Each winter, I work very hard to dig myself out of Alice's hole. I think it is a combination of things, and I have learned how to come to my rescue. Painting, reading and writing, and upping the meds! Cold weather is The Devil, and The Mad Hatter sits very near me! I just do not like January, there I said it! I think if I went from December to February, it would be much different. Who knows, but hope reigns. February is near, so today, love is in the air.
My love of David Bowie is remembered this day. He has continued on a different journey, and promised us it would never be boring. Thrilled to have seen him, and appreciated his unique being on this planet. ( Normally this may have taken me to the bed, but its almost February! Iam good!)
Made several doctors appointments for February and March, and just writing dates and times, in those months, put a little twerk in my step. ( Thank you MP for my Outlander calendar, I tear off the good day pictures and keep them in my purse! A girl never knows when she needs to see The Laird of Lollybroch!)
I had no blog in mind, but I wanted to write, so I remembered this book that my son Hart and DIL Nicole gave me for Christmas. 642 Things To Write About by San Francisco Writers Grotto. It is a must book for all people. Hidden Potential, you never know what can happen in a single day, write something. Can we direct our story or does the story direct us, something to think about. I feel lucky to live my life, so full of stories, seldom do I need a prompt, but I sure like one when I see it! and it stokes my fire.
I will just copy some of the writing prompts for you to ponder, remember there are 642!
What can happen in a second...
The smell of a place that you love..
The last time you changed your mind about something important..
Your worst experience in gym class...
Five things you see out the nearest window...
A physical description of an eccentric relative....
Wisdom you learned from your child...
A beginners guide to getting up in the morning...
What is public and private? What do these terms mean now?
Five years from now, what will you be worrying about....
A scene that takes place in extreme heat...
The snappy reply you never were able to make.....
Ode to an onion.....
Make up a new Peanuts character...
The lists, ideas are amazing, thought provoking, fun and scary. 642 different things to write about, and some are a whole page, and others a small little box for you to fill. Some may require one word or an epistle, after all you are the writer. Its your story, your journey, your song....
Just Write.....
