I hate writing. That's how I was feeling for a while this afternoon. Even as I was feeling it, I knew it wasn't true, but still there's a lingering frustration in me that I need to vent about. Because writing is my outlet, and even though I hate it today, overall I know I love … Continue reading Writing Is Dumb

Prompt 360 – Charitable Giving
How do you feel about wealthy people that don’t give back? I’m pretty firmly in the “there are no good billionaires” camp and borderline “eat the rich” camp, even if they do “give back.” The mere concept of giving back is preposterous to me. That a person could have amassed so much wealth as to … Continue reading Prompt 360 – Charitable Giving
Prompt 277-Grinds My Gears
What grinds your gears and really annoys you? For a self-proclaimed “super laid back” chick, I certainly find myself in a state of annoyance more often than I care to admit. Maybe it’s a hyperawareness thing; I recognize when I’m annoyed more because my mental image of myself is serene and imperturbable and then it … Continue reading Prompt 277-Grinds My Gears
Prompt 238-Regular Books
There is a strong current trend among kids to read comic books or graphic novels instead of regular books. What do you think about that? Ok, here we go. What do I think about that? What do I think about that?! *cracks knuckles* I think it’s pretty friggin awesome is what I think. Stories come … Continue reading Prompt 238-Regular Books
Backstreet’s…Back? What?
Good morning fellow bloggers, writers, friends, and randos! How are you on this fine Sunday? Hopefully it's warmer than earlier this week. I know the temperature is trending upward here. We're going to be in the mid-40's today and then, allegedly, 51 tomorrow and 58 on Tuesday. That's the kind of weather I would crack … Continue reading Backstreet’s…Back? What?
You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Happy Sunday, friends! Have an early-ish post today because I have plans for the afternoon. Some overdue human interaction with someone who is not my husband! (Have I mentioned I do not get out much? Other people? Hiss boo hiss.) My friend from work is coming over to hang out and watch anime and eat … Continue reading You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Prompt 134-Physically Fit
Have you ever been significantly more or less physically fit than you are today? What was different about that? What was easier? Harder? Did others treat you any differently? During my junior and senior years of high school, I was on the cross country ski team. I hadn't played a sport since a season of … Continue reading Prompt 134-Physically Fit
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 129-Storage
What would you like to put in storage? “Dammit!” Shannon cursed as she rubbed her stubbed toe. She had accidentally dragged the metal base of the ancient recliner over her foot as she moved it to vacuum. The tawny leather armchair was a death trap that had been trying to kill her since she first … Continue reading Prompt 129-Storage
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
