"November 2, 2018" Prompt:"You are home alone when a young monster knocks on your door saying “Hey, can I borrow you? I need to bring something cool for show-and-tell.” Have fun" I am scarier than the monster so I go along. We walk into the classroom and the young monsters go running and screaming for their mothers. It is a sad sight to see. The poor little things are scared senseless! Prompt: "Write a blog entry that starts and ends with the words "The rain wasn't all bad" "The rain wasn't all bad," the preacher said. "God sent the rain for a reason. He knows what He is doing. Just trust Him and know that the rain isn't all bad. Hard times help us grow into better people. God uses testing to refine us. So when the rain falls in your life remember that the rain isn't all bad." |
"November 1, 2018" "Prompt: The Elephant In The Room. What was your elephant in the room and how did you resolve it?" I had two elephants in my room during my lifetime. The first was my father's alcoholism. Nobody ever called him and alcoholic though he clearly was. Nobody ever discussed his behavior or held his feet to the fire over what he had done. You just didn't talk about it. It ended when I got married and he lost my income to drink on. The second elephant was my own addiction soon afterwards. Again nobody brought it up. My wife finally had enough and divorced me. I used into my second marriage and used for the last time on February 8, 2009. I entered treatment on February 9, 2009 and have not used since. Prompt: "61 days left in this year, can you believe it? Have you accomplished your writing goals for this year? Are you thinking about next years writing goals? Do you find it helpful to set long term goals, short term goals or defined weekly goals to keep you motivated writing?" I didn't set any writing goals this year except to market the books I have written. The publisher ripped me off and I have been struggling ever since. I'm changing careers soon though. I'll be counseling. |
