And then I was no longer young

Hi! My name is Toni and this is my blog on writing prompts. Sometimes inspiration strikes me anywhere, sometimes I badly need a jumpstart. This blog helps with those jumpstarts, when you need a little push. Hopefully the writing prompts open your mind further to new ideas and help encourage you into writing more. A little writing help never hurt!

1. What feeling does this image evoke?

What would you do if you knew you were dying?
August 17th 2008 14:51
Mortality is something that binds us all. We may have different personalities, different colors, different accents, but we all are human.
Sometimes death sneaks up on someone and takes him by surprise. Sometimes it lingers until the person he's visiting knows the friendship will go on a deeper level soon.

What did you think of Breaking Dawn?
August 5th 2008 02:42
The final book in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, was released last weekend.
Will Bella become a vampire? Who will she choose -- Edward or Jacob? What comes next for the three lead characters?
These questions filled my head (and other Twilighters' heads) for a good year or so. And our questions were finally answered just a few days ago.
I've read the book and... I didn't like it very much.
What did you think of Breaking Dawn?

A 31st Birthday Sort of Reflection
July 21st 2008 09:14
How did you celebrate your 31st birthday?
Or if you haven't celebrated it yet, where do you hope to be in life when you turn 31?
I turn 31 next week. Like most people, I start doing those little self-reflections once a birthday is nearing. What good did I do the past year? Did I grow? Am I in the same rut? Stuff like that. God knows there are so many things I wished I had achieved by age 30, but for particular reasons they didn't happen. You just deal with it and move on.
When I was 18, I imagined being married with 3 kids by the time I was 31. With a house and a white picket fence. Y'know, technicolored dreams like that. I didn't get that full dream, but I'm okay. Over the years priorities change and you start understanding more and more about what you want from life.
I'll write a proper birthday reflection post some other time. Or maybe I won't. If I don't, this sentence will sum the past year up: I'm blessed and can't wait to see what else comes my way.
Life doesn't always turn out the way you want it to. But when you learn how to embrace life as it is, life becomes more colorful and much, much more meaningful.

Are you a cat lover?
July 19th 2008 07:32
I don't have a love affair with cats. I'm not an animal person, but I'd get a dog over a cat anyday. Cats seem so distant and proud. And I don't like claws. Ever since a kitten scratched my sister's foot over twenty years ago, and a couple of cats gave my Mom asthma, I've steered clear of cats.
But they can be cute. In college, there was this black cat who loved to be stroked on the head. I stayed away from it as much as I can. But it would curl around my leg, mew lovingly I would think, and then there I was petting it. That was the closest to a cat relationship I've had in my whole life.
Are you a cat lover? What is it that makes cats such good pets? I'd like to understand.
