A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in Sammi’s Comment Section.
GUILTY PLEASURE
I’m a streaming junkie.
I’ve binged on Star Trek from the original series through Deep Space Nine.
Illogical?
Asinine?
Perhaps.
Anxiously I await the next season of Picard.
Fascinating.
Last month I watched both seasons of Shtisel, an Israeli series about a Haredi household.
Currently, I’m gorging my senses on Heaven’s Garden. It’s a Korean family series.
Subtitles.
Oh, my square eyes.
I must confess,
Sometimes I feel like Nero fiddling while Rome burns.

Yes indeed. You are really binging out. Good use of the word. Lol.

I got a kick out of hearing you read this, especially the comparison to Nero in that sweet, guilty/not guilty voice 🙂 Wonder if Nero would have been content binge-watching the Rome HBO series instead of starting that fire!

Dear Dora,
Thank you for such a sweet compliment. You’ve made me smile. 😀 Back to Heaven’s Garden. 😉

Rochelle,
I’ve got to check out this show as well as the Israeli one to see what the attraction is! It’s easy to get in a rut of watching mysteries, which is what I seem to be doing these days, lol.
Aleichem shalom,

Dear Dale,
What can I say? I’m even picking up a few Korean words here and there. It’s fun to see how alike we are despite differing languages, features and skin tones. Beneath it all, we’re red-blooded human beings. Thank you for your affirmations.
Shalom and lotsa Netflix generated hugs,

Why not? I learned my first Japanese words thanks to Shogun 😉 Then I learned a few more in karate.
Yes. We are way more alike than we are different. I wish more people would see that.

I’ve just binge-watched Unorthodox on Netflix. It was mostly in Yiddish, so I spent a lot of time reading subtitles, but it was well worth it. Tonight? SVU I think!

Hey, Rochelle,
A double treat in your written and spoken words.
I’ve decided that either you never sleep, or you magically have more than 24 hours in your days.
Very well done all around.

Dear Bill,
According to my husband, I’ve done nothing but watch the same show for days. Close. But not entirely accurate. I went to a ladies get together yesterday and went swimming this morning. 😉 At any rate, I just watched the last episode, so I guess I’ll start a painting.
thank you for your kind words. (Yes, I do sleep, I’m just up very early in the morning. I love those first few hours to myself.)
Shalom,
Rochelle

Ok, Rochelle.
I see all that you do and have done.
“How does she find the time?”
I agree with early mornings, unless they are too early.

‘Star Trek’ is the only thing from the ’60’s I’ve never been the least bit interested in. Assuming someone enjoys that kind of thing, streaming makes it so easy

I never watched DS9 when it first ran. I really enjoyed it streaming. I still love the original.
