Topically Distracted – Judy Dykstra-Brown

I'm reblogging this because today, I got a post sent from one of these at 11pm tonight, nearly 24 hours after it was sent. I don't know what's going on with WordPress's mail, but comments are not showing up and their mail is very slow. Sometimes several days slow. I hope they get their act … Continue reading Topically Distracted – Judy Dykstra-Brown

WHY I FOLLOW THE DAILY PROMPT

I've been asked why I bother to write stuff based on WordPress's daily prompt, especially since the quality of the prompts has been more than a bit lackluster in recent months and I've needed considerable self-restraint not to snarl, growl, or try to (virtually) bite the editor. But I do them anyway and finally, I figured out why. I am an incorrigibly anal-retentive writer/editor. If … Continue reading WHY I FOLLOW THE DAILY PROMPT

FIVE DAYS OF BLOGGING – PROMPTS TO CHALLENGE YOU

There is a trend here on WordPress to give titles and themes to each day of the week, thus heralding the nature of that day's post. I'm a big fan of challenges and prompts because well, they prompt and challenge me. I thought "Gee, Marilyn, why not dip your oar in those waters." Here are five great themes … Continue reading FIVE DAYS OF BLOGGING – PROMPTS TO CHALLENGE YOU

WELCOME TO MY WORLD – WEEK 20

Share Your World – 2014 Week 20 Thank you Cee for letting me participate and coming up with cool questions :-) If you could go back and visit any time period, what time would you travel to and why?

TIME TO SHARE AGAIN – WEEK 17

Share Your World – 2014 Week 17 Time for another round of sharing. What are some words that just make you smile? Shirley or surely. Reminds me of "Airplane" and that always makes me smile. "Walk this way." A Mel Brooks classic line appearing in at least three four of his movies. Extra points if you … Continue reading TIME TO SHARE AGAIN – WEEK 17

SHARING MY WORLD – SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE

Share Your World – 2014 Week 9 Would you prefer a reading nook or an art, craft, photography studio? Photography studio! I can read anywhere, but a little studio with lights and a clean backdrop? That would be delicious. I wouldn't mind a little listening room, however, where I can play music without competing with the … Continue reading SHARING MY WORLD – SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE

A PERFECT DAY

Daily Prompt: Nothin’ But A Good Time It would take a tiny bit more than eliminating responsibilities to give me that perfect day. I'd also need some decent weather ... cool but clear. Think New England, early half of October bright with autumn leaves and just the tiniest bite in the air. Add a couple of … Continue reading A PERFECT DAY

Retrocausality: All You Zombies, Robert Heinlein

Time travel makes my brain go "eek." This is not a criticism. It's a compliment. Not many things make my brain do back flips and somersaults. Time travel is an impossible concept I cannot understand because it is inherently incomprehensible. Therefore, I love it. One story by Robert Heinlein which I read long decades ago in a compilation … Continue reading Retrocausality: All You Zombies, Robert Heinlein

Daily Prompt: Origin Story — Goal Free and Destination Unknown

I started blogging because it was Thursday or Tuesday ... or maybe Monday and I didn't have any reason not to. I didn't have anything specific in mind and I had no plans. I felt like writing and since I've always been a professional writer, I couldn't see much point in writing if no one … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Origin Story — Goal Free and Destination Unknown
