November Writing Prompts

Looking for the Light

I’m so excited to see that Sherly at A Chronic Voice is feeling better and hosting the November Writing Prompts this month.

 

What the 2022 November Writing Prompts are About & How to Participate

The linkups are a monthly get together for anyone with a chronic illness, mental disorder or disability. An opportunity to share, to listen, and to learn from one another through shared writing prompts. I also think it’s a great way to provide insight into life with chronic pain, from many different points of view.

All you have to do is write using at least three of the writing prompts listed below, and publish it on your blog, or to a free writing platform like Medium. Then click on the blue ‘Add Link’ button to add your blog post to this page. Voilà, you’re now part of the linkup party!

Here are the November Prompts

Finishing

Fatiguing

Easing

Comforting

Wishing

 I’m choosing three this month, Easing, Fatiguing, and Comforting.

Easing

I bought a bicycle to cruise around the neighborhood and the park nearby. Bike riding was one of my favorite hobbies growing up and in my early 30s. My balance is wacky so I don’t know how this will work. My goal is to ride to the park with my camera to enjoy the ducks and squirrels. This is my motivation to get some exercise on the days I’m able. 

Fatiguing

I have been experiencing Fibromyalgia flares back to back for close to two months and fatigue has ruled my world. I have spent anywhere between a half to a full day in bed almost every day. When I’m not in bed, it’s such a treat. The pain in my hips has left me unable to put pressure on my hip which means I limp a lot. This has been a Tsunami flare, in all the years I’ve had Fibromyalgia, I have never encountered one like this. 

Comforting

I only go out of the house for doctor’s appointments, which leaves me bored on days I feel good. I’ve started adding to my collection of houseplants. I went from seven plants to over 30! This has been a lifesaver, I get to watch the growth and enjoy it when a baby shows up. I’ve tried my hand at succulents for the first time to mixed results and bought a Rubber Tree. They only need attention once a week and so far that has not been an issue for me. Now I have my own garden in the house during winter instead of dead plants.

    1. When feeling so bad I didn’t do anything. My new medication has really helped. Yes, the nervous breakdown took me down for two weeks but that was a bump in the road. I’ve had so many. I have two large plants that are new and need repoting and those I don’t get so excied about but this is the week to do it. Luckily I bought this big plastic mat that snaps at each corner so the dirt doesn’t spill everywhere so I can do them in the house. I a bit gets on the floor it’s easy to vacuum. When I done I take it outside and hose it down, ler dry and fold it back up real small. I founf it on Amazon. I have two sizes so I can get both small and large plants repotted. So much easier than going outside to transplant. Have a great day.

  2. Thanks for sharing this, I always enjoy reading these posts on the Chronic Voice writing prompts from others. So sorry to hear you’re having such a lot of trouble with the fibro flare and hope it passes soon. Enjoy the bicycle riding, that sounds like a great plan.
