You’re a Few Days Late
You are probably thinking this is about missed periods or something from the title, but it’s not. It’s about missed “Prompts”..
And, to be clear, I didn’t miss the prompt, the damn prompt missed me…again!
I hate it when this happens.
You know what I mean. Surely it has happened to you too. For me it happens all the time…it’s a quarter after one and I’m a little drunk and I...
Just kidding and A) I am not drunk and B) It’s exactly 9:19 am PST this very second.
OK, back to the prompts and the problem!
It goes something like this…
You wake-up bleary eyed from staying up blogging into the wee hours and like Pavlov’s dogs you check the WPDailyPrompt and then, “WTF?”. Rubbing your eyes, you look again and yep, you saw it right, today’s prompt is to write about exactly what you just wrote [quite prolifically] about yesterday [or the day before…].
It’s not WordPress’s fault of course, but it does result in a response like this because my post was spot on to this prompt and because of the subject’s peripheral history I felt it was “current” and even interesting or poignant.
If nothing else, it was at least heartfelt.
Life IS a box of chocolates
It’s amazing how life works, how dots are connected and people are touched. I meet people nearly every day online that somehow I am otherwise connected to. I guess it’s that whole six degrees of separation theory.
I would even bet that I am somehow connected to you.

Hello! From YeahWrite..and popping by 🙂
Well…I don’t think it’s exactly a bad thing…I mean..you’re psychic! Well..to be spot on, for a post that WP picks as a prompt? That’s so cool…though I get that it would have been cooler if you had scheduled the post to post on the day that the prompt came out..
So…I’ll take you up on that challenge…how are we connected? 😀
