Daily Writing Prompt, in which I barely had to write a thing.
You get one guess, folks.

WordPress prompt. Also, another video on another auspicious day.
I know my instinct was to turn that gourd above into a hand-carved object of terror. See? My instincts were correct! It could not have been any other way! I haven’t done a writing prompt in ages, but figured that today might be a good day to tackle one; I’m ultra-busy with other tasks, but…

WordPress Writing Prompt, Which I Haven’t Done For A While
Finishing what I started. Reading stuff I wrote a while ago and discovering that it’s not bad at all. It’s a craft that doesn’t depend on one’s looks, age, physical health, or even mental health; some of the most cuckoo people I know are fairly decent writers, and some of the sanest people I know…

COVID Hellscape
On a plane in 2022, where I could sit a couple of inches from someone in a sealed tube way up in the sky during a supposedly horror-movie-like sweeping pandemic. That flimsy, dirty mask would allegedly save my life, though. The COVID-19 pandemic didn’t affect me as profoundly as it did other people; I never…

Daily Prompt: This one’s too easy
I live in downtown Vancouver: what do you think? There are massive differences between people who have a medical issue such as drug and alcohol addiction and are in desperate need of treatment and rehabilitation (resources are scarce and overburdened here, in fact, enabling addiction appears to be the treatment); a person with legitimate mental-health…

Daily prompt: Decisions
I can’t answer this, because I haven’t had to make a hard decision. I am a decisive person, and when I make up my mind about something, that is that. Getting rid of poisonous friends in my life, dumping terrible partners, quitting a horrendous job, eliminating certain things from my diet, writing detailed or direct…

Daily prompt (that I don’t tackle daily).
As you can see by the header pic, I’m currently reading a book called “The Game of Life and How to Play It.” I heard about it several months ago–I can’t remember where or how–and, intrigued, I decided to place a hold on it at the Vancouver Public Library. Surprisingly, there were about 8 people…

Do you mean this week, month, or in general?
I have no idea how anybody could answer this one and claim the same album from, say, 10 years ago, or even five. Actually, no, scratch that: I’ve known some folks who are almost autistically fixated on the same band/artist that they liked as children and have clung fast to them for decades. To each…

My favourite (yes, with a u) word?
It’s two words, actually: vigilante justice.

You mean, this precise moment?
Well, WordPress bot, I guess I should answer this immediately, because my feelings might change after I quaff this big home-brewed iced coffee. And I am pleased you didn’t ask me, “What are you thinking right now?” That wouldn’t be appropriate, and my thoughts would have changed by time I finished typing the sentence. Right…
