Prompt: Maintaining a Healthy Work and Life Balance
How do you balance work and home life? Today’s writing prompt is all about that work/life balance, and I feel like this is definitely something I can talk about, because it’s something I’ve struggled with for years (and, you know, I have a job!). I’m not entirely talking about the past half decade before I…

Prompt: An Ode to Ed
Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life. I’m grateful that this prompt graced my dashboard, because it’s giving me the chance to write about someone who … I think vastly changed my life without even knowing it. And even though he passed away in 2018, his influence remains in…

Prompt: Adapting, Post Covid-19
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? Sometimes I save Jetpack writing prompts as drafts so that I have something to write about later, should I feel so inclined. Obviously, if I want to be writing, I should be writing more for my book (Dissolution Protocol) that I haven’t…

Prompt: Public Figures & the AI Lie
What public figure do you disagree with the most? I haven’t answered one of these prompts in a while. Mostly because they’re usually unanswerable questions, i.e., things not worth talking about, or things I don’t feel like answering. Today’s prompt is all about public figures, and who I might most disagree with. One could say,…

Prompt: What’d You Learn in High School?
Describe something you learned in high school. I don’t always jump into the Jetpack writing prompts, because most of the time they’re kind of “Eh.” Kind of boring, etc, etc, you know what I mean. But this one is interesting, because you could answer this a few different ways. I could say, I learned in…

Prompt: What’s Your Morning Ritual?
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? On most mornings I find myself literally crawling out of bed. See, I sleep on top of a mattress that’s topped with memory foam, that’s also topped with more memory foam. I basically sleep in one gushy square of foam,…

Prompt: Comprehension, and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity
What’s something most people don’t understand? This is an interesting prompt, because there is no way in the world I could possibly know what the average consensus of people usually don’t understand. I could say, “Most people don’t understand that the genre of Cyberpunk is a warning, not an aspiration.” But, is that true? Is…

Prompt: Just Say No
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? This is kind of an ambiguous question, at least for me, because I have a lot of goals. But by and large, most of my goals have to do with either learning new things, doing creative work in my free time,…

Prompt: Failure and Success
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? In my lifetime I’ve failed many times, and I’ve had many successes. There are things I fail at more than others, but the one big takeaway is that failure precludes success. What I mean by that, is that I fully believe in…

Prompt: Is fate real?
Do you believe in fate/destiny? Today’s WordPress prompt is all about a theme featured in one of my favorite movie franchises: The Matrix. Are our fates already foretold? Normally, I would say, no. Absolutely not. The universe exists in total chaos and we, the human species, exist entirely by biological accident. But then again, maybe…
