"Prompt: Use these words in your blog post: inchoate, anxiety, hammock, bookcase."

I strung my inchoate hammock across the room to my bookcases, which were bolted to the walls. Then I lay down with some trepidation and anxiety praying the whole thing would not fall. However it held good and I slept comfortably.

"What chore do you most dislike doing? Tell us a creative story about how you might get out of doing it."

I always hated cleaning my room or something. The only time I would do it was if I was on speed and had the excess energy. One day I was told to clean my room and I said I would. I no more than got started when a beautiful woman appeared before me. It was the goddess Aphrodite and we all know what she wanted. We spent the entire evening together and the room never did get cleaned.

"Prompt: “Happiness, not in another
place but this place…
not for another hour
but this hour”
Walt Whitman, “A Song for Occupations,” Leaves of Grass

Are you happy at “this hour”? If not, what would make you happy?"

I am very happy at this hour. Another hour of sleep would have made me more so.
