PROMPT Do you have a Christmas village you display? What kind of houses and shops are in your village? I am curious. I don't have a Christmas village, but seeing this prompt has inspired me to begin to share a story here about a very special angel named Brenda who always did. Due to my late start in writing this, I only have time to tell you a little bit of her story at this time but have created for the purpose of sharing more of her story in the day... [Read more]

PROMPT Prompt: “A character is what he does, yes — but even more, a character is what he means to do.” Orson Scott Card What a character means to do and doesn’t or does, did you ever consider that option in your stories? And doesn’t the same apply to us humans as to what we mean to do? What do you think? Once more, I have the perfect date to grand-open "THE BIG PROJECT" set in my mind, but will it happen? or Will this "perfect date"... [Read more]

PROMPT “Having fewer toys can lead a young child to focus and engage in more creative, imaginative play,” says a study in child development. What are your thoughts on the subject? https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/singletons/201712/new-study-underscores-why... My thoughts are that having a a variety of toys isn't necessarily bad for the imagination -- but that what's thought of as a toy shouldn't be a bunch of scripted toys that are played wi...

PROMPT Gone with the Wind premiered on this day in history in 1939. It is the highest grossing movie in history. Did you see it? What is your favorite part of the movie? If you haven't seen it share with us your favorite movie and why. I saw this movie for the first time when I was fifteen years old. It was playing at the {x-link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_Circle_Theatre}Hilbert Circle Theatre{/x-link} (which, at that time, was called the Circle Thea... [Read more]

PROMPT Hope is the only thing stronger then fear. What are your thoughts on this? I risk making myself look flaky every time I post something like this. Obviously, I'm insanely-fearless, as I post it anyway no matter how flaky it might make me look while still holding out hope that tomorrow's entry will be started out early enough that I won't end up with another flaky piece of writing like this. BYE!!! Written By For: (Art... [Read more]

Note of interest: This entry was actually finished and added on November 22, 2017 but is being modified on March 24, 2018 in just two ways. The first way has to do with changing the setting on this to public viewing after discovering that it had accidentally been kept in the private setting that I use while writing an entry. I wonder how many more I'll find in this condition...Hopefully, very few or — better yet — absolutely NONE ! The second way is the addition of this r... [Read more]

PROMPT What do you think of novelty seekers? Are you a novelty seeker? Novelty: Something or idea that is new and unusual. Also, a small and inexpensive toy or ornament. I'm getting a late start in writing this, so I'm going to just share a few novel ideas that I've come across in my lifetime. One idea was some board books that I came across in a library more than 20 years ago. In fact, I'm thinking that it was at least 30 years ago. Time ... [Read more]

PROMPT: What are you going to do to help celebrate WDC's 17th anniversary? This past Monday, I started out with this very ambitious list of goals for that I placed in this form: I'm happy to report that I at least put a small dent in those goals; however, I didn't even come close to finishing the task. However, I'm going to celebrate WDC's 17th Birthday by spending at least part of it trying to get caught up -- getting a jump-start o... [Read more]

PROMPT: When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? If you're not what you wanted to be now, what made you change your mind? When I read today's prompt, I was so excited to write this. But, as usual, I was kept busy with other things until the last minute. So, I'm going to give you the short version here and write more at-length about it later. You'll eventually be able to find what I've written by going here: Anyway, I ... [Read more]

PROMPT: Which one of the seven dwarfs do you identify with? Which fairy tale Princess do you identify with? Do one or both prompts if you want. I'm Snow White and ALL of The Seven Dwarfs, because I've been working hard on a very special project lately -- and I'm Sleepy because I keep falling asleep when I want to stay awake. This, of course, is also a trait of Snow White's -- but she gets kissed awake by a handsome prince and lives happily ever after! Very... [Read more]

Prompt: If you could choose only one condiment to use for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? The answer would be pickles, because there are so many different kinds and so many ways to use them! I'm running against a deadline, so I won't eleborate on this one but will, instead, just have you check out something I recently wrote on the subject of pickles... Am I A Peanut-Butter-And-Pickle Sandwich!?! (Begun On July 15 And Finished On July 16, 2017) https://stee... [Read more]
