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
Today’s ThinkKit prompt was to write about something incredibly funny that happened in the last year. Well, to be honest I wasn’t able to think of any one thing that deserved this place of honor on the blog. But I could think of a person: my boyfriend. As I mentioned yesterday, my boyfriend moved in with me a few months Continue reading Deck the LOLs – ThinkKit prompt #3
Today’s ThinkKit prompt is called “Flip the Script” and encourages bloggers to talk about how they’ve change their mind, in some major or minor way, during the last year. Well, as it happens, I have recently flipped the script in quite a significant way regarding the cover of my upcoming novella Going Home. When I first started thinking about actually Continue reading Flip the Script – ThinkKit Prompt #2
So, here we are! December 1st, and the first day of the ThinkKit December blogging prompts. Today’s prompt is called A Thousand Words and challenges bloggers to share their year in photos, and talk about the role photos play in their lives. 2014 has been a year of ups and downs, the downs mostly involving stress around school and bad time Continue reading A Thousand Words – ThinkKit Prompt #1
