The writing prompt for today, given by Creative Writing Prompts.com, is #83:
"What reward would you like to give yourself after you write 500 words?"
The first thing that pops into my head is the current
craving, which is Nora Roberts books. I’d love to get “The Perfect Neighbor”
(my all-time favorite), or the dark pink book that has “Best-Laid Plans” and “Loving
Jack” in it. I forget what it’s called. The next reward I would like would be a
trip to Burger King right now. I’m really craving a Whopper.
A reward for writing 500 words can’t be too big, but I
wouldn’t mind perfect weather for tomorrow (I’m going to Six Flags). Other
rewards that fall into the small, easily-accomplished category is for my
swimsuit to not malfunction, a bag of butterscotch candy, or a vividly fantastic
dream tonight.
I’d like a Princess Bride dvd; that’d be nice. I’d like the
necessary wires and such to hook my stereo speakers up to my laptop. Those seem
a little big for just 500 words. Some Turkey Hill iced tea would be nice.
Southern Sweet Tea, please. A pretty pink nail polish; all I have is a super
light one and a couple of dark reds. What’s ten bucks to ya? 500 words?
A pack of crayons would be cool. A cupcake. The “Into the
Woods” soundtrack. A pack of cheap bic pens so customers stop stealing my
expensive ones. A mug of really really good coffee tomorrow morning. Amaretto syrup,
please. A shoulder massage.
Pink staples for my stapler. A light-green headband. A spiffy
flowerpot for my ivy plant, Alan. I’d love to have my kitty back. I’d like a
poster of Jack Johnson, Casting Crowns, or Relient K.
I’d like an authentic signed photo from any of the
following: Angelina Jolie, Alan Rickman, George Lucas, Harrison Ford, Barbra
Streisand, Jim Davis, Johnny Depp, or Cary Elwes.
I would like to not fight with Chas for two weeks. Is that
worth 500 words, or is that too much?
I’d like to go to the beach.
I would like to get accepted at Drexel.
I’d like to take out a loan and get a car.
If I write 500 words, can I never have to go to the dentist
again?
It would be neat if Chas, Reva, or Zach called me tonight
just to talk, even if I’m asleep. That would be worth 500 words, I think.
I’d like a small, light desk lamp for my vanity table, which
has become my scrapbooking table. I’d like the next dvd Blockbuster sends me (Wallace
and Gromit) to be worthwhile and funny. I’d like 88.9 FM to come in on my
stereo instead of being stupid static. I’d like y100 to come back. I’d like to
wake up and get ready while listening to Preston
and Steve. 500 words should be worth a good hair day, right?
It’d be neat to see someone I know and miss tomorrow at the
park.
I’d like to be allowed to burn incense in the house (my dad
has this thing where his house burned completely to the ground three times when
he was a kid…so no candles/incense/fire/etc in the house is allowed). I’d like
someone else to clean my sink, mirror, and toilet instead of me. I’d like my trash
to be taken out and my desk dusted. French toast tomorrow for breakfast would
be awesome and totally worth 500 words.
I’d like my mom to stop freaking out about monkeys on her
car and just go on the safari drive tomorrow. But that is totally worth like a
thousand words or something because it ain’t gonna happen.
Alright, that’s 588 words. I’d better get something good! =P
