If you’re new to prompt writing, and don’t really understand how to use the prompts, please consider the following writing exercise.
Settle into your favorite place in the house with a hot drink to warm your waking bones. Once you’ve warmed up a bit; grab your journal, a trusty pen, and a timer. Then, set your timer for ten minutes and begin writing about one of the prompts. Don’t worry about spelling, punctuation, neatness, or anything like that; just write! Write about anything and everything that comes to your mind, and don’t stop until the ten minutes are up.
I often find myself writing short stories or poems during those ten minutes, but you can write about anything you like. And don’t be alarmed if what you’ve written doesn’t quite make sense. The whole idea behind doing this exercise is to get your mind ready and working so that you can begin your day. Just think of it as exercise for your brain, and once you’ve done your ten minutes of writing, you’ll feel more prepared to tackle the rest of your day.
As always, I will be writing and posting over on my other blog, which can be found here. So please come visit me if you get a chance, and hopefully I can keep up with all of you!
And one last thing before I forget! I made a quick tutorial for those of you who have been having trouble trying to figure out how to Pingback your posts. Please go here, if you’d like to view the tutorial. 😉

Time for a summer break…
#weekendcoffeeshare – Rainy Day Chatter
Well, so much for spring! Yesterday was 74° and partially cloudy, and today it’s 40° and rainy. Hence the reason I’m late getting up today. Honestly, I could have slept all day since it’s so dark outside. But alas, my stomach got to grumbling and so here I am; not quite awake yet, and trying to figure out something worthwhile to talk about. So without further ado, grab a hot cup of something and let’s chat!
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I had a fairly low-key week. Monday I traveled to a town I used to live in, all in order to do my taxes, and then I also stopped by to see a dear friend of mine. She has been going through a rough patch, so I wanted to stop and say hello and bring her a bit of cheer. We had a nice time catching up, after not seeing her since Thanksgiving. Then later that night, my husband and I took our girls to see Beauty and the Beast. I have to say… it was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time, and Emma Watson really made the movie what it was.
Thursday night I had a date night with hubby. It was sort of a spontaneous thing that happened. We were just going out to run some quick errands but decided to go out for dinner as well. Always a nice surprise when we can spend some time together. He works such longs hours, and so I hardly ever see him. I’m looking forward to this summer because he’s only scheduled to work two weekends all summer long. I’m hopeful that we will actually be able to plan a camping trip; something we always talk about but rarely get to do.
Last night I got to go see my niece graduate. She came away with her associate’s degree as a medical assistant. I am so very proud of her! After suddenly losing her mom whom she was living with a couple of years ago, she has since been trying to support her and her son the best she can. So going back to school was very difficult for her, with everything else she had to face as well. But I think she can finally see her efforts coming to fruition, and it’s good to see a smile on her face because of it.
Living here in Wisconsin is hard for me, as I don’t have any blood relatives where I live, except for my immediate family of course. Then, on my husband’s side, we only have four blood relatives living somewhat near us (30-90 min. away). The thing is, it makes for very small family gatherings and the holidays often seem a bit lonely. I grew up with big family celebrations and I really miss them. So seeing my niece last night was such a blessing to me. We were able to take her out to dinner and had the best time. And now with eating out twice this week, I guess I will really have to watch what I eat this coming week!
Well, I suppose I should wrap things up for now. I’m still sitting here in my pajamas at almost 2:00 in the afternoon! Lol…
Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. Talk to ya next week! ~M
