Today’s Prompt:
Tell us what you’ve learned so far about daily blogging.
I’ve learned that blogging daily is something I can do. It isn’t as much of a struggle as I thought it may be and I actually look forward to simply writing for the sake of writing. To simply express my thoughts through words inspired by a thought. It is amazingly relaxing and rejuvenating.
Surprisingly I used to be against using prompts to get a post started. I dunno I somehow felt it was cheating or not completely authentic. Yet, since starting the NaBloPoMo November Challenge I find the prompts to be far from cookie-cutter. Even as I read other Blogger’s daily posts based from the same prompts I am using I see so many varied and unique perspectives I am in awe.
I realize now that a prompt is no more than a spark or jump-start for the creativity that is already within a person, especially a writer. I no longer look down upon prompts i actually find respect for them. A prompt can ignite a thought and flow of feelings in someone who they may have never reached for otherwise.
So, I am grateful for the NaBloPoMo November Prompt Challenge and the things I have learned so far.
Imagine if I have learned this from a mere 4 days or so (I started late) what I can learn throughout the rest of the month??? I can’t wait! 🙂

so found you through the blogher nanamsfbadfsjlks( abunch of letters i never remember…) challenge. I agree. I start in october and used the prompts and then slowly it was like I suddenly had more to write about and was constantly thinking about what I would write.
You just had me laughing out loud for real! I can never remember the letters right either. I always double and triple check to make sure I\’m not writing nonsense…LOL They truly help…I am excited each day to see what the next prompt is 🙂 Thanks so much for coming by!
Wee! Another challenge you have there Mrs Tee! 🙂 I think youre right! That's certainly one of the best parts of joining a challenge. You are not only able to write what you feel but also see how other people interpret the prompts. This seems fun and I hope you're enjoying your week! 😀
Hi!! Miss connecting with you :). Yes this one is fun and I’m having a blast. I hope you have another soon…I slacked off near the end with Halloween but I enjoyed your’s tremendously.
What an awesome take on writing prompts! I felt the same way you felt about writing like it was kind of cheating. When I signed up for NaBloPoMo, this thought really ran through my mind, but I decided to do it anyway. I'm glad I did, because I like you, have learned that you can really take a witting prompt and make it your own.
