Yes man

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? Today’s prompt Today’s prompt is kinda harsh. It’s somehow a slap in the face with respect to the way I have worked lately. Unfortunately, I feel that I say ‘yes’ to way too many things. The weird thing is, with theContinue reading “Yes man”

Heavenly weather

What is your favorite type of weather? Today’s prompt I could go all cliche and type some blabla about the sun. I do like sun. Who doesn’t. But I also like insane weather. Like ten years ago, when we were in Laos, cycling on a couple of islands in the Mekong river delta. We hadContinue reading “Heavenly weather”

Teachers

Who was your most influential teacher? Why? Today’s prompt I liked today’s prompt. In life we often have many teachers and mentors, and we tend to forget what they might have contributed to the path we have chosen. Sometimes these are real teachers, educated to educate. Quite often, they are parents, trying to teach youContinue reading “Teachers”

More laughs

What do you wish you could do more every day? Make people laugh. Including myself. There’s nothing wrong with joining in on a laugh. A laugh is the cure to almost everything. I took the wrong profession, because I can tell you this: working in ecology in 2023 is not very funny. It is deeplyContinue reading “More laughs”

What and where are not important. It’s the how and when!

I like tattoos. I have tattoos. I design tattoos. I tattooed my own tattoos. I want more tattoos. A prompt about tattoos needs an answer. What tattoo do you want and where would you put it? Today’s prompt I like the concept of tattoos. Carrying something special with you on your skin is something thatContinue reading “What and where are not important. It’s the how and when!”

“You are the best (insert whatever)…”

I’m a bit out of energy lately, particularly after having a long day at work, so I sometimes struggle to find original subjects to write on. At least these WordPress prompts give me that. Something to write about, without having to worry about a subject. I find that you can still be creative and practiceContinue reading ““You are the best (insert whatever)…””

I’m Dutch – what else would you expect?

As I like to travel around a bit in my free time, I felt that I couldn’t skip today’s prompt here on WordPress. A prompt about modes of transportation. I like it. You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? Today”s prompt The easy answer to this one would be ‘itContinue reading “I’m Dutch – what else would you expect?”

It can only get better

Today’s WordPress writing prompt is an interesting question, that I thought would be fun to ponder on. Let’s see where it goes. How would you rate your confidence level? This is it… The prompt First of all, it’s hard to really judge one’s confidence levels. Should I give it a score? Maybe a percentage, whereContinue reading “It can only get better”

Odd prompts, with obvious choices.

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Well, if this isn’t an obvious answer, I don’t know what is. I would totally compare to a long-bodied cellar spider, or Pholcus phalangioides. These spiders are also more commonly known as daddy long legs, but as this is a synonym for many fairly unrelated arthropods,Continue reading “Odd prompts, with obvious choices.”

Simple guy

What are three objects you couldn’t live without? This is a pretty difficult question to answer without objectifying women or children. I obviously wouldn’t last a day without them, and it sums up to three. But that would be the easy answer, wouldn’t it? I think pretty much anything could be lived without, if thereContinue reading “Simple guy”
