If you’ve noticed, I haven’t been writing much lately….I’ve been busy, it’s been summer and there’s other things to do, other commitments to keep. I usually write when something odd or quirky happens in my daily life or I feel inspired by something I’ve seen.
I do have some exciting news to announce in the next couple of weeks. One of my stories that I wrote last year is going to be published in a book….that’s right a book. The book will go on sale at the end of September so I can’t officially say what it is, but check this space for future announcements. Just think, someday someone might be reading my story in the bathroom or they might buy that book at Goodwill for a $1……it’s all very exciting.
So I have definitely been thinking about writing more….the excitement of being published and the fact that I do find enjoyment in writing, it’s my one creative outlet, but finding subjects to write about and create stories about can be difficult.
This wonderful website that I have my blog on offers daily writing prompts as a way to inspire the creative minds of writers. I’ve noticed them but I’ve never used one to start a blog post, but I’ve decided as a way to get back to writing that I will occasionally commit to writing using their daily prompts. It certainly won’t be everyday but hopefully more than once a week so here we go…….
What is a word you would like to banish from your daily vocabulary ?
What….this is the writing prompt for today….oh for gods sake maybe I’ll start tomorrow…….
No, no, no…..I’m here at the keyboard so I’ve gotten this far and I actually do have an answer for this……….MORON
Oh I long for the day I never have to utter the word Moron. I must say this word out loud or just loud enough for myself to hear a handful of times each day. A co-worker who annoys me or isn’t pulling his weight, the person ahead of me at a red-light who hasn’t noticed it’s turned green because they’re on their phone, the customer service person on the phone who I’m finally talking to after 5 minutes of working my way through their automated introduction, and then that customer service person can’t actually solve my problem and passes me onto someone else, not to mention the people who dreamed up this idea of the automated system of customer service and the CEO’s who approved it…..Morons….all of them.
I know, it’s a bit harsh, and I should be more patient and some of them mean well and probably are good people, but for the brief encounter I had with them there is only one description…..Moron.
If I could eliminate dealing with Morons throughout the day, each day would be blissful and serene….
There you go, short, sweet and to the point…..daily writing complete
Peace and Love
