Prompt 76: When was the last time you pulled an all-nighter? Why did you do it? How did you feel afterwards? I like sleep. Like, a lot of sleep. I was definitely a cat in a previous life.

Spent the morning listening to it while going through the tutorial on Scrivener. Gonna try using it to keep my … Continue reading Week 15
Prompt 75-Unlimited Money
If you had unlimited time and money, what would you do to help your friends and family? What about strangers? This is something I actually think about a lot. Usually more in finite terms though, like if I won the Powerball or one of the big national lotteries. I have too many questions about this … Continue reading Prompt 75-Unlimited Money
Prompt 70-Excuse
What is the best excuse for being late that you have ever heard or used? “Sorry I’m late. I didn’t want to come.” As a fairly introverted person, I've always wanted to use this excuse, but I also don't make plans unless I really want to do a thing. When I'm late it's usually because … Continue reading Prompt 70-Excuse

Prompt 68.Which household chores are you responsible for? Which do you hate doing? Which do you actually like?

Prompt 61: When have you experienced “heaven on earth?” Heaven is an elusive concept, and it’s a lot like beauty in that it’s in the eye of the beholder. I don’t know that I’ve ever experienced anything quite as grand as “heaven on earth” but two experiences came to mind when I thought about how … Continue reading Prompts 61-62

Prompt 58: What is the last thing (or one of the last things) you searched for on the internet? I believe it is a burden of all writers to have a bizarre internet search history. I admit, this prompt gave me a little anxiety when I realized I would have to open and review mine. … Continue reading Prompts 58-59
Prompts 51-52
Prompt 51: What is a memory you would like to erase? An earlier prompt sparked a memory-erasure short story already, so I don’t want to do another one in that vein so soon. Instead I will wax philosophic about this one for a bit then do another short prompt. I have a slight fascination with … Continue reading Prompts 51-52
New format! Week 11 begins!
Alrighty ladies, gents, and enbies, I am back after my brief sojourn! What a difference a week off makes. I didn't fully appreciate how difficult it would be to write a short story every day in addition to working my full-time job and after 50 prompts I was thoroughly drained. Now, though, I'm itching to … Continue reading New format! Week 11 begins!
