John Holton is our host for Writer’s Workshop. Here are this week’s prompts:

  1. Write a post inspired by the word iron.
  2. Write a post in exactly nine (9) sentences.
  3. What letter grade would you give to 2025? How did you come up with grade? What areas need to change to raise that grade?
  4. If you had to walk away from one technology in your life, what would it be?
  5. Think of your least favorite movie or TV show. What one change would make it your most favorite movie or TV show?
  6. Tell us about a cheap friend.

It’s January 1st and society says make a resolution, change your life, you can be anything you want to be. It’s a fresh start, or so they say.

Tired of carbs or sugar, tobacco or alcohol, top forty radio or the color blue? Alrighty then! Swear off it, see what happens next. If you think about it — I mean really think about it — we’re walking around in January like half the people aren’t teetering on the edge of whatever healthy living resolution they made on New Year’s Eve.

Seems a little like rolling the dice in a world where far too many people are already tap dancing on a ledge ten stories up. But some of us like the gamble so I guess this falls under choose your adventure.

Welcome to January — the whole world’s your oyster.
