I am a thief of prompts and a vampire of creative energy

“So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains.”
~ Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go!

In response to tah2o after quoting Seuss: Or just fall off a cliff. When I lost everything and was homeless-heavy (2 years) and homeless-lite (2 years) it meant a Great Adjustment. But... here I am in Taiwan. I've become a traveler. So... the places I have been, the places I will go...

For those concerned about my travel in Taiwan: I'm monitoring the situation daily. There are more positive cases in Germany than here and Japan now has quite a few. China is really hurting. However, I'm not in China! As for me ... I'm sure the Taiwanese government would take care of me. If I get ill I have to report immediately ... it's against the law to hide this illness. So far there are no random cases here in Taiwan. There has been a recent evacuation from Wuhan but, between mandatory screening and quarantine, no one is hysterical.

I'm an emotional-vampire as well as an emotional vampire (hyphens matter). I glean the energy in the room. I steal ideas. I'm also a Vulch.

This really helps with writing. I can't think up everything and since most everything has been written about (Romeo and Juliet is an ancient theme) I can only weave my words and experiences into the tapestry of my life and writing. All real-life is fiction anyways.

So yes, I will steal your prompts. Might even remember to give you credit, but the words will be mine.
