PORCH PONDERINGS

Goodbye, for Now

PROMPT March 30th

Congratulations on making it to the last day of the competition! What was your favorite prompt from the last month? What was the most rewarding aspect of participating in the competition?


What fun it was to learn a little more about all the participants. I now know where some of you live, where some of you work. I know that few of us like practical jokes, and few of us had vacations as children. Isn’t that curious?

I don’t think I had a favorite prompt. They were all interesting. The two food prompts were fun. But then the one about words was also unusual. I usually downloaded them to my Mac the night they were posted. Then I worked on the prompt the next day to post the next night.

I tried to post comments to every post. So I apologize if I didn’t get to everyone. I tried. I really did.

The most rewarding aspect of the competition was pushing myself to complete something. Every day. Every day had a deadline. And since I don’t have a ‘real’ job anymore, that seemed like a job. It gave me a purpose. Especially during this crazy mixed up abnormal period of history, we need a reason to get up in the morning and do something. Anything.
