1000 Days

I was thinking that I would write up a little deal in response to the Actuate question I got this morning.  But it has to be reviewed before being posted and I can no longer access it to copy and paste here.  SO I did write, just not here.  Very much.
Initially I’d hoped to capture [...]

Working on eradicating the hobgoblin of time.  The first step is admitting it–a hundred times and doing nothing about it ever.
What’s the second step?
I guess that would be doing something about it.  And then writing a book on how to find free time when you have kids.  Which I suspect the main strategy would be [...]

It’s hard to find time some days.
I am not sitting around just ready to write.  I do always have time, but the myth of a regular time is difficult to overcome.
It takes me a while to be creative, to get a flow, to have a purpose.  That’s hard inertia to overcome.  That might be worth [...]

Cattatay turned wriggled sideways through the musky tomes.  The long aisle was brighter ahead than behind and promised a better chance to get back to her desk quicker.  Books were just meant to be held and read, but the way these tripped up her walking and scraped at her face was over much.
Managing her way [...]

A greedy seer is lost in a claustrophobic library. Her neighbor is turned into a wolf by a rogue savage. With the help of a crafty barbarian, she must keep watch alone and in the darkness in order to save her way of life.
I get a kick out of these.
If you crank out more than [...]

It’s hard to figure out how Clive Owen got billing above Paul Giamatti in “Shoot Em Up”.  The trailer made it pretty clear to me that Paul is the main character and Clive just happens to be along because ever bad guy needs a good guy to toe up to.  I think this is really [...]

We’ve added a new feature to the 1000 Days document.  It’s a day counter!  Try not to get too excited.
The weekends are catch as catch can.  I’ll try and make them less so in the future, but today wasn’t going to follow a good schedule no matter how I tried to mold it.  Today was [...]

Tempted to go without a prompt this morning, but I won’t for go it.  Instead I’ll just write what I wanted and then follow up with the prompt.
I was directed to a website containing mechanical prompt-like cards.  These are meant to stimulate creative minds in some way or another, not just to prompt writing.  It [...]

Todd wanted to know if there would be a follow up to the bottle thing from yesterday.  There will be, but not today.  I think it’s best for my training regimen that I take a new prompt daily.  Editing will be later.
What did we get today…
What things are better than going to school? Why?
I guess [...]

Wow.  Here we are in the middle of week number two.  Pardon me while I pat myself on the back…
The Fabulous Prompto:
You’re walking along the beach one cool and crisp morning when you notice something sticking out of the sand. As you get closer, you realize it’s a bottle with a message in it. You [...]
