11 Days Remain

A continuation of my #last100days2023 project

Welcome to my #last100dayproject!

What will you do with the remaining 11 days of 2023?

Today’s prompt:

What image or memory comes to mind when you think of “vicissitudes”?

Vicissitudes are events or situations that occur by chance, or difficulties that are beyond one's control.

This word came to me from a Substack note from Susan Cain. In another Substack about Jim Morrison’s notebooks, I learned that when he found a new word he would create a story around it. I love this idea and have adopted it as my own.

I invite you to search your notebooks and drives for the prompt word and see what drafts you have that you can resurrect and revise.

What will you write today?

• A list

• A metaphor

• A memory

• One sentence

• A conversation imagined between you and a stranger

Whatever you choose - have fun!

Happy writing!

I invite you to leave a comment!

You belong simply because you are here.
