Blogging November 3, 4, 2011

I don't know why I have such a hard time keeping up with this!

November 3rd:
"Can you listen to music and write? What song did you hear today?"
I rarely listen to music because the TV is usually on. If I can write with the TV on, I think I could write even better with music. But I have no idea what songs I've heard recently. Unless the one inside my head ("Mary Did You Know?") counts!

November 4th:
"When you are writing do you prefer to use a pen or a computer?"
Oh, definitely the computer. As my hands age, arthritis becomes more of an issue. Holding a pen for any length of time is hard. Typing becomes harder eventually, but not as quickly. Plus, back space is much easier than scratching out! :)

Blogging

I had every intention of doing the November NaBloPoMo ... and here it is already the 2nd. Oops.

Yesterday's prompt:
"What is your favorite part about writing?"
For me, it's *trying* to get some of the zillions of thoughts that roam around in my head down into real words. I always feel like I have a lot to say ... but I don't seem to be very good at actually doing so.

Today's prompt:
"If you knew that whatever you ate next would be your last meal, what would you want it to be?"
What an odd question! To begin with, why would it be my last meal? Is it because I'm going to die? Or is it because I'm simply not going to be allowed - for whatever reason - to eat again? There's a lot of difference! For example, if I knew I was going to die, I'd feel free to eat something (for example, something loaded with onions) that might give me heartburn, but it wouldn't matter. On the other hand, if I wasn't going to get to eat again, I'd sure choose something that would stick with me as long as possible, but that would not give me indigestion. Either way, something chocolate! I'm thinking probably some kind of pasta - loaded with butter and cheese. :) Or maybe a Hibachi buffet!
Now I wish I hadn't started on this. I'd really love to go to Papa's (not PapaJohn) Pizza for some of their alfredo!!!
