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!

TOPIC: Let's finish the year strong!
We will be discussing 4th quarter goals professionally and personally. How do you want to finish your year off? What are things you have been putting off that you want to complete? Come prepared to get motivated and with any questions you have for me! Let's do this, Pham!
This will be for subscribers only.
As you all know, my trip to South Africa was life-changing. Right now they are in need of a boat to protect an island getting decimated by poachers and I volunteered to help raise the funds.
I realize a lot of the focus for fundraising is on Afghanistan and Haiti (rightfully) but I don't want to forget about the folks who are fighting the war to conserve our most endangered species.
In honor of what you've given me as a community, my dog, and what we need right now in the world, I've suggested we name the boat HOPE in their local dialect.
I've put down $1000 but anything you can give to help would be amazing.
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.
