Daily writing prompt
If you had to describe your ideal life, what would it look like?
The implication being that I’m not living it? I’m outraged. Desire for things to be what they aren’t is the mother of all suffering.

PROMPT: Mystery
What should I do?
Does anything matter? If so, how so? If not… just, why?
In short, are all the noble lies we tell more noble than lie?

PROMPT: Moment
Daily writing prompt
What’s a moment you wish you could freeze and live in forever?
This sounds to me like a recipe for how to turn a great moment into Hell. Nothing special survives its moment. I’m with the Buddhists on impermanence — i.e. Everything is impermanent, (and the desire for things to be what they are not is the root of all suffering.)

PROMPT: Camping
Many times. Of course, one could argue that living in a house is just camping in a sturdy tent with a lot of gadgets.

PROMPT: Productive
Generally, I feel most productive when I’m in the act of producing something, but I have had some measure of success in tricking myself into feeling productive when I’m actually goofing off at high intensity.

PROMPT: Emojis
I use my own system of criticism that inverts the usual scale, meaning that getting a zero (turds) is quite good (and increasingly rare,) and — unlike stars — if you ever reach a five-turd rating you are truly the worst. It saves time in conveying my thoughts on all sorts of things.

PROMPT: Risk
When is the last time you took a risk? Getting out of bed. (Every action or enacted decision generates some risk.)
How did it work out? I’m still alive, but the day is still young.

PROMPT: Stranger
Daily writing prompt
Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.
I once hitched a ride and was not murdered. [I hope it goes without saying that neither did I murder the person who gave me a ride. If it does not, I did not.]

PROMPT: 10 Years
Ask me in ten years.
Funny thing about time, I won’t be able to see myself in ten years for ten years.
It’s a river I’ve never run before. How could I possibly know where it goes?

PROMPT: Morning Rituals
Daily writing prompt
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
Well, I poop… How much detail are you looking for here?
