- Year of the Horse – I don’t read about this in detail because I don’t believe in zodiac animals. Catholics are told from the pulpit that the zodiac, astrology, tea leaves, Tarot cards and etc are superstition.
- Practice – I’ve tried to practice some things I can’t do, but I’ve constraints and so remain stagnant. Eg. I need patience, time, ideas to write fiction.
- Something you want – I want to return to drawing simple comics. Either single panel, or a short story in some frames.
- Five books to get rid of – pop psychology books. These tend to drag and elongate the basic facts, to make up volume for a book.
- Only you know – Not only I know, but many others are also in the know, of secrets that are no longer secrets.
- Favorite muffin – is the one that fills my stomach.
- Reading – I’m reading many books, writing their reviews and drawing portraits, fan art etc. for the book reviews. Peep inside – https://booksreviewsandmore.com
- Tracking sleep – this prompt from Amy is as if Amy has been reading my posts about insomnia, sleeplessness, being awakened, telepathy, magic & etc. This great prompt has given me the idea to record my data in a table and later maybe draw it into a graph.
- Pattern: Chinese lanterns. I don’t celebrate Chinese New Year.
This week’s prompts are like the best for me. I’m stimulated enough to write responses for them.
