What is a sure-fire way to distract you from the task at hand? Headphones on. Music up. Candle burning a pleasant aroma. The phone has been abandoned to another room. Messenger app has been muted. The muse is lounging peacefully. Fingers flying across the keyboard. The words are flowing. I’m in a groove. Peak productivity … Continue reading Prompt 128-Distraction

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.

Then I hop on my … Continue reading Prompt 123-Where does the time go?

Now you may be asking, "Hey Sara, what happened to that short story you promised me for Friday? You didn't post at all!" And you are absolutely right, dear reader.

Where would you be pleased to find yourself locked up overnight? I thought I could come up with a story for this one, but the more I thought about it the harder it got to decide on a setting.

Week 22
Oooh, week 22 starts on the 22nd? How exciting! And it's my anniversary! We've survived a year of marriage. The trial period is over, no more returns. I jest, of course.

Prompt 117-Finish Line Motivation
What is something you just need a kick in the pants to finish? I'm a chronic procrastinator sooo, a lot of things, haha. The big one is probably related to my writing.

Prompts 115-116
Prompt 115. Snakes: interesting or creepy? Why? I used to think snakes were creepy. When I was a kid I thought they were all like cobras or anacondas and would either poison me or strangle me. Growing up on a farm I encountered plenty of garden-variety snakes and almost always cried when I did. That … Continue reading Prompts 115-116
Week 21
Hello, hello! I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I spent mine house-hunting and watching tennis. This Wimbledon was insane. Serena in a Grand Slam final less than a year after giving birth is inspiration at the highest level. Would have loved for her to have won the trophy, but Kerber was the better … Continue reading Week 21
