Beating around the bush!

New year starts with a bang bad weather accompanied by cold and fever! I did a cheat post yesterday and day before yesterday(ok, today too!). As I keep wondering what to post on this blog and browse aimlessly, I decided I wanted prompts! I exploited most of prompts from Maya last year, so I need a fresh bunch. So here they are, inspired from here. I handpicked them as per my taste. Feel free to use them if you would like to!

• You’re locked in a room with your greatest fear. Describe what’s in the room.
• Describe your last attempt to learn something that did not come easily to you.
• When you were 16, what did you think your life would look like? Does it look like that? Is that a good thing?
• “Think global, act local.” Write a post connecting a global issue to a personal one.
• If you could un-invent something, what would it be? Discuss why, potential repercussions, or a possible alternative
• Write about the last disagreement you had with a friend or family member — from their perspective.
• Write a piece about a typically “local” experience from where you come from as though it’s an entry in a travel guide.
• Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a member of the opposite sex for a day? What do you think life would be like?
• Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a child. What became of it?
• Describe your ultimate escape plan (and tell us what you’re escaping from).
• Tell us about a sensation — a taste, a smell, a piece of music — that transports you back to childhood.
• Head to your favorite blog. Scroll down to the third post in the list. Take the third sentence in the post, and work it into a new post of your own.
• Go back to a blog post you always thought could be better, or were unsatisfied with — now, fix it.
• Pause whatever you’re doing, and ask the person nearest you what they’re thinking about (call someone if you have to).Write a post based on it.
• Have you ever had a random encounter or fleeting moment with a stranger that stuck with you?
• Interview your favorite fictional character.
• Tell us about something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail (and tell us why you haven’t tried it yet).
• Write a review of your life — or the life of someone close to you — as if it were a movie or a book.
• Often, our blogs have taglines. But what if humans did, too? What would your tagline be?
• We all have something we’d like to write about, but that
• doesn’t really “fit” our blog. Write it anyway.
• Who is the one person you hope isn’t reading your blog? Why?
• You win a contest to build your dream home. Draft the plans.
• If you could be a “fly on the wall” anywhere and at any time in history, where and when would you choose?
• Do you consider yourself funny? What role does humor play in your life? Who’s the funniest person you know?
• Grab the nearest book. Open it and go to the tenth word. Do a Google Image Search of the word.  Write about what the image brings to mind.
• Explain your biggest regret — as though to a small child(probably your kid).
• If bloggers had their own Halloween and could go from blog to blog collecting “treats,” what would your blog hand out?
•  Was there a toy or thing you always wanted as a child, during the holidays or on your birthday, but never received? Tell us about it.
