Writing Prompt #98

It’s Thanksgiving here in the States; a holiday with a troubling beginning, but one that has evolved into a day we share stories of how grateful we are, eat lots of food, fall asleep in front of the television, generally fight with family, and prepare to kill one another for the best deal at “the store of your choosing”.

Good times. 😉

If you’re stuck in traffic or trying to avoid the drama, let me share my gratitude that you have decided to spend a little time with me.  It’s nice and quiet here, right?

I’ve been drawn to this image for some time, and thought, why not share it today?!  It’s not holiday inspired, so you may enjoy that.

A couple of bloggers have taken up the Writing Prompt Challenge, and I look forward to sharing their work with you!  Keep an eye out for that.

I hope you are all well and enjoy a safe holiday season!  Happy Writing!

xx, Rach

Writing Prompt #97 – For a Special Occasion

Today one of my dearest friends is getting married.  In honor of her, and the happily ever after she has found (and deserves), I dedicate today’s Writing Prompt to her, my Jillybean.

Quote of the Week

It’s Election Day here in the U.S. – a currently frightening event given the circumstances.  A great deal hangs in the balance as we await the results.  I did my part by early voting, but today I think we, Americans, need a little (or a lot) of positivity.

Let’s hope and work toward a better tomorrow!

Wishing you all the very best!

Writing Prompt #96

I know, I know, I keep saying it, but I still haven’t done it…I am going to write some flash fiction!  I swear!  😉  Besides, I have a fellow blogger’s amazing work to share as well.  I can’t let that go unnoticed.

Wanna join me in this week’s Writing Prompt Challenge?

I look forward to reading your creations!  Happy Writing!

Quote of the Week

I apologize that I haven’t really had anything to say or share.  I’m still in escape-limbo mode.

Actually, I’m trying to figure out what to do with myself.  As many of you know, The Sis and I move, a lot.  I feel perpetually antsy.  I long to find a place to settle down, somewhere that feels like home, and so in the interim, I’m finding it hard to make a whole lot of progress in any direction.

There are things I want to do, but if we’re not going to be here much longer, I’m not sure how much to commit.  I mean, why put in energy to something you might not finish?  Right?

Huh.  The things that happen when you become an adult.

And a lot of this comes down to my financial situation.  When you can barely make ends meet, it leaves a lot of feelings of resentment that you’ve somehow allowed yourself to get in this situation in the first place.  It’s a vicious cycle.

So, while I mull over my current predicament, I need to find a boost to my mental well-being.Pic Jointer (11).png

I don’t like to vent here, but if you have any words of encouragement or wisdom, please send them my way!

Hoping you all have a wonderful week!

Writing Prompt #95

I’ve been a bad blogger…relying on easy posts, like this one. 😉

I finished the recent chapter of Dragon Age fanfic I was working on, so now maybe I can move onto something else.  I have lots of things pending, so it would be good if I could get that out of my system, at least for the time being.

Perhaps I could try writing a few flash fiction pieces?  Let’s give that a try.  Wanna join me?

shallwe

Happy Writing!

Quote Monday

I’ve been in a state of avoidance.  Finding consolation in escapism.  And the only person that affects, the only person that suffers, is me.

I don’t know why exactly either.  Actually, I have a couple of theories.  Regardless, it’s about doing what you can with what you have in the hopes that you can keep moving forward.

Here’s to starting off the new week on the right track!  Wishing you all the best!

 

Writing Prompt #94

It’s Friday again?!  My life is flashing by…gracious, I better start making better use of my down time!

I honestly planned on posting this Wednesday, when I was supposed to, but it was the first day in nearly two weeks I had the house all to myself, so you can imagine what I did.  Yep, I gamed, for like six hours, and I do not feel guilty about it, except now that I realize it’s Friday…again.

Sheesh.

I saw this week’s image and knew right away it was the one I wanted to share with you.  I was drawn to it immediately.

How about you?  Feeling inspired?

Happy Writing!
