Life's Funny That Way

by Beck Firing back up!

Rated: ASR · Book · Experience · #1486637

This blog is a wide variety of things. Most titles are prompts I have followed.

This journal is a wide collection of things. Some of it is just a free flow of thoughts. Some of it is from Earl's 31-Day Challenge a long time ago. The rest is from given writing prompts that I have found around the Net from various groups to which I belong. It's not often that I rant about life in general, but you will find some of that here as well. Things here are mostly prompts I have followed. Maybe you will find a prompt that inspires you.

Welcome to my blog!

In response to "A day for everything"

Awesome! I use the list as a marketing tool for my business, too, but I found it also had a lot of things that might spark a creative gem - you just never know!

Wordsmitty sent me here. I read all the entries to the 30 day blog challenge this November... over 400 of them. One of the recurring problems is the prompts. Since 30dbc is postponed till March I might do mini-challenges in January. I'll go look at that list.

In response to "Maroon 5 Memories Community Challenge"

I really love the song too. Be glad you have these memories. I live alone... and all that implies.

Thank goodness for home entertainment during those long drawn out cold wintry evenings.

I'm ecstatic about the lengthening daylight hours. Now if the weather would just finally warm.

We are still looking at six foot snowbanks. And the nippy north wind just won't stop blowing.

Man is be years since I've been fishing, I miss it though I've never be in a tournament. That's make me nervous as well! Great job facing your anxieties about it though!

In response to "Turning the corner"

It's boosts in confidence like you described that lead to all of the sudden "having more time" as well! Congrats on having a publisher ask for a manuscript!

The last sentence is something we all need to be reminded of from time to time.

In response to "Rixy, you will be missed!"

Looks like its been a while since you've been to blog city. I remember well the day the news of Rixy's passing hit WDC.

It happened in the midst of one of my New Horizon courses. I believe her passing left more than a few holes around the website.

I didn't have the opportunity to get to know her personally, but I benefited from her articles on writing. She made the learning process enjoyable.

I just dropped in to let you know I'm your new neighbor in blog city.

Hope all is well with you.

Mia

Would love to have you stop by my blog "Invalid Item"

very thankful

I miss Rixy too. She was my instructor last winter for the punctuation class, so I did get to know her a little bit.

In response to "Rixy, you will be missed!"

Beck,
It sounds like Rixy was a great encouragement to you and your dreams. What I remember most is her sense of humor. She would come into my Comma Sense forum and make us laugh with her grammar comments. Never forget her words of encouragement to you. She still lives on in our memories.

National Whipping Cream Day

How can National Whipping Cream Day spur creativity? I thought about that for a moment and it came to me - anyone who has actually made their own whipping cream knows: you take a liquid and whip it into an airy, fluffy mass of deliciousness. National Whipping Cream Day is about making something out of something else. And that is kind of a big deal.
We start a story with a character (the liquid heavy whipping cream) and the character goes through changes in our story, eventually coming out on the other side changed somehow (as actual whipped cream). In every story the main character wants something. There is something or someone blocking what the character wants, or thinks they want. In order to get that thing, then, they must overcome or defeat whatever is in the way. Doing so will change them somehow. It has to change them. That is what the story is about. It is about how our characters change as they go through whatever it is they must go through to get, or not get, what they want.
That said, I cannot be responsible for unfinished baking if someone happens to get a some sort of creative inspiration while watching the mixer whip some whipping cream
