Friday Writings #219: Looking Back

 

Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! I've recently been going over all of the old posts in my blog. It's definitely been an interesting experience, seeing how my writing and the themes I've focused on have changed through the years. It's also been fascinating seeing how much I've changed in other ways. For instance, one of the funniest is seeing the shift in books I love, especially when it comes to my current favorite series.

So for this week's optional prompt, I would like to you take inspiration from the idea of "looking back". 

Feel free to interpret it in any way you wish, through either fiction or non-fiction, poetry or prose. Just please remember that it's one post per person, and keep your submissions to 369 words or fewer.

One of my favorite songs on the playlist Matt Dinniman 

created for Dungeon Crawler Carl. Honestly the whole

playlist he put together is amazing.

Next week, we shall ask you to write on something about which you feel deeply.

Friday Writings #218: The World Is Burning, But…

I am cranky, my dear poets and storytellers. Constant throbbing pain has that effect on me. Sometimes, my crankiness tries to get the better of me, nudges me to glare and bare my teeth at random people. Then I remind myself of the good things: My insurance pays for all these surgeries, my body and mind can withstand the physical trauma and mental stress, my spouse adores me, spring will be here soon (and I’ll get to garden!), I have excellent friends, I’m not alone… 

Those thoughts brewed today’s optional prompt: please, share poetry or prose which includes the following phrase: “the world is burning, but…”
