If you had to choose between being able to write a blog (but not read others’) and being able to read others’ blogs (but not write your own), which would you pick? Why? Writing anything will always be more agonizing, frustrating, embarrassing and painful than reading. I heart reading. Give me more than three members … More Day 26: Hobson’s Choice
A sanctuary is a place you can escape to, to catch your breath and remember who you are. Write about the place you go to when everything is a bit too much. I go to bed. It’s soft, warm and, if I wish it to be, can be pitch black. Better yet, it is a … More Day 25: Oasis
Now that you’ve got some blogging experience under your belt, re-write your very first post. If I may be so bold as to link to myself, I wrote a blog post not too long ago in which I mentioned self-contradiction. It’s something we’re all guilty of to one degree or another. And now, rereading my … More Day 24: Hindsight
Write a post about anything you’d like — in the style of your favorite blogger. (Be sure to link to them!) *Photo credit: http://fanaticcook.blogspot.com People always mention the pleasure of trying out new foods as one of the joys of travel, but have you ever noticed how food, just basic food without the local interpretations, … More Day 23: Imitation/Flattery

That’s because it was born in China, a place where I would never have ended up if you were … More Day 22: Audience of One

In doing so, I totally pissed in the face of my own all … More Day 21 – (amendment)
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve given someone that you failed to take yourself? Don’t smoke.
Here’s the title of your post: “An Offer I Couldn’t Refuse.” Set a timer for ten minutes, and write it. Go! An offer I couldn’t refuse reminds me of an offer I should have refused. But since that is not the purpose of this insane exercise, I will leave that for another day. Anyone who … More Day 20: Race the Clock
Write about your strongest memory of heart-pounding, belly-twisting nervousness: what caused the adrenaline? Was it justified? How did you respond? Memories, mine at least, exist on many levels – in this world, in the dream world and in the in-between world. I have distinct memories of “heart-pounding, belly-twisting nervousness” from all three. Now, although I … More Day 19: Fight or Flight
Open your nearest book to page 82. Take the third full sentence on the page, and work it into a post somehow. The charmer is having a bad day. Sheba is not her usual self. This is their fifteenth year working together, he and his cobra. For as long as Sheba has been performing with … More Day 18: Connect the Dots
