Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

PROMPT: Performed

Daily writing prompt
Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?

Performed? Not yet. (Unless you count “Crowd Member Milling About [with No Lines] – #7” in an Elementary School Christmas Pageant.) Given a speech? Yes. Unless it is completely impromptu, it is nowhere near the top of my list of horrifying life events.

PROMPT: Physical Activities or Exercises

What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?

I never met a one I didn’t like.

PROMPT: Admiration

Daily writing prompt

Have intense confidence that they can achieve anything, but only when they’re not an ass about it. So, have humble confidence or cool confidence?

PROMPT: Cartoon

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite cartoon?

Currently, probably Rick & Morty. In my youth, I was Looney Tunes over Hanna Barbera, especially Roadrunner, Yosemite Sam, and Marvin the Martian.

PROMPT: Less of

Daily writing prompt
What could you do less of?

Contemplating the unknowable.

PROMPT: Positive Events

Daily writing prompt
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

PROMPT: Animals

Daily writing prompt
Do you ever see wild animals?

Sure, I just saw a bird fly past my window, and I’m fairly certain that it wasn’t domesticated.

PROMPT: Favorite Place

Daily writing prompt
Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?

Every place that I visit, while I am visiting it, is my favorite place.
