Preptober Prompt: Perfect November


If I could create the perfect November, I would be in a cabin on the outskirts of the woods, not too deep because I’m scary.  The cabin would be next to a lake.  There would be no distractions of any kind and I could write without any interruptions or hindrances.  The words would flow from me like the river outside my window.

I would be able to view nature from any angle of my writing area, which would be fitted with the best of the best technology around and my internet would ALWAYS work.  Meal time would be great because they were prepared by a phenomenal chef would knew how to cook the food I like, the way I like it.

No one would interrupt me.  Yaaaas!  There would be no worries of work because I’d be off for the whole month.

Lastly, there would be no illnesses from allergies, headaches, or anything else.

WELL… back to reality.  I'm going to find a cabin to write in one of these days.  (Got that on my bucket list.)

Read Again


I read again today.  After another shooting of a black woman in her own house by a white police officer, I couldn’t bring myself to write or prep.

Lord, I’m so tired of this foolishness.  WHEN WILL IT END?

A side note… I’m thinking about adding this to my novel.  What kind of writer would I be if I didn’t speak to the current culture and events?
