Anna Aden Writes

I'm on a holiday break in Mallorca, Spain. So this means a I won't be writing the prompt. On holiday, I normally have a break from  the internet though it's difficult nowadays with free WiFi. The hotel is okay. A four star on the lower end of the scale - this means no kettle and renting the safe.   The higher end have more add ons. The room are tiny but functional and nice however in fairness it is a beach holiday destination so I doubt there is much lounging around. Food is okay. Superb beach. Everyone seems laid back and relaxed. 

Day 5 Make a list of things you enjoy doing.  Used to have an active list of things I enjoyed doing but nowadays I rarely do them due to work pressures and writing my novel-in-progress. These things sound simple but not so much but I'l list ten things.  Eating desserts but I need to calm down due to my teeth. Mostly bakery products, ice cream and some sweets or candy. I've got a sweet tooth but I'm measured since my last extraction.  Going to the cinema - though I haven't done this in years Writing stories though I'm still on the same one Taking writing courses - not time since I'm focusing on the story Reading books - this has taken a hit I used to love baking but watching my weight and time pressures Beach holidays - unwind time.  Singing but rarely do that anymore Drawing but that has taken a hit with the writing so no time. Visiting family  Hanging out on Scribophile but I should probably do less of that since it take up a lot of time. It's wind down ti

Day 4 Which Three Words Describe Me? As part of my goals I've been learning German so I thought it's easier to be less embarrassed and modest using a different language so I am going for  Klug - smart Schön - beautiful Wunderbar - wonderful.  Danke - thank you, 

Day 3 What are three of your most cherished values? Values? I think it's an overused concept and it's hard to tell. Values, values, values. What do I value in others and hopefully myself.  Compassion and kindness when under pressure. I can't think of a third. There are lots I can put down here but it would just be putting them down for the sake of putting them down.  Okay a third to an extent would be 'work ethic'.  

Day 2 - If you could live anywhere, where would you choose? Where I am right now in London. It's a boring answer however I am happy living where I am with family close by and in a magical city. If I could have a second home, it would be in the somewhere in the tropics with mangrove trees and a beach. A third home may be a ranch in the Rockies, or somewhere.  That was simple so catch you all in day three. 

I picked up a book called a Pocketful of  Self-Discovery - 100 prompts from a closing down sales of a popular stationary retailer. I don't know what to do with it so I thought I would blog the prompts and see how I do after a 100 days. Let's have a start date 9th July 2023 so looking at the 17th of October. Give us a bit of flex maybe the end of October.  According to this book,   self discovery is a life long journey of learning about yourself and unlocking your true potential. This book will use prompts to help you explore your inner thoughts and beliefs to kick-start your personal growth.  I'm not convinced and for the purposes of this challenge, I'll work within the remit of the 100 days or so. So maybe we are looking at 150 days here. There is a cute little graph but due to copyright I'm just doing something else. Anyway it promises Amazing Things Will Happen.
