The One Minute Writer

From The One Minute Writer blog:

Who's got the time to journal daily? You do.

How it works

1. Read the daily writing prompt.

2. Push "Play" on the timer on the right side of the screen.

3. Spend 60 seconds or less writing a response to the daily prompt.

Today's Writing Prompt: If you could live for a year at a different time in history, what time would you choose?

My response: As a child, I always wanted to live like Laura Ingalls Wilder. I wore a bonnet and loved reading by candlelight. I know that there were extreme hardships of being a pioneer family but I feel like today we (I) spend so much time wrapped up in events, issues, arguments, jobs and other crap that are meaningless in the grand scheme of things perhaps getting back to the bare basics would help put everything into proper perspective.
