Finger Point Prompt – Bullet
I guess everyone knows how this works. I open a book to a random page, and then, with my eyes closed, I point. The word or words closest to my finger is the prompt. Today, I opened The Last Drive to page 171, and the word “bullet” ended up nearest my finger. So that’s the […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Spruce

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Confidence
When brewing coffee using a magic machine, you have to have confidence that everything will work. Much like a sophisticated car, the magic machine does not suffer incompetent fools lightly.
