28 in Summer 2017
My wife provided me many prompts. I’ll be using some of them this summer. The remainder will wait until NoJoMo in November. Maybe by then, I’ll have figured out how to get my old content back. ...

I’m on the phone with a hospital system, trying to figure out payment stuff. The medication I’m on for MS is incredibly expensive. They pay up to my out-of-pocket maximum on my nearly $700/mo. p...

I’ve been really bad about publishing my prompts. Lots going on, unfortunately, combined with my body being in protest. So, what’s a Wednesday look like for me? Check to see if any of my job ap...

I didn’t get out prompts yesterday. Much of the afternoon was spent trying to get my mother’s laptop working. Then my in-laws’ house, the supermarket, and home for dinner. After dinner and a beer...
Double Deuce in Summer 2017
The last two years, I’ve written in the month leading up to my birthday. I also write in November. I am starting late this year, however. This week has kind of been a week from hell. My in-laws ...
Rolling My Eyes in For Public Consumption
I work from home most of the time. The inanity of coworkers’ commentary on the other side of hte clubicles wasn’t a reason, previously, but I think, maybe, I should add it. This woman is repainti...
Thirty in NoJoMo 2016
Recap, reaction. Well, sixth year complete. I’m not terribly satisfied with what I’ve written, but I did it again. It really has gotten the writing moving again. This summer’s month didn’t do th...

Free Write. I thought I might be able to recycle some of what I wrote last week here. I looked, and none of it seems to fit. Oh well. It was largely about my employment travails over the past a...

How was turkey day for you. If you’re celebrating on a different day, please elaborate (like my friends in Soviet Canuckistan). Other than all the football after the Lions’ game, it was pretty go...

Free Write. It’s just after three in the morning, and I’m writing because I’m “woke as fuck<” or something. (Isn’t that what the kids are writing these days? I blame the folks over at Mouthy...

Write about your recycling habits.. My recycling habits.....ummm, I try to do the “right things,” but it’s tough for me in my current situation. I can’t haul shit (and there’s the George Carlin b...
Twenty-one in NoJoMo 2016
Write about something you’ve had to re-learn.The impetus for this was something too personal to write about publicly. As my nerves stop working, I’ve had to re-learn lots of things. Many of them ...
Twenty in NoJoMo 2016
Kind of a nadir in my motivation today. Yesterday, I apologized to the wall for hitting it; Friday’s infusion can’t get here fast enough. Thankfully, I think I’m free of medical adventures this...

This prompt has been difficult. I have a draft of some extensive writing that I’ll probably recycle parts of later. But I’m going to do this as simply as I can. Recap of your year month-by-mont...
Eighteen in NoJoMo 2016
Write about three things you did for the first time in the past year. Okay, so three things I’ve done this year that I’d never done before. Please excuse the odd organization; i started with b...

On being sick. I understand why I chose this prompt for this date. I wrote much of this on the train heading to Washington DC to visit the folks at Georgetown School of Medicine. I wrote a bit ...
