Any chance you will join in November? I want to know how Collin's doing.

I've enjoyed reading your responses to the prompts this month. See you again in September, hopefully!

Reading all the blogs has been really fun for me. This was my first time to do this.

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

This is a shame. I cannot fathom such a devastating loss. Hugs!

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.

A Prompt is a Prompt

PROMPT July 28th

All month, you’ve been replying to prompts straight from the Challenge War Chest, filled with prompts from previous 30DBC competitors. Today, write three of your own prompts and then reply to one of them in your entry.

We've had some good prompts from the War Chest this month, but we've also had some that just didn't spark anything for me. My fault entirely, I suppose, because a prompt is a prompt is a prompt. It means you write even if you don't like it. So this month I did the best I could. Surprisingly I found that writing for the prompts I least liked spurred some deeper thought and roused up some long-seated emotions I needed to deal with. So whether I liked the prompts or not I made a commitment to myself and my fellow bloggers to give it all I've got. Of course Collin was no help this month, but you know...Collin is just Collin. Having said all that, I would have liked some prompts that went more in a fiction direction. That would have allowed me to spin some fun and crazy tales! But alas, I'm committed to handling all prompts as they come.

Based on that I have the following to offer:

1. How do you handle a blog prompt when you just aren't feeling it?

2. Have you ever walked away from a prompt only to come back later fully energized with something to say?

3. Take a blog prompt from the past and give it a fresh look and a fresh spin.

Who knows? Maybe we'll see one of these in a future challenge. Until then, keep writing.
