Sometimes I scoot around in those writing prompt sites- in this case it was Plinky Prompts and as I read them I got all snarky because one involved writing about smartphone apps- and as far as I’m concerned Texting has NOTHING to do with writing  and is the death knell of the complete thought so why oh why oh why is it  A WRITING PROMPT?

But there were a couple that did get me thinking so here we go:

What was the last movie that made you cry?

Paranormal.

It made me cry because I paid five bucks  for it and I watched it from start to finish and those minutes of my life  and my five dollars are gone forever. Worse yet I still have it because I can’t in good conscious give it away because I think there is a price to be paid for doing Evil things to your fellow human beings. I count giving away that DVD away to a fellow human being as one of those things.

Do you prefer a sunrise or sunset? (Or is it all the same to you?)

As anyone who has ever written a horror story will tell you- the line that separates the sound of laughter from screaming  terror is a very  thin line – – I think the line that separates sunrise from sunsets is the same line. Okay. I don’t really think that. But, I think that  someone with a romantic soul would probably want to answer that question and if I can put the idea into their head that I just twisted this prompt from the chance it could inspire romantic prose about nature or first kisses or last kisses or doing it on the beach to people thinking about the monster that does indeed live under their bed and waits for them to get up in the middle of the night to pee so that it can eat them and leave a trail of their guts to the basement then not only will I have made my daily word count but the bonus is,  I got to have fun doing it too.

Defend your vice.

Okay. You know there are Seven Deadly Sins right? How many days of the week are there? That’s right Seven. That means that the odds are you will F#@! up because there is a dedicated sin for each day of the week. Talk about a rigged game. So in my defense, I didn’t write those rules, I didn’t check the box and I don’t agree to those terms.

You want to damn me, then know me and we’ll talk. But you better make sure your closet is skeleton free before we have that little sit down.

 

Okay.

I might not have used the Prompt as they were intended to be used- but it’s not like they come with warning labels or instructions -you know like those instructions on Pizza Boxes that say to remove the Pizza from the carton before you bake it- so I did my best.

Plus this is my blog, and you know…

I can write whatever I want on it.

Later Gators.
