I have been challenged. Someone had thrown down the gauntlet and I felt compelled to pick it up. I met someone who has written everyday for more the 1,600 days. I mentioned how much I admired her accomplishment and then next thing you know she’s inviting me to write everyday for the next ten days. She’s going to provide writing prompts. I haven’t ever done writing prompts. I’m not even sure I can write from a prompt.
I’m supposed to publicly announce it and then post my “stuff”.
I was like, “I don’t have a public to announce it to. I’ll have to get some public before I can start.”
And she was like, “How about your blog?”
I said, “That’s not public. I write stupid stuff and then people I know write stupid stuff about my stupid stuff.”
She thought that was an excuse and said, “That’s good enough.”
Obviously, she hasn’t heard about the advance procrastination course I’m working on thinking about putting together. Which reminds me, I should get started.
Is that the sound of cellophane? Are there snacks in the house I don’t know about? That could be a cookie. I must go investigate and I’ll need tea to go with the cookies. I’ll probably be a little sleepy after all that sugar. I feel a nap coming on. …
I look forward to ten days of your response to prompts … guessing each will inspire some unique pushing back … was this day 1?

You can do this easy, silly girl! This dumb old man has only missed 4 days since the first of December. If I can do that, a real writer (even of dumb stuff) can do 10 days, easy! 🙂

I look forward to reading your upcoming posts, even if they are all about the best ways to avoid writing anything of note – at least we all can relate lol

Hahahahaha…. love this post. We could totally be friends (if we stop procrastinating long enough)! Love your tagline, too. I won’t steal it because my fiction isn’t murder- or zombie-related.

I used to think I couldn’t write from prompts either, but I’ve been doing it every day this month, and have several saved in a folder on my desktop to use throughout the rest of the year. And I’m *still* writing more! I participated in the A to Z April Writing Challenge this year and wanted to keep the momentum going, so I started writing from a bunch of prompts I found on Pinterest.
