Insert Theme Music Here – ThinkKit Prompt #19

Today’s ThinkKit prompt is to talk about what the “soundtrack of your year” has been. If I hadn’t already mentioned it I would’ve talked about Tori Amos’ Midwinter Graces (even if that’s only been the soundtrack of December for me), but since I’ve already talked about it I’ll have to pick something else. It’s sort of hard to choose. I listen Continue reading Insert Theme Music Here – ThinkKit Prompt #19

Lucky Number – ThinkKit Prompt #15

Today’s ThinkKit prompt is to write about a number that’s had some sort of significance in 2014. Well, I pick the number: I like the number 27. 9×3 = 27. 3³ = 27. 9, 3 and 7 are my favorite numbers so you can see why it would appeal to me. 2 is okay, I suppose, but given the other things Continue reading Lucky Number – ThinkKit Prompt #15

Twice Fortnightly – I’m Published!

Wow, guys, what a week it’s been! On Thursday, 11/12-2014, I published Going Home, my debut novella, on Amazon Kindle. I had planned to publish it on Saturday the 13th, but since I’d heard it could take a while for books to come up on the web I thought I’d upload it early. Color me surprised when it went live Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – I’m Published!

Look Outward, Look Inward – ThinkKit Prompt #14

Today’s ThinkKit prompt is to write about something you have discovered this year. Well, to keep it short and sweet, I recently discovered Tori Amos’ Christmas album Midwinter Graces and have been listening to it daily, sometimes non-stop on repeat, ever since. I really like the vibe of it. You should totally check it out. ThinkKit is a blog project, with daily Continue reading Look Outward, Look Inward – ThinkKit Prompt #14

Mulligan – ThinkKit Prompt #12

Yesterday’s ThinkKit prompt got overshadowed by me freaking out over how quickly Going Home was published on Amazon. Today the prompt is to wite about something from the last year that you wish you could do over (hence the rather lame title). I knew before I’d even finished reading the prompt what I’d write about. In October, I turned in Continue reading Mulligan – ThinkKit Prompt #12

Weird. Wild. Wacky. – ThinkKit Prompt #10

Today’s ThinkKit prompt, which I nearly forgot to do, is to write about something weird that happened to you in the last year. An odd coincidence perhaps, or an inexpiable series of events. The reason I almost forgot about the prompt was that I’m currently working on getting Going Home ready for publishing, and familiarizing myself with all the aspects of Scrivener’s Continue reading Weird. Wild. Wacky. – ThinkKit Prompt #10

Just Can’t Wait – ThinkKit Prompt #9

As you may have noticed, I ended up skipping my ThinkKit prompt yesterday. It was about rants and raves, encouraging bloggers to get up on the soapbox about some issue and I skipped it because: a) when I try to soapbox in writing it tends to become long and incoherent and I upset myself in the process of writing it Continue reading Just Can’t Wait – ThinkKit Prompt #9

Alla-Kazam! – ThinkKit Prompt #7

Today’s ThinkKit prompt encourages bloggers to think of one thing they would magically change in 2015 if they could. I always find those sorts of questions tricky. They make me feel like a contestant in one of those beauty pageants, where they’re supposed to say what they wish for and they all say “World Peace”. Because how can you not, right? Continue reading Alla-Kazam! – ThinkKit Prompt #7

Third Place – ThinkKit Prompt #6

Today’s ThinkKit prompt is about your “third home”, that place besides your home and your work where you spent lots of time this year. And honestly, I can’t think of one. I mean, I spend a fair bit of time at my folks’ place, at my best friend’s flat, at cafés and on the bus but… none of these stick Continue reading Third Place – ThinkKit Prompt #6

Aloha! – ThinkKit Prompt #5

Today’s ThinkKit is called “Aloha” and encourages bloggers to talk about something they’ve said goodbye, or hello, to during the year. Well, I intend to do both. This year I said hello to my new Twitter account  (@EmmaLindhagen for those of you who don’t know) and, eventually, goodbye to my old one. This might not seem like a big deal, but it Continue reading Aloha! – ThinkKit Prompt #5
