Jot

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

First is how lousy these writing prompts are. I was looking forward to this one because the Pirates were off yesterday so there was no game to write about. I am working on a couple of golf articles, one on putting grips and the other on the dastardly golf ball that the USGA wants to change, but neither one is ready yet. Then the word jot caught my eye. The definition of jot is to write briefly or hurriedly. This makes the writing prompt seem even worse. Then I looked up the definition of prompt, which is to move to action. Today’s prompt by definition wants us to write something quickly and keep it short. I am out in California right now visiting grandkids, watching lots of grandkids sports and having a great time. It’s early in the morning and another beautiful day is about to begin. Even a lousy writing prompt can’t spoil that. I hope everyone else is lucky enough to have a wonderful day.
