Today’s ThinkKit prompt is to talk about what the “soundtrack of your year” has been. If I hadn’t already mentioned it I would’ve talked about Tori Amos’ Midwinter Graces (even if that’s only been the soundtrack of December for me), but since I’ve already talked about it I’ll have to pick something else. It’s sort of hard to choose. I listen Continue reading Insert Theme Music Here – ThinkKit Prompt #19
Today’s ThinkKit prompt is replaced by this post: my entry in Linda Poitevin’s Virtual Cookie Exchange Blog Hop.! I was tagged by Debbie Vega (thank you!) who shared a recipe for some delicious-sounding pumpkin peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. The hop is really simple: you share a cookie recipe and tag four more people to do the same the following week. The four I’ve Continue reading The Virtual Cookie Exchange Blog Hop!
Today’s ThinkKit prompt is to write about a number that’s had some sort of significance in 2014. Well, I pick the number: I like the number 27. 9×3 = 27. 3³ = 27. 9, 3 and 7 are my favorite numbers so you can see why it would appeal to me. 2 is okay, I suppose, but given the other things Continue reading Lucky Number – ThinkKit Prompt #15
Today’s ThinkKit prompt is to write about something you have discovered this year. Well, to keep it short and sweet, I recently discovered Tori Amos’ Christmas album Midwinter Graces and have been listening to it daily, sometimes non-stop on repeat, ever since. I really like the vibe of it. You should totally check it out. ThinkKit is a blog project, with daily Continue reading Look Outward, Look Inward – ThinkKit Prompt #14
Yesterday’s ThinkKit prompt got overshadowed by me freaking out over how quickly Going Home was published on Amazon. Today the prompt is to wite about something from the last year that you wish you could do over (hence the rather lame title). I knew before I’d even finished reading the prompt what I’d write about. In October, I turned in Continue reading Mulligan – ThinkKit Prompt #12
As you may have noticed, I ended up skipping my ThinkKit prompt yesterday. It was about rants and raves, encouraging bloggers to get up on the soapbox about some issue and I skipped it because: a) when I try to soapbox in writing it tends to become long and incoherent and I upset myself in the process of writing it Continue reading Just Can’t Wait – ThinkKit Prompt #9
Today’s ThinkKit prompt encourages bloggers to think of one thing they would magically change in 2015 if they could. I always find those sorts of questions tricky. They make me feel like a contestant in one of those beauty pageants, where they’re supposed to say what they wish for and they all say “World Peace”. Because how can you not, right? Continue reading Alla-Kazam! – ThinkKit Prompt #7
Today’s ThinkKit prompt is about your “third home”, that place besides your home and your work where you spent lots of time this year. And honestly, I can’t think of one. I mean, I spend a fair bit of time at my folks’ place, at my best friend’s flat, at cafés and on the bus but… none of these stick Continue reading Third Place – ThinkKit Prompt #6
Today’s ThinkKit is called “Aloha” and encourages bloggers to talk about something they’ve said goodbye, or hello, to during the year. Well, I intend to do both. This year I said hello to my new Twitter account (@EmmaLindhagen for those of you who don’t know) and, eventually, goodbye to my old one. This might not seem like a big deal, but it Continue reading Aloha! – ThinkKit Prompt #5
Today’s ThinkKit prompt is to write about a piece of advice one has been given during the year and to be honest, I’m struggling with what to write about. It’s not that I haven’t recieved any advice this year. On the contrary, I’ve recieved loads. When you’re a writer who follows a lot of other writers on Twitter, at times Continue reading 2¢ – ThinkKit Prompt #4
