Prompt 338-Infomercial
Have you ever bought anything off an infomercial, if so what and did you like it? I’ve never bought anything from a TV ad where you have to call and they charge you $8.95 for shipping and handling, but I have probably bought a few things from brick and mortar stores that sell “As Seen … Continue reading Prompt 338-Infomercial
Absentee Author
Welcome to another week of prompts! I am currently wandering around the San Juan islands in the Pacific northwest and (probably) having a grand ol' time!

Instead you get to just jump right into … Continue reading Absentee Author
Prompt 334-Novel Life

In what way do you spread yourself too thin? I’ve gotten a lot better about spreading myself too thin these last few years. I suppose the biggest way I could treat myself better now would be to get more sleep. I spread myself thin by not giving myself enough time to work on my writing, … Continue reading Prompt 329-Spread Thin
Prompt 326-Kindness
What is the best way to show kindness and hospitality to strangers? I don’t know about any “best” way. I think kindness should just be the norm and that whatever you are comfortable doing is the best thing to do. Showing kindness to people should never be a bad thing. I witnessed and experienced several … Continue reading Prompt 326-Kindness
