading Week 25
Prompt 132-Digital Relationships
Have you ever made a friend with, or fallen in love with, someone you met online? Once upon a time, the internet was a quieter place with several niche communities. We weren’t connected 24/7 like we are now. In the early days, you had a “family computer” that you had to share with parents and … Continue reading Prompt 132-Digital Relationships
Prompt 131-Time Consumption
What do you spend most of your time doing every day (when you are not writing)? Tick. Tick. Tick. The second hand of the clock on the wall drummed a steady beat in Jasmine’s head.

Prompts 126-127
126. How do you react when someone compliments you? I think I mentioned earlier this week that I was a shy kid growing up. I never really grew out of that. Introvert to the core. For the longest time, I was incapable of taking a compliment. If someone complimented me on physical aspects like my … Continue reading Prompts 126-127
Prompts 124-125
Write about an extracurricular activity you did when you were growing up, and how it affects (or does not affect) your life now.

Prompt 123-Where does the time go?
Write about an experience you had when you lost track of time. It’s so easy to lose track of time these days.
