Typos as Prompts
Do your typos act as prompts? Mine might do, although I never follow up on them.

I tend to rush my typing sometimes, and on flows my typos. I don’t know why my fingers don’t obey my brain, but I guess they, too, have their own way of thinking. Surely, I go back and fix them, but with each typo, a light bulb flashes inside my brain, making me laugh.

If I had the time, I’d come up with at least a small narrative for each booboo. Sometimes I unite the meaning of the word with the typo and a totally different idea emerges. Like the first one on the following list: public pub lice

Here are a few of my typos (I can’t believe I made) that may have been prompts.
* I separated them for meaning. Usually they are without the space in between their parts.

Pub lice *Right* public
thing king *Right* thinking
prod duction *Right* production
Ache ever *Right* achiever
sop oiled *Right* spoiled
surly *Right* surely
hum man *Right* human
come mented *Right* commented
rec check *Right* recheck
rot ration *Right* rotation
rock king chair *Right* rocking chair
imp lament *Right* implement
in flue nice *Right* influence
poll it tics *Right* politics

If you’re into prompts, I guess anything serves. *Laugh*
