Blog attempt 1. |
The first few entries come from a private journal I have kept for a few years now. also home for my entries for ![]()

Prompt: Sudden Changes What would be a sudden change for you that could be acceptable? Do you handle changes well, and which kinds of sudden changes are you most able to face and work with? Budget crisis because of income changes are easier to take than having appliances break down. Suddenly losing the microwave function can be difficult for me. The budget can always be shaved and massaged. |
Prompt: Writing Prompts Is it easier for you to answer a writing prompt than come up with something on your own? And do you think writing prompts are helpful to you, and if you do, which kinds of writing prompts do you look for? Well it depends. Sometimes my best ideas come from my dreams at night. I even have dreamed about writing stories. Then I wake up with outlines I have to get down quickly before they fade. Sometimes great stories have come from prompts. They stir around in my head with characters I have already established. New characters are born and situations I have never thought of using all blend together. |
I didn't get any prompts today. I really don't know what to write about. I am having a rough day typing. I did a nerve test in both hands yesterday to see if i have carpal tunnel. it was bad on my left wrist but my right wrist, the one that got me reffered to ortho in the first place was agony. The electrodes made my hand twitch and spasm. that hurt bad! like a 14 on the pain scale. it is still sore. |
Prompt: Let's talk about naps. Do you take naps? Do you feel they're beneficial or not? When you do sleep does it have to be quiet or do the sounds of summer lull you into sleep? Well. I have to say, naps are good. When I was little I remember trying to sneak out of my mom's waterbed without waking her when she decided it was time to take a nap. I only ever managed to once or twice the waterbed wasn't the motion isolation kind and my waves almost always gave me away. This meant I ended up falling asleep. Ironically she didn't wake me when she got out of the bed to work on chores. She just left me sleeping. |
I wrote a poem about peace. It was for the we want peace contest. I like it but don't know if it is a winning poem. Then again I never feel like any of my entries are worthy of winning. I have another short story I am working on for the lodestar contest, and I think I might do the Adam West conspiracy contest for the contest challenge. Those will work for the Bradbury challenge and contest. I have a lot I want to get done this week. |
I'm going to write from a prompt i was emailed today. Prompt: What makes me powerful? Write about this in your Blog entry today. Words make me powerful. Words can uplift and inspire. Words can cause pain, depression, or death. Words paint pictures of things never seen and they dig up memories you didn't remember. When you write you are wielding words, like weapons, like surgical tools. The pen is only as powerful as the words that flow out of it. It isn't the pen that is mightier than the sword. It's words. |
I am going to attempt to actually blog every day for habit heroes. This is my first goal related entry. I know I could continue to just comment on other people's blogs, but I feel like that's lazy. Although it can be hard some days to even do that. My colonoscopy went well yesterday although the prep gave me hemroids. |
Doing mentally better today but my joints are all conspiring against me. I have managed very little today. |
Yesterday I ran out of spoons by 11. I had a meltdown by 11:30. And was speaking in single word sentences until I droused around dinner time. Then I was up to three word sentences. I don't know for sure what broke me but I just couldn't. I tried to do WdC but... I just couldn't even do that. Running low on spoons today. Very close to tears. It didn't help that I forgot my morning pills until dinner time. I have a colonoscopy on the 7th and will be without my pills for 36 hours. Not looking forward to it. |
