I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you'll be able to reconnect to your home and memories through the movie.

I think that as with any kind of writing, responding to a prompt can sometimes spark nothing... but for me, if I just start writing something, anything, an idea will come.

Sometimes I have to really think hard and if nothing comes just admit it and move on to the next one.

I like these 3 prompts too.

These are good prompts. I've been around the 30-Day for awhile so some were familiar. Now I'm trying to learn to spin them in a new way or make the old news work better.

Less Waiting More Doing

PROMPT January 16th

What are you waiting for?

There are so many ways to answer this question, both light and heavy, so I look forward to reading where you go with it!

Waiting. It's a slow, easy word. Just saying it is slow. No rush. No motivation. No inspiration. Just a sedentary state of...really...nothing. Lazy? Lackadaisical? Careless? Maybe or maybe not. Just a quiet, still space something like limbo. It's not productive yet we all do it, and we do it all the time. Even though I'm usually the one who says, "Let's get this done," I'm also the one who says, "Just a minute. Let's wait just a bit." Hard to admit that I'm waiting. But if I'm honest with myself then I'm waiting ALL the time.

Waiting for the right time. Waiting for the right day. Waiting on someone else. Waiting for good weather. Waiting for bad weather. Waiting for a feeling to pass. Waiting on extra money. Waiting on all things bound by time and place and space.

I guess that makes me a waiter!

And if I were a waiter then I'd be waiting on tips. Waiting on the food. Waiting on the crazy people and the nice people and the mean people and the sad people, and everyone else. Waiting on my boss. Waiting on my paycheck. Wait, wait, wait. I guess that's what waiters do. They wait.

But glamorous as it may be, I don't want to be a waiter. Instead I want to be a doer. Get things done. Move forward. Even when it's scary.

I guess I didn't realize I was such a waiter. But I can change that. I'll have to put a new slogan on my wall: Less Waiting; More Doing.
