Tag: Daily Writing prompts

Friday Photo Flashback

I always enjoy a good "writing prompt" and have used them on occasion to write when I struggle for an idea. With the features I have going now, I tend to overlook them. I suppose I should jot down the good ones and save them for later. One of the bloggers I follow recently answered … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

As Lady Gaga Says

A daily writing prompt that I often see says, "What was the most memorable part of your day?" or "What made you smile today?" The answer to both of those questions is what follows.

Daily Writing Prompt

I don't do these often. You can thank my co-worker for this blog. The WordPress prompt reads: If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? I asked her this question and she was unsure about her own. For me, however, she said mine should be called "He's Not That Big of an A#&hole Anymore!" … Continue reading Daily Writing Prompt →

Friday Photo Flashback

This is a "feature" I started a couple weeks ago with a Daily Writing Prompt. It's been fun to find a photo to write about each week. This week's gem comes from way back! Yes, that is me! I'm going to guess I am about a year old in the picture. I don't have a … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Prompt: Nighttime Rituals

A few of the blogs I follow posted this yesterday. I guess there is a Throwback Thursday prompt each week by a couple sites I cannot remember off the top of my head. I thought this was a very neat set of questions to think back on and answer. After I publish this, I will … Continue reading Prompt: Nighttime Rituals →

One Photograph – Your Memories

So, today, I have opted to go to the Daily Writing Prompts to find my blog topic. Today's Prompt: "One Photograph … Continue reading One Photograph – Your Memories →

Cast the Movie of Your Life

The Word Press App on my phone will offer a daily writing prompt to bloggers. I subscribe to a few "prompt" emails and such, and they can certainly be thought starters. Today's prompt was one I had considered before and I may have even been asked a similar question by a Facebook friend. The prompt: … Continue reading Cast the Movie of Your Life →

Holy 500!

I was notified by Word Press that this blog hit a milestone!! Had I been paying attention, I would have made Blog #500 something a bit more special. Instead, my last blog (#500) was about how tired I am! Reflecting As I sat down to write Blog #501, I thought on how far this blog … Continue reading Holy 500! →

Recipe – Hot Taco Dip

I'm not one that will sit here and post a weekly recipe. As a matter of fact, the only recipe I posted was for Waikiki Meatballs in a blog about my mom. Yet, here we are. Today's blog stems from the following Daily Writing Prompt: Do you have a favorite recipe from your childhood that … Continue reading Recipe – Hot Taco Dip →

My “Go to” Karaoke Song(s)

It has been some time since a "Daily Writing Prompt" moved me enough to use it as a blog idea. Today's though, was definitely one I could use. The Prompt? "What is your 'go to' karaoke song?" I have to admit, I have sung a lot of karaoke. I did this mainly when I was … Continue reading My “Go to” Karaoke Song(s) →
