Post Prompts I

I googled blog post prompts just for fun and found a website with a whole bunch.  Rather than writing whole posts on some of the topics, I decided to do interview style responses.

  • Write about the first time you broke the law.

  • When I was 4, stole a handful of grass seed from a store. Felt awful but never admitted to it untill way later. They knew I was lying but never prosecuted (is it even possible to prosecute a 4 year old?).  I discarded the evidence onto their lawn as soon as I got out of the store (I guess that was sort of smart).  Why grass seed? Good question. 

  • Your favorite vacation spot or place that you've traveled to.

  • An Island in Malaysia called Redang. Everything about that place looked like those tropical photos you secretly doubt the existence of.  Straight up B-E-A-U-tiful.

  • Write about the passing of a loved one.

  • My Grandma died 2 years ago on the 4th of July (ironic, don't you think?).  For me, the whole experience was like this doorway into deeper things. I really can't completely explain, at least not just with words on a (web) page.

  • Write about coffee cups you have owned.

  • I personally have owned 1 - the kind you can put your own pictures in the side of.  Got it as a graduation present from one of my teachers.

  • Write about how you might feel if you were homeless.

  • A lot more free in some ways, but also a lot less free in others.  For a while though I've been wanting  to try it for a few days sometime (when it's warm out). 

  • Write a mission statement.

  • See About Me

  • Write about the top search engine keywords that bring people to your blog.

  • Probably Wounded with Love. I think people are looking for the song lyrics and chords to an IHOP song and when they search google, my blog comes up.  I can basically tell you every time they sing it in the prayer room because my blog stats spike at the same time.  It almost feels like a deceptive trick to get traffic to your site but I had no idea it would happen when I wrote the post.
  • Discuss a recent home improvement project.

  • Cleaned my room and took down a twilight poster and replaced it with art I got for free (what what!) at a garage sale.

  • Write a photo essay.

  • See Pictures label

  • I'll never...

  • Buy underwear from Goodwill.

  • Ask your readers to take action on an issue you care about.

  • Vote. Not just in elections. In pageviews. In what kind of companies you choose to send your dollar ballot to.
    Be intentional about your life. In ideas that you esteem highly or simply cannot tolerate. In what you feed your body with. In what you feed your mind with. In what you feed your spirit with. In what you tell others, with or without words.

  • Write about what could have happened if you had made that terrible mistake.

  • I could be a huge trainwreck right now. I could not even be here right now. I could not have any of the friends I have. I could not be in a town I like. I could be utterly desolate. I could be somebody else's slave. I could be waay more confused than I am. I could hate my life. But, for the grace of God, there go I.

    From desiringGod Blog

    From a blog I follow called  desiringGod .  The whole website is full of truth.  I encourage you to check it out.  I've enlarged and boldened sentences I think are especially well said.   Not Your Mother's Kind of Tolerance by Jonathan Parnell | August 2, 2012   Views that advocate same-sex marriage are free to exist, but they are wrong. Now, stop. Read the above sentence again. Are you okay with it? Chances are how you feel about that statement indicates your understanding (or misunderstanding) of tolerance. D. A. Carson, in his book, The Intolerance of Tolerance , explains that Western culture isn't exactly firing on all cylinders when it comes to knowing what tolerance is. He distinguishes two different concepts of this word: old tolerance and new tolerance. Old tolerance — that is, before the onslaught of postmodernism — defines the concept as to "accept the existence of different views." New tolerance, however, defines tolerance ...

    We Meet Again

    Well, to say that it feels weird to be here again is an understatement. This is a little emotional for me and I'll try to explain why. Firstly, it's been a while since the last time I wrote here. When I typed the address into the search bar, I was actually surprised that a 404 page didn't show up and that, instead, I saw a familiar title and design come up on the screen. There it was - my own writing, published on a web page I undoubtedly spent hours adjusting and tweaking until it was just right, down to the blue and green squares I painted  by hand, scanned into a computer and digitized the old fashioned way with....wait for it.....*Microsoft Paint*.  Illustrator? Pshht. Who needs that when you've got the grandmother of graphic design tools for FREE on your receptionist job work computer? (sarcasm, of course. Adobe, baby, I love you.) But even the details and designs of this page speak to the reason why this is emotional for me. All of the things about this blog that ...
