It’s THURSDAY!! And you know what that means!
Or maybe you don’t. That’s cool too. It’s time for our #ThursdayTen!! Using the image above as a prompt, write a ten word story.
EXACTLY ten words.
I bet you could do it in your sleep!
Well, probably not in your sleep, typing is a challenge that way.
Ready? Here’s mine:
Dave forgot it was the day gravity leapt forward again.
It’s THURSDAY! Which means it’s time for our #ThursdayTen!
Good times ahead!! Well, if you make those good times, this requires a little participation. Or not, up to you.
Where were we?
AH YES.
Using the image below as a prompt, write a ten word story.
EXACTLY ten words.
No problem, right?
Ready? Here’s mine:
Her Dudedroid (TM) arrived uncharged and she was out of Cheetos.
It’s THURSDAY!! And time for our #ThursdayTen! If you’re new, WELCOME!
If you started last week, here we go again!
If you’ve been with me a while for this, well, you’ve got to know how awesome you are by now.
SO.
Using this irresistibly weird image above as a prompt, write a ten word story.
EXACTLY ten words.
Ready? Here’s mine:
His performance didn’t stand time’s test. But his toupee did.
No writing prompt today, taking a little bit of a blog break, only for today. I hope you have a lovely, lovely Thursday, though.
Nothing to worry about, I just need to recharge my creativity!
It’s AI collaborative art again, because as you know, I’m fascinated by it. And why not start off the new year with a little computer-generated ridiculousness?
Using the image above as a prompt, write a ten word story.
EXACTLY ten words.
Hopefully this one will get the ideas flowing. I had a hard time choosing among the results this week!
Anyway, ready?
Here’s mine:
Ghsksto couldn’t resist photobombing Xyowatoinwk showing off her new magnosled.
Wow, I wrote this and never published it yesterday. So you can have it today, when I was going to go postless. Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!
And the actual post:
I had plans for a semi-complicated dessert to make for tomorrow. But then I decided…
Nah.
I didn’t feel like the work. I didn’t feel like hassling with a cheesecake water bath. So I decided to scale down. I’ll probably make cheesecake bars, all of the taste, less of the work.
Not sure why it’s easier, but it is.
It’s a strange time of the year, and the pressures are constant. But we don’t have to accept the pressure, we don’t have to give into it or live with it.
We can just do something else.
It’s OK to do something else.
Some years I’d enjoy the challenge of something more complicated, but I can say without reservation this is not one of those years.
So I’ll go easier. Maybe I’ll go completely different.
We’ll see, I haven’t yet settled.
But whatever it is, I will give myself permission to scale down. And so should you.
Have a great holiday tomorrow if that’s your thing, and a bearable one if great is out of the question. Not sure yet if there will be a prompt.
I’m just not up to the task of a prompt this week, I’m sure you all understand. I’m still digesting and synthesizing and trying to adjust to the new reality.
The newish reality.
My mom was so sick for so long, it’s a strange transition.
And I don’t want to become one of those people where it’s all I talk about, but still, it hasn’t even been two weeks. Not even two weeks.
It feels like forever.
It feels like it didn’t happen.
Anyway, point is I’m trying to get my feet back under me, and it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe next week.
Maybe the week after.
Either way, I hope you have a great Thursday.
I’m fine, everything’s about as fine as it gets, I’m just not finding an inspiring image for a prompt today. Sometimes they are harder to come by than you’d think.
We’ll try again next week.
Meanwhile it was supposed to rain this morning but I’m not seeing any evidence of it. According to the weather it should be along later. I’m not so sure.
I’m tired, having not slept all that well, and this week seems to be low on inspiration, at least as far as blog posts go. Maybe I should have more coffee, but then we’re back to the sleeping thing
It’s a balance.
It’s funny how difficult it can be sometimes to find the images for the writing prompts. Other times, they’re just right there.
I like those weeks.
So we can all recharge our creativity this week. Or if you really miss the prompt, you can write a ten word story about anything! I’ll put the same in the tweet.
And that’s it for me today, have a great Thursday!
No ten word prompt today, it’s been a very tiring week and my brain is not up to the task. Sorry everyone who likes to participate.
But we can just hang out instead.
It’s sunny today, and quiet, more quiet than you might expect. My mom is doing better, which is also probably more than you would expect.
I’ve told you she’s tough.
Meanwhile, I feel like a dinghy with a hole in it, slowly leaking air as it’s pulled along by a huge boat it cannot control.
Life is not for wimps.
Hmm, I’m sounding more morose than I actually feel, I’m more in need of a nap than anything else. Maybe that will even happen.
I did eat hospital food this week, which could lead to a migraine and it’s possible that’s what it is, those early stages where I start feeling as though I’m made of cement. Let’s hope it’s not that.
Anyway, that’s it for me today. Have a great Thursday (and if you want to use the image as a prompt anyway, go for it!).
Here’s my #MomUpdate “Crash.” It’s been a long few days.
It’s sunny today, though, and not hot but not cold. It’s that Fall window in Chicago, the kind of time that could be the perfect Hollywood representation of the season.
And it has been, no doubt, many times.
People are still talking about the royal mess, and it seems to me that the monarchy doesn’t have long to go. Why it’s a continual trending topic for me on twitter, I have no idea.
I’m far more interested in trump’s clandestine golf course meeting yesterday, where there was a whole thicket of them in khaki pants and no golf clubs, talking about something serious.
Unpleasant substances and fans, no doubt.
Anyway, that’s it for me today. Have a great Tuesday and I will try to recharge as much as I can.
