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.

Here's What's Icky in My Life

PROMPT January 6th

Write about something that makes you squeamish. What is icky, gross, or just plain “yuck!” Is there anything that makes other people shiver with disgust that doesn’t bother you?

Icky, gross, and just plain "yuck". In my world there aren't many things that fall into this category, but there are a few...

Icky #1: Cling peaches out of a can. Slippery, slimy and tasteless. Who ever thought it was a good idea to put soggy fruit in a can? Just the thought of peaches out of a can makes my throat close.

Icky #2: Raw hamburger. Cold fat and sinewy meat fibers forced together in a cold lump that slowly goes from bright red to gray. And if you decide to make burgers out of it and have to mix it, then all that yuck gets stuck to your hands and under your nails. Gross, gross, gross.

Icky #3: Pink slime that accumulates in the shower if it's not cleaned. I was a guest at someone's house and noticed the pink slime when I got in the shower. At first I thought it was soap or shampoo. Nope. It wasn't. I nearly threw up. Haven't stayed with those people since.

Not-so-icky #1: Creamed herring. I'm polish. It's how we toast the new year! I grew up with it. Stop judging.

Not-so-icky #2: Cold peas out of a can. Okay, stop judging. I LOVE cold peas out of a can. Who knew?

Not-so-icky #3: Scooping up dog turds in the yard. I actually call this "gold mining". I've always owned a dog or two. And I've always done the gold mining. Geez, you'd think by now I'd be rich. Alas, it doesn't work that way...

So there you have it. The Ickys and the Not-so-ickys. Oh I'm sure there's plenty more, but you get the idea.
