Day 14 - Write about food.

I have to thank my mother for the fact that we didn’t grow up eating TV dinners or any other frozen dinners all the time. My mother liked to cook, and we always had good meals. Not to say that we didn’t eat hot dogs and beans or frozen fish sticks - we did, but it wasn’t an everyday occurrence. As a kid, I definitely took ( Read more... )

Day 13 - Tell us about your day. [Though there are mentions of Battlestar Galactica in this post, I am pretty sure I didn't spoil anything.]

Someone looking in on me last night would have seen me in a crying mess on my couch with a box of tissues. This is not a general occurrence, and generally I would not say that such a display of emotions was a ( Read more... )

Day 10 - Write about writing.

I have a love / hate relationship with writing. I always liked to write, and I even spent a whole summer writing a Star Trek story with my brother. But I hate the fact that it has recently felt impossible to get anything written down. So far, this challenge has showed me that though I may not be any good at it, it is ( Read more... )

About 3 months ago, I decided to graduate from my Beta bowl to a regular fish tank. I got a 10 gallon tank kit at the local pet store and it has been a wonderful experience since. I did a lot of research and talked on the phone with my mother (who has had tanks for a while) a lot as I got ready. Since then, there has been some trial and error, but ( Read more... )

For Day 8, I am supposed to make a list. I am thinking of finding a new apartment to rent. Right now, most of what I am using belongs to my roommate, so there are several things that I would need (or would like to) buy to make the new place really me.

Couch. I have one cat who has pretty much shredded the couch that I have. It is embarrassing to ( Read more... )

Day 7 - Write a letter to your younger self.

Take school more seriously. I think most adult tell young people this, but as kids you just don’t want to listen to what the old people say. Well, they were telling the truth. Sure, you are pretty smart and things come easily for you, but when you get older you are really going to wish you had paid more ( Read more... )

The prompt for Day 6 is to tell someone else’s story in some way.  A little disclaimer on the entry that follows: I feel that this entry is a bit of a cheat, but I found it very useful for me. If you are a fan of Sanctuary, you will no doubt picked up on what I am writing about. For those of you who have never seen the SyFy show Sanctuary, I didn’t ( Read more... )

Well, Day 5 is here and I am supposed to write about the most important day of my life. I really haven’t had too many things happen to me. Though I have graduated from high school and college, they weren’t really that exciting. I haven’t gotten married or had kids. I don’t play sports. So, I don’t know if this is necessarily the most important day ( Read more... )

Day 4 is about free-writing. This is definitely something that I need to work on. I know how to do it, but I have a hard time applying it. So what is free-writing? It is when you just write. You don’t stop to fix spelling or punctuation. You don’t go back to edit a thought. If you have a thought that should go two sentences back, just write it ( Read more... )
