Blogging/Writing Prompts & Challenges. This includes those I’ve participated in and/or responded to, as well as any I may proffer and/or host. 🙃
This one is easy, except there are two languages I wish I could speak fluently: Spanish and ASL (American Sign Language). Despite taking two years of Spanish in high school, I never made it to fluency levels. Part of that was lack of opportunity to use it regularly. I think that’s one of the most important things to do when trying to learn another language. At this point, I can remember a...
That would probably be my entire “On Repeat” playlist. The past several years have been rough and I’ve been working my way through a lot of stuff: a break up, trying to learn more about myself, rediscovering who I am beyond being a mother…. I’ve always loved songs with relatable lyrics and if they are in anyway empowering, that’s also a big plus. The topmost...
I’m an “Acts of Service” gal, I think. At least that’s who I’ve been for most of my life. I show love by caring about the people I love, doing things for them to (hopefully) make their lives easier and happier. I’ve always been a caretaker, I guess. Part of that has (historically) always been cooking and/or baking. Tweaking recipes to suit their preferences...
One? Oy vey! This is a definitely a prompt that has the potential to get real deep, real fast. I’m going to try to avoid falling into that pit, simply because I’m not sure I have the time today to spiral out of control. At pretty much any given point in time, I’m telling myself at least a half dozen lies. This is especially true because of my anxiety disorders (and owing in part...
Yay! I did it! I got all caught up! This post marks my final Bloganuary Catch Up post. The next Bloganuary prompt I respond to will finally be right on time and all by its lonesome! 🎉 I hope it doesn’t get lonely without a little buddy post… Day Twenty-One: Who is your favorite author and why? There are so, so many talented and fabulous authors out there that I enjoy reading, but I...
Day Nineteen: What color describes your personality and why? Oh, wow! I have no idea. Gray maybe? As in, millions of different shades of? I really don’t know. My favorite color though is purple, specifically a kind of dark, dusty, grayish plummy purple (and shades similar to it) like I have featured on my blog! 😉 Day Twenty: What irritates you about the home you live in? The layout. Okay...
Day Seventeen: Describe the happiest day of your life. There isn’t a single “happiest” day of my life, but in the spirit of Bloganuary I will share one of the happiest days of my life: the day I finally finished my degree. The road to my degree was a long and twisty one. It didn’t begin the fall after high school graduation. It was supposed to, but I ended up giving up my...
Day Fifteen: What fear have you conquered? Well, I’m attempting to conquer my fear of sharing my writing by committing to this blog. These Bloganuary questions are helping nudge me along, letting me get a little more comfortable, and definitely helping to establish a more consistent writing habit. Not really sure they are doing much for my general confidence levels yet, but I’m going...
Day Thirteen: If you had a billion US dollars, how would you spend it? Okay, so… a billion dollars is more money than I realistically think I would know what to do with! First, I’d probably pay off my kids’ mortgages and any student and/or vehicle loans they may be carrying at the time. If they didn’t each have a home of their own yet, I’d help them get one. Moderate...
Day Eleven: How do you define success? Success can be many things to many people, and what one defines as successful is not necessarily the same as what another may believe it is. I guess that’s why this Bloganuary question works. I’m not super into materialistic things and have a bit of a disdain for the capitalistic society we’re living in. Success for me is pretty basic. I...
Oh, no! Biographical info? Uhhh... gimme a few minutes to think on it...
