I've had bad writer's block, so I'm thinking of starting the #WritingPrompts again. For those of you new to my paywall content, in the past I've done writing prompts to get the creative juices flowing and posted them for my subscribers. If anyone wants to join in, contribute to whatever prompts you want, if you are able and only if you feel comfortable sharing.
There is only one rule for anyone partaking or observing:
1. NO UNSOLICITED FEEDBACK -- a lot of the stuff that comes out in writer's prompts is very personal. If I'm asking a question -- it doesn't mean I'm actually looking for an answer. It just means that question came out in the writing prompt and it's something I need to consider. The prompts also aren't cries for help or digging for compliments, so please don't feel the need to pump me up or call the suicide hotline. It's truly just timed stream of conscious writing.
This goes for other people partaking in the exercise. If someone shares something in a prompt and they don't ask for advice--don't give them advice! I understand and appreciate the desire to help but in order for people to feel like they can be honest in their writing prompts, they have to feel safe to say whatever the fuck comes up.
If the prompt made you reflect on something in yourself or your life -- GREAT! -- I want to hear all about it. If you want to partake and post your writing prompt in the comments-- that's awesome! Make sure you save them in a word doc first so you don't lose it.
All of this stuff will be for subscribers only as in my past experience with prompts, shit gets real!
This is what you are missing, plebs. #DumpsterFire
Our little genius @samanthashahi made this video lol
We come up with another idea for a YouTube series. Because we don't have enough to do...
A little reminiscence on Cousin Maggie's 40th Birthday. We discuss that time Bridget almost became a stripper.
Dave Rubin joins Bridget for his second appearance on the podcast. They talk the long-term effects and changes brought about by social distancing, staying in touch with friends and family now more than ever, no longer looking at the world through a political party lens, how to support small businesses during the shut down, and wonder if the government can't help people in a time like this, what's the point of government. They share their small successes, like Dave's new garden and Bridget's perfect loaf of sourdough, discuss how irrelevant things like the NBA and celebrities have become, and offer show and movie recommendations. They also cover the future of the Democratic party, how government is all about solving another problem it created and discuss Dave's new book Don't Burn This Book.
Hello new followers, I hope I don’t disappoint you. I want this place to feel like home, where we can escape the Thunderdome and process the world. Where we can post dog pics and recipes and book recommendations. Where we support each other as we get sober, lose weight, embark on new business opportunities, creative endeavors, relationships and travels. I want this to be your oasis of sanity and laughter in an increasingly mad world. A creative outlet where you can share your spirit with us.
We might not have any control over the news cycle—but we can control our habits and attitude. It all starts with us. And hopefully a little piece of that will start here.
I take unplugging very seriously.
On a 17 hour road trip to see my brother in law graduate from flight school in Washington. Camping in the Jeep on our way out and on our way home will be the perfect way to unplug.
Hope you all have a fantastic day and weekend. The world is pretty gorgeous and I'm really glad I get to see it all. Hope you have the chance to unplug and do the same.
First and third pictures are camping in the mountains of Montana (it got a little chilly 🤷🏻♀️). Second picture is Painted Canyon in North Dakota.
Psst, hey pham! Pardon the shameless plug - all wreaths are 50% off through Sunday.
