#SoCS Dec. 26/2020 – Box

It’s Boxing Day, and it’s also SoCS with Linda!


Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “box.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

It would be remiss of me to take this prompt, and not mention the biggest box lover in the world… our kitty, Sonu Singh.

You all know the love cats have of boxes… Well our boy is no different. The smaller, the better.

In fact, he won’t let the fact that he is a tad overweight stop him from placing his fat behind into the smallest of boxes, and they may collapse around him, but he won’t care. In boxes, on boxes, outside boxes

Where I fits, I sits.

So the other day, we took delivery of something, and there was a HUGE box for him… Would this be the box for him?

See. Huge! Well, he sniffed around it, and we even got him to sit inside it, but after going round in circles for a bit, he hopped out. Was this box ‘too big’ for Sonu Singh?

Well, yes, and no. It wasn’t fun to sit in because he couldn’t see anything, but we found a solution, and this is where Sonu Singh spent most of the last two days…

bsh

I think it’s going to be Boxing Day every day for this young Kitty!

Where I fits I sits
That's the feline way, you know
Big or small, who cares?

#SoCS Dec. 19/2020 – Magnet

Linda’s #SoCS Prompt:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “magnet.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

The first thing that came to mind was reader magnet.

I’ve been working on a reader magnet, since the middle of the lockdown, but it came to a halt because school started up, and well, life hasn’t been the simplest, recently, for me.

Do you know what a reader magnet is?

It is, for want of a better word, the bait to reel in some new readers, by offering a free short story, novella, or sometimes even a full length book, in exchange for people signing up to your newsletter.

I’m trying to build that up too, but I haven’t even had a chance to send any out, yet!

Maybe this Christmas, I can do it. At least send one out! (Sans reader magnet, though, as that won’t be quite ready!)

#SoCS Dec. 12/2020 – Mini/Maxi

Linda’s #SoCS prompt this week:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “mini/maxi.” Use “mini” (the smallest of something) or “maxi” (the largest) or both in your post. Have fun!

When I was just a girl, 
A Mini was my dream
A little car to pootle about in
I'd polish it to a gleam

I also wanted to wear one
Not the car, the miniskirt
But I was always worried
I'd get accosted by a pervert!

These days I prefer a larger car
To cart the family everywhere
And I don't do the car wash
That's the kids' nightmare!

And as for those miniskirts,
I've not the legs, no more
So a maxi works just fine
A skirt down to the floor!

#SoCS Dec. 5/2020 – List

Linda’s #SoCS Prompt:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “list.” Make or talk about a list. Enjoy!

Lists.

Time to talk lists.

I’m a Virgo, I love lists.

Lists help me get through all sorts of situations from work-related issues and to-do jobs, and home ones too, like shopping lists, or packing lists for when we go away.

But my biggest, constant list is my TBR (To Be Read) list.

I have less unread physical books, so my ones to read are in a bag, usually by my bedside, but currently at my inlaws house, as we pack bits and bobs up ready for whenever that dream house comes along. That’s my TBR pile.

My list, and I have a proper list written out, (or typed, actually) of my e-books currently on my Kindle, is LOOOOONG!

It’s got the ARCS from NetGalley that I have to read, and all the other books I have purchased over the last few years, that haven’t been read yet. In the hundreds, it is…

Then there is the wishlist on my Amazon account. All the books I like the look of, but won’t buy until the rest of the list calms down…

Did I mention that I love a good list?

How many books on your TBR pile or list?

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Nov. 28/2020 – Opt

Linda’s #SoCS prompt this week:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “opt.” Use it as a word or find a word with “opt” in it and base your post on that. Have fun!

If there was a button to press, to opt out of 2020, would you?

Sitting the face of lockdown 2.0, about to head into tier 3 (the strictest of restrictions) for another couple of weeks, it would be easy to adopt the stance that I have hated every moment of this year.

It’s been tough. True.

But would I choose to erase it?

No.

2020 has been momentous for me, for a few reasons.

  • #1 My debut was released!
  • #2 We refurbished the house
  • #3 We put the house on the market so we can concentrate on finding our forever home.
  • #4 I got a promotion.
  • #5 Did I mention, I finally released my book baby!

The world has seen some awful moments, yes, but it’s the little glimmers of joy we should try and show some positivity for.

That’s how I get through life, anyway!

Just opt to adopt
A positive spin on life
It makes things seem brighter
