I repeated the weekend write-in prompt to myself over and over again.

I couldn't think of anything to write, not a poem, an anecdote, a joke, not even a little drabble – NOTHING!

Then I tried another tactic. Maybe, if I stopped obsessing on the prompt word, I could think of something. I could always sneak the prompt into the story later. Yeah, it defeats the purpose of the prompt, but it might work. Besides, I've done it plenty of times before.

I hate to turn in a blank sheet for this week's assignment, but perhaps this is better than nothing.

This isn't worth a copyright!
