PROMPT: Instantly

Daily writing prompt
If you could instantly master any skill, what would it be and why?

PROMPT: Mystery

Daily writing prompt

Playfully. Followed by enthusiastically, and – finally – naked.

PROMPT: Free

Daily writing prompt
What job would you do for free?

Operating a car crusher seems like it would be satisfying. Any activity that goes with the flow of increasing entropy would be a nice change. Most human endeavor feels Sisypheanly futile.

Well, I poop… How much detail are you looking for here?

Reading, walking, writing, swimming, thinking, and epic rap battles. You’ve only got one shot…

PROMPT: Spree

Daily writing prompt
Where would you go on a shopping spree?

PROMPT: Failure

Daily writing prompt
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

In juggling one must fail a million times to have any hope.

PROMPT: Biggest Challenge

Daily writing prompt
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

I certainly have my ideas, but I’m not going to jinx it or create a self-fulfilling prophecy on the matter. Sometimes the easy is hard and the hard comes easy, and — above all — people suck at making predictions (except in the case of self-fulfilling prophesies.)
