It has occurred to me that the Writing Prompts, as varied as they may be, are getting stretched thin. The typical blog post ideas you’ll find online are rehashed forms of the usual questions, and they do not interest me. I’ve had more joy with going off the beaten track, and even more fun to […]
So, this Prompt idea comes from the National Writing Project, and whilst I won’t necessarily do every prompt on the list, I am certainly intrigued by some of them, and I will start at the beginning, with following: Here is the first one she suggests: “I am looking at”. Try going for the full ten […]
https://x.com/AurynJaneway/status/1810423064817021434 This is another prompt via Twitter, this time from Auryn Janeway. It’s a topic that surely a lot of us can appreciate: cake! So, what might be the bottom three cakes, as far as this meerkat is concerned? I’m placing lemon drizzle cake at the bottom. I like lemons, but not most lemon-flavoured products, […]
Originally posted on The Coalition of the Brave. It is no secret that I am not a Donald Trump fan. I consider him to be an oafish, dangerous, and ultimately incompetent man, as proven by his history of failure. but this does not mean that people should be resorting to violence to silence him.

https://x.com/flowerwasaqueen/status/1810420088505262183 Ordinarily, I’d embed the tweet here, but of late WordPress and Twitter refuse to cooperate with one another. The suggestion from Manorial Meerkat (you better believe that there are a great many meerkats of Twitter) was about vacations, and it had me pondering my top five places. This is a fluid list, for I […]
What is your favorite season of year? Why? Without a shadow of a doubt, summer is my favourite season. Meerkats are not built for cold weather, so when the sun comes out, it brings a smile to my face. I want to be able to enjoy the sunshine, I want blue skies, and cold beers […]
The day was the 10th of July 2004. It involved a trip to London, and a new, unfamiliar destination, namely Fenchurch Street station. I’ll confess to not really knowing of the station’s existence, but I had an important rendezvous. My journey was to meet someone. I had no idea as to how the future of […]
Welcome to what promises to be a very busy Meerkat Muse! There’s a lot of territory to cover here, but first, I need to pay special attention to today, the 10th of July… The First Day Yes, there is a Writing Prompt post with this title, and it just so happens to have gone live […]
Do I make use of bath salts? Should I make use of bath salts? To answer the first question, no, I do not use bath salts. As to whether or not I should, let us first consider what bath salts are. Simply put, they are items that add a level of fizz and pop to […]
What’s the one luxury you can’t live without? This is a good question, and a difficult one for me to immediately provide an answer to. There are a number of things that I would struggle to do without. Some of them are in fact quite trivial and I would only struggle in the sense that […]
I'm gonna confess that my microwaved coffee was not that bad, but it was not as good as the one I subsequently made.
