PROMPT: Dream Home

Daily writing prompt
Write about your dream home.

Regularly teleports to new and interesting places. Ideally, compact from the outside but comfortable inside. So, I guess a TARDIS would be my dream home.

PROMPT: News

Daily writing prompt
You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

Seek a second and third independent source. The News is increasingly unreliable.

PROMPT: Lost Interest

Daily writing prompt
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

I used to play with blocks and Lincoln Logs, but as I was not interested in majoring in Architecture, there was no way to respectably continue the activity.

PROMPT: Candy

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite candy?

Chocolate covered nut.

PROMPT: A Break

Daily writing prompt
Do you need a break? From what?

Yes. The manipulation. Attention merchants selling space in our heads to AI-powered rage bait creators for a magical misdirect on a scale never before seen. While people are pointing fingers of outrage, the last thin dime is being pried out of their pockets to fuel wildly depraved existences, and the robbed are left to wonder how the people they were pointing at — who they had their eyes on the entire time — managed to pull off a pickpocket.

PROMPT: Invention

Daily writing prompt
The most important invention in your lifetime is…

Velcro and Sticky Notes! We knew how to fasten things, but before then we couldn’t fasten things in a half-assed fashion. As Laozi says in the Daodejing [Ch. 40,] “Returning is the movement of Tao; yielding is the way of Tao.” So, to be able to stick and unstick at will is the highest virtue under heaven.

[NOTE: Technically, research indicates both inventions predate me, but I don’t believe ether became popular for household consumer use until my lifetime.]

PROMPT: Ideal Day

Daily writing prompt
Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

I wake up. I don’t die. I go to sleep.

PROMPT: Perspective on Life

Daily writing prompt
How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

Becoming less afraid of death makes one bolder, but being more prone to stay injured for extended periods makes one more cautious. Maybe it all just equals out.

PROMPT: To-Do List
