Daily Writing Challenge-Feb. 2017

Rated: 18+ · Book · Drama · #2110106

All entries to the daily writing challenge will go here.

I'm somewhat divided by this. On one hand I already have glasses so to go totally blind wouldn't be a big stretch. I would miss seeing colors, possibly what my spouse and any future children look like.

As far as movies go, I could still hear so I can remember how it looked when I still had eyesight. Sometimes how movies envision book characters can be disappointing so my active imagination's version would probably be more entertaining anyway.

The one thing that would be disappointing about being deaf would be listening to music. Sometimes it's more of a distraction or white noise when being alone makes my mental health crap.

And I'd worry about forgetting what my mother sounds like. We could probably work it out but sometimes it helps to be able to hear it. I wouldn't be much of a lip reader. At least being deaf, I couldn't hear people making snide comments about me. Being blind, I couldn't see them but would still hear them.

I'm kind of torn about this question. You figure you learn to adapt over time. It's a coin toss for me. I'd feel the loss sure, but in the end adaptation is necessary for your own survival and well being.

You might want to consider joining "Invalid Item"

. One gets a choice of prompts and the requirement is to write 3 entries/week.

1. Apathy is a biggie. Hard to maintain or change anything if no one cares. On-the-other-hand the passivity of the Thais can work to their advantage. They are tolerant and accepting, put family and friends first, stay happy.

2. I've been to the Latin Bridge in Sarajevo where he was assassinated.

5. I lived through the 60s and 70s. It was a troubled time and intolerant.

You'd think a queen would keep better track of her anniversary. Also, that was a clever idea, using the trope name to form an acrostic!

Never heard the song and she makes good points. Love your share too.

I agree that this is a pretty innovative cover. I like how they subtly worked in the Addam's family theme song into the chorus. It's so recognizable. I didn't really watch the show, but I do remember Wednesday Addams being more sweet than creepy.

Ha, and I caught the WandaVision reference. "It's been Addams' all along." Clever!

I thought this was innovative. As far as the Addams family went, I used to watch it and Wednesday was just a sweet weird little girl, much younger than this. I remember the dolls without heads and the guillotine. She really wasn't much stranger than I could be as a kid sometimes. It was such an innocent time, nothing was really very creepy just enough to get good ratings and compete with The Muensters. You know what was creepy was Grimm's Fairy Tales and hiding under your desk at school with dog tags on, mushroom cloud demonstrations. LOL Nice pick though.

I enjoy parodies. You will most likely see at least one, probably more, pop up on my soundtrack this month as well.

That's really cool! I love it when someone takes a popular song and manages to adapt it into a new thing.

It would be cool to see Frankenstein's Castle. But, I don't know that it would make my bucket list if I had one!

I used to give parties to bring folks together. Food was the key!

That said, I mostly provided the vittles. And the gathering was to get to know each other and play some games (folks used to do that... decades ago).

But I agree. I'm not there just to be abused.
