Day 9: What is your definition of love? Draws blank. Begins to think. Starts that talking out loud thing she does. Begins to type: I think that love is really just about consideration.  Like, religion teaches humans to “love” but I doubt that suggests that one should have hot passionate sex with whomever they meet!  [...]

Day 8: Something you hate about yourself. The tummy.  Actually we have a kind of love-hate thing going.  I love it when it’s full.  Hate it that it feels the need to tell everybody when it’s full.  And too many times it tells that lie even when it's not. I love it that it’s soft, [...]

Day 7: Tell us about your crush. Staring out the window on Mr. Millaway's bus humming this ditty and thinking about some eighth or ninth grade "big boy" who was not thinking about me, my big ol' glasses, and my super-stuffed backpack (because I could never get the combination lock open on my locker and [...]

Day 6: Discuss a song that makes you cry. Oh no—not Cochise! to listen to this song... It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday by G.C. Cameron is the absolute worst song in the entire world. Not the bubblegum pop, not the misogynistic tomes that pass for hip hop, not even the ditties that [...]

Day 5: Post a photo of something you really hate.  

Whoops--I'm already falling off the wagon!  Anyway here is what should've been yesterday's blog post. Day 4: Post a picture of you and your family. Little Ernest Jr. was ornery as all get out.  So ornery that he left Virginia at 13 in the exhaust fumes of the truant officer.  He crossed the Mason-Dixon line [...]

Day 3: Post a photo of you and your friends. Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend/ When people can be so cold/They'll hurt you and desert you/And take your soul if you let them/Oh, but don't you let them/You just call out my name/And you know wherever I am/I'll come running [...]

Day 2: Discuss the meaning behind your name.   According to the little name cards you get in the drug store by the post cards and gift-lets, my name is of English origin and is based on the endearment “Darling.”  Fits no?  (Naysayers, your comments will be deleted)!  I kid, I kid. As far as I [...]

Day 1: Post a recent photo of yourself and 5 interesting facts about you. Factoid 1: I peed my pants on a Greyhound bus. (And I was past the age of consent). It all happened on a 20 hour bus ride from Delaware to Atlanta.  At the first stop, one of the passengers got off [...]

As if I didn’t already need 12 more hours in a day… I read about this challenge on another blog and decided that it might be a good way to jump starting my writing. These entries have nothing to do with my actual writing project, but any writing practice is great conditioning for the big [...]
