Daily writing prompt
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?
“And that’s how you do that!”
(I’m told that in medias res is the ideal narrative approach for memoirs.)

PROMPT: Couldn’t Live Without
Digestible non-toxic protein, digestible non-toxic fats, and digestible non-toxic carbohydrates.
Also, water and air, but they are non-commoditized (to a large extent, anyhow.)
Also, certain vitamins and minerals, but they would be subsumed in a good mix of the aforementioned three.

PROMPT: Grow
The ones involving eating. They provided the necessary nutrients.

PROMPT: Fate/Destiny
I don’t believe. I don’t disbelieve. I have insufficient data on which to draw a conclusion.

PROMPT: Phase in Life
Daily writing prompt
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.
At least some part of me is always ready to move on.
However, I am missing the phase of human development in which the preponderance of social change advanced the Enlightenment values of tolerance, democratic governance, and rule of law.

PROMPT: For a Day
Daily writing prompt
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?
Any successful standup comic. To gain a practical understanding of the downside and the struggle.
I wouldn’t care to be a billionaire because it would be just my luck that it’d be the day people wised up and the revolt began, and I could say the same thing with respect to world leaders.

PROMPT: Ambitious DIY
Trying to get squirrels out of the attic. They did me like Macaulay Culkin / Kevin McCallister in Home Alone. Ultimately, had to call experts (pest control, not hitmen,) and they made short work of it.

PROMPT: Ban
Daily writing prompt
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
I would replace all adverbs with a loud “HONK!”
Why do I do anything, because I think it would be funny. [Granted, only for a short time.]

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.)

PROMPT: Teenage Self
Be your authentic self.
And stop touching yourself so much.
But the first advice wouldn’t be understood, and the second would be ignored, so I’m not sure that it would be a productive undertaking.
