This morning’s prompt was, “The possibilities are endless.” The little essay that I read to go with the first four prompts of the month was about being vulnerable. I started off with a visceral prose poem about the endless possibilities of exposing yourself through your art. One of the images was the “I” in the […]
I just got email from someone I haven’t heard from in ages. I spent one year of college in London. Seems there’s going to be a reunion this year as it’s our *mumblemuble25 years? Holy shit!mumblemumble* renunion. I’d been planning on going back to London this year, doing research for Ester’s Park. I’d planned on
The day job has gotten busy again, for another week or so. ::le sigh:: I just keep telling myself that the extra money is a *good* thing. Which is is, actually. Day before yesterday the prompt was, “When the dust settles.” I ended up writing this story about Frank who tore down the wall between
I had an interesting writing prompt this morning. The prompt was, “This is the voice of my body.” At first, I did a prose-poem type of thing that was very personal, talking about the voice of my body. Then I started in on a fictional thing — from the point of view of a homeless

Today was a *great* writing day. The prompt was, “I can imagine.” And there was Terry, a writer, and there was Ester, his muse, dreaming in her tomb in the depths of St. Stephen’s. (For though she may be dead, she still dreams. . .) It was nice to find one of the Esters for
This morning’s writing prompt was, “Wearing that ring. . .” It was an interesting process this morning. I started out by describing the ring that I currently always wear on my thumb. After a couple of paragraphs I figured out that it was a man, Tony, who was wearing it. Only it was a pinky
*waves* I’m really busy with the day job right now. This means I don’t have a lot of time to check LJ. I’m way behind in the reading of my FL again I’m sorry to say. The day before yesterday the prompt was, “Write about falling.” For some reason, that topic didn’t interest me in
