Day 13: What are three things you are better at than most people?And the difficult writing prompts just keep on coming. I really had to sit and think about this one for a while before I started writing, because I don't consider myself better at anything than anyone else. Though, after sitting through this Tech… Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 13

Day 12: Name and explain the one guilty pleasure that you can't live without. ie: That cupcake shop you visit weekly, a book you read repeatedly to find solace in, etc. Then explore the idea of how you would feel if you gave that thing up for a year.This is a really hard prompt for… Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 12

Day 11: How are you like your mother? And if you are a mother, how is/are your kid(s) like you?Well, I guess I get to skip half of this writing prompt, seeing as how I'm very much not a mother. I can easily say that there's been a lot of thought placed into this very… Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 11

Day 10: What is the best and/or worst thing about your life right now?What a loaded question. What is the best and worst thing about my life right now? I suppose I'll start with the worst, and I'll end with the best.The worst thing about my life is the daily struggle of fighting for myself.… Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 10

Day 9: What was your favorite children's book?I was in the third grade, and I had a nasty habit of finishing my homework in class before a lot of the other students in class. I'd sit there drawing on my desk or trying to strike up conversations with the other kids in class. Believe it… Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 9

Day 8: Why blog?

I blog, because I love writing. I get behind a lot. Let's face it. It's December 18th, and… Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 8

Day 7: Who or what makes you laugh so hard that milk shoots out of your nose and why? Slapstick, dry witty comedy, your kids, Monty Python? We highly encourage stories, video, photos and other things that might endanger our computer screens with flying milk! Or really any beverage. This has got to be one of… Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 7

Day 6: List 10 things that you would never do.First off, I guess I should place a disclaimer at the beginning of this post, because I'm hugely against saying I'll "never" do something. While I may fight and scream and swear I'll never do something, it's quite possible I'll end up doing the thing I… Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 6

Day 5: What is the one thing you finally did this year that you always wanted or said you were going to do, but in your heart of hearts never thought you would actually do?This is probably just the writing prompt that I needed this year. It's extremely relevant, that's for sure. In May of… Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 5

Day 4: In the movie version of your life, which actor/actress would play you and the significant players in your life? What kind of movie is it (e.g., Made for T.V., Action, emo/Indie, etc.)? What will be the major plot points, and how will it end?Wow, this is kind of a loaded question. Honestly, I've… Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 4
