PROMPT September 5th

Imagine you have a superpower of your choice. However, no one knows about it! What does your superpower enable you to do? Do you confide in anyone? What happens?

My superpower would be a lie/bulls*** detector. How cool would that be? I’m prettying good at that now, however some people are terrific liars, they even get past me. It would be wonderful to be absolutely sure. I would never tell anyone, I would simply listen to their fabricated stories and nod, look suitably impressed and go on my way happy in the knowledge I know the truth.
If I could have another superpower, I’d like to fly. I don’t think I’d be able to keep that a secret though, I’d simply take off, much to the surprise of all the land bound creatures gazing up at me in awe.

PROMPT September 4th

Write about a weird, cool, unbelievable, or interesting fact you know, but don’t think many other people do.


The medical name for a butt crack is “intergluteal cleft”. I always called it ‘builder’s crack‘ 🤣

Di you know that a chef’s hat has exactly 100 pleats? Reminds me how I hated pleated skirts, especially ironing them😭

Did you know that your brain is 60% fat? Mine’s probably much leaner though, I’ve been watching what I eat.. 🤫

PROMPT September 3rd

Describe a time when your work was criticized. How did you react?

I’ve had two really harsh reviews since I joined WdC. Funnily enough, both were from the same person. The first one he told me he couldn’t sleep and had decided to look for a short story to read, maybe to put him back to sleep.💤 Anyway, he was so incensed by my terrible punctuation he really let me have it, with both barrels. I was really upset, not by the fact he was trying to teach me something but the way he went about it. It felt like an attack. The second time he did the same thing was for a story for which I’d received an awardicon. I’m not saying it was perfect, grammar wise, but it certainly didn’t deserve his ire. The last time didn’t upset me, I simply used his obvious knowledge and thanked providence I wasn’t in a classroom setting with him.

PROMPT September 2nd

Be inspired by this quote: "Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning." - Mahatma Gandhi

Belief is everything. Without some germ of an idea telling you that something is within your grasp, none of us would attempt anything. Having parents who believe in your abilities is a great start in life. When I look back at my childhood, although it was perfectly fine, average, I suppose, expectations were low. One wasn’t encouraged to think too much of oneself, so long as you managed to get a job, any job, then that will suffice.
I was listening to a podcast on the radio this morning and the question was posed, “what would you tell your young self?” My initial response was to have more faith in my abilities, to believe that I could.
