Writer's Workshop: Uninspired

Could it be that I am uninspired by my own inspirational prompts?? Why yes. It could be. Could it be that it's midnight and I just got home from Alecia's house and I'm trying to crank something out because God forbid I MISS a workshop day?? Why yes. It could be.

So I'm going to do what some of you do and just answer each of them short and sweet.

1.) If you could cut back on something in your life that takes up your time what would it be? And what would you prefer to spend that time doing?

I would cut back on anything I spend my time doing between the hours of 11pm and 7am and I would instead spend said time sleeping. In all honesty I feel pretty good about my time. I spend all day with the kids so I don't feel too terribly guilty when I shoo them away while I'm blogging. I guess I could spend more time cleaning...but....that's not fun. And I only do things that are fun. That's right. I'm a giant child. You all saw the Ellen letter.

2.) Share a recent adventure you had with a friend.
Pass.

3.) Describe a memorable gift. Why was it important to you?

I don't have a most memorable gift...I think people should give me more things. Next week we will have a contest to see who can give me the most memorable gift. The winner will get a plate of gluten free cookies.

4.) If you could change career paths now and be anything you wanted to be...what would you be and why?

I have a friend who is a labor and delivery nurse and...aside from the blood and fluid and vagina's involved, I think the handing a tiny baby to it's exhausted mother sounds like a lot of fun!

5.) 45 Word Obituary:

We were blessed. If only she could have lived forever. Timeless. Like her beauty. She made us laugh with her quick wit...she charmed us with her easy smile...she enchanted us with her thoughtful thoughts...damn we're really gonna miss her. So what's for dinner???

Now it's your turn.

5.) Kim's email:

In the St. Louis News-Dispatch paper, they had an article of a man who wrote his own obituary before his death, and gave it to his sister to post when he died. He summed life up in 45 words:

(Click here to read his words).

I know it's a morbid subject, but what about a prompt about what would one's obit say, with a word limit. You could stipulate that everyone died at 100, so we'd all be predicting what our future would be like.


So there you have it. Sum up life in 45 words. :) Happy happy.
