Wow so I really dropped that list of prompts and then dipped for two weeks huh. Sorry about that. I was not expecting to drop off the face of the closet-earth but sometimes life gets chaotic and you just gotta go with the flow. My anxiety has been all over the place with this pandemic … Continue reading Not Dead

Prompt 379 – Icebreaker
How do you typically break the ice in a group setting or gathering? Ice breakers are absolutely awful. I hate them. Don’t ask me to do them. Don’t put me in a group of strangers and ask me to share a fun fact or talk about the weather. If I’m in a group setting, it’s … Continue reading Prompt 379 – Icebreaker
Prompt 376 – Reward
On what occasion do you reward yourself and what is your reward? “Whatcha got there?” “Ice cream.” “Aren’t you lactose intolerant?” “Maybe. What of it?” “So why are you eating something that’s going to constipate you later?” “I’m rewarding myself.” “Seems more like punishment.” “S’not.” “What are you rewarding yourself for?” “Didn’t kill anyone at … Continue reading Prompt 376 – Reward
Prompt 348-Love Hate Relationship
Do you have a love/hate relationship with someone or something, if so explain? Writing. Obviously, I love writing, or I wouldn’t do it day after day. I love the simple act of opening a blank Word document and letting the words flow from my brain, through my fingers, onto the screen. I love bringing new … Continue reading Prompt 348-Love Hate Relationship
Prompts 289-290
Write about your first day at your current job. Most jobs these days are pretty similar on day one. You go to HR, finish filling out any paperwork you need to complete, get your name tag/badge/ID, and sit through orientations. Sometimes you get OTJ training first day, sometimes you don’t. Usually you meet your boss … Continue reading Prompts 289-290
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 215-Facts of Life
What are some of the hard facts about life? Shit happens. It just does. Plans don’t always work out. The only thing you have control over is your own reaction to these things when they go south. For myself, a very poignant case tonight. I had been toying with a couple story ideas, scenes with … Continue reading Prompt 215-Facts of Life
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 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. Keyboards made echoing clacks as her coworkers typed away at their memos and reports. A phone rang in another part … Continue reading Prompt 131-Time Consumption
