I like Motivational Monday because of the quotes. I don’t like War Chest Wednesday much, since they come from a pool and sometimes they have been used recently. If I would change it I would change it to something about the writing process itself. Weary Writing Wednesday. A question or a comment on the writing process be it plot, setting, character development or anything that comes to mind. Or about the different genres of writing. How do you make a good romance story, or a good suspense story? I would love to read others about those subjects.

The first car I owned was together with my then boyfriend. I had trouble passing the exam, theory was always a hit but practice was a real disaster, I passed after the fourth time!! It had cost me a fortune I can tell you. My boyfriend and I had a green Skoda. We trade this in for a Ford Escort and later a Ford Taunus. After I split with him my very first car I owned at my own was a black Honda Civic with the possibility of an open roof. I loved that small car. I had a big yellow smile sticker (they were hot in the 70ties and 80ties) at the driver‘s door. A very outspoken sight. I can’t recall I gave the car a name. But it was definitely a ‘him’.

I am a bit ambivalent about this prompt. Good neighbors are a blessing, but I am not that fond about meddling neighbors so they have to be kept at a distance. I like to greet them, talk to them if there is time and help out if there is a need to. But other than that the best neighbor is the invisible neighbor. I don’t mind living sounds, I live in the city so noises are always there, but I hate it when they play loud music or quarrel a lot in public. My direct neighbors don’t do that but I had a young couple living across the street always fighting each other. Those girls were very bad for each other, the police visited very often because there was always something the matter. They moved eventually and now it’s quiet in the street again. I love quiet!
