A Plethora of Miscellaneous

If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? I wrote that title a few weeks ago and saved it in Notes, because I knew it would come in handy eventually. When seeing today’s prompt I thought it was strictly apropos (which would be a bad title for my biography). Looking backContinue reading “A Plethora of Miscellaneous”

The Future’s Passed

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? I have a lot of both paper and computer files that contain enough notes for me to use to write full time, eight hours a day, for another lifetime (at least). Sadly, I’ll never get the chance to do that unless IContinue reading “The Future’s Passed”

It Ain’t What It Used To Be…

What makes you feel nostalgic? Say the title. Then hear the rim-shot for the old joke. I read today’s prompt and thought, well, I can’t answer that. I never get nostalgic for past days. They are in the past and I generally don’t find myself getting wistful over memories (even though I do turn themContinue reading “It Ain’t What It Used To Be…”

The Empty Space; Add All Ingredients and Frappé

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like? My title today is a hidden (?) reference to Peter Brook‘s book in which he defined several types of theatre. It’s a good read even today. As for my ideal space for reading and writing, it would also have to haveContinue reading “The Empty Space; Add All Ingredients and Frappé”

Age. Learn. Repeat.

Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live? Today’s prompt asks, “Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?” And of course, I have to reply, not by answering that, but by questioning the exact meaning of said prompt. On one hand it suggests that one wouldContinue reading “Age. Learn. Repeat.”

ImPromptu

I enjoy these forays into daily writing; I feel like I’m doing something creative every day, if only for a few minutes, and I hope someone is out there actually reading these musings. Occasionally, though, I balk at the prompts. Often they spark my imagination in a way that I can talk about more thanContinue reading “ImPromptu”

Time Well Spent

What is your favorite hobby or pastime? Hobbies change over the years. I’ve often been inspired by something and then pursued it for awhile before moving on to something else. I don’t think that indicates a lack of attention span or sticktoitiveness, but rather an endless curiosity. Of course, on the downside, it does remindContinue reading “Time Well Spent”

Das Wort

What’s your favorite word? I don’t think I can choose one single word from all the languages of the world as a favorite. (Yes, I know, I don’t know every word of every language, but of the words I do know, I can’t choose one.) So, as usual, when the prompt doesn’t quite work, IContinue reading “Das Wort”

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? Once again, the prompt kicks in an earworm that will be with me the rest of the day. As for the prompt itself: I’ve become a bit cynical over the years about effecting change in the world. I spent 31Continue reading “Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes”

Those Who Don’t Want To Do Any Longer…Teach

There’s a phenomenon I’ve observed that happens frequently in the creative world. Someone gets something established, maybe a podcast, runs it for awhile, and then decides to become a consultant to help others get their offering up and running. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this. They’re using their expertise to help others, and maybe avoidContinue reading “Those Who Don’t Want To Do Any Longer…Teach”
