One thing you must accomplish today is...

The Imagination Prompt Generator Prompt for me today:

One thing you must accomplish today is...

…everything. That is not a good answer, I know. But I can't think of anything else. Initially I was very enthusiastic about this prompt; I thought it might be serendipity. I was so excited this afternoon to find a job announcement at a really cool sounding place. All I wanted to do was come home to work on my resume. But once I got home, I lost steam. Dinner, and bills and kids and hubbies took over and sapped my energy. Then I read the prompt and though the answer should be “updating my resume” and within 20 seconds it was gone. I was left with everything else.

I’m trying to stay more creative and trying to write at least a few times a week, so I’ve decided to use online prompt generators for encouragement. I have about 3 books with different exercises, but I can never make the time to pull those out and sit and do a writing exercise for 10 min. So, today, I saw the link and thought I should put the exercises in my blog. Maybe I will wind up documenting my progress. Maybe down the line I might inspire somebody else. Maybe knowing that this information is in the public it will keep me motivated.

So after writing this today, I find that my goal was to accomplish writing a little something and posting it. Baby steps.

By the way, I’m proofing and editing today’s writing exercise, but in the future, they may be more freewriting and may not be polished (even a little). I apologize in advance for anything that is really bad.
