PROMPT RESPONSE

How To Grow Your Publication with These Top 5 Prompts

Spoiler alert: Be sincerely relational with prompt responses to the TBIN June Interview.

I am late to the game of answering prompts from publications, but you know the saying, “better late than never”. TheBrainIsANoodle has been super supportive of its writers and readers, infinite claps to Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她).

Even it’s a relatively new publication, it’s been fun to exercise the writing muscle in a creative way. Besides, we should never despise small and humble beginnings. Just look at how Apple was created.

Every month, they have prompts to kick the ball rolling and it helps to grow the publication too. Sometimes we all need a kick in our butts to get out of our inner critic and analysis paralysis.

Here are the top 5 prompts as suggested for the month of June.

1. Who are 5 of your favorite musicians/ bands?

This is a tough one. My tastes and interests in music have changed over the last 2 decades.

Growing up, I listened to pop ballads in English, Canto, and Mandopop, and Disney! I mean, who doesn't like Disney soundtracks? My taste can alternate between classical and the 60s-70s oldies.

Besides “favorite” is overrated for me. I struggle in deciding favorites partly due to the inner justice in me. I know I am overthinking now. {Breathe}

My top 5 randomly top-of-my-head musicians and bands based on yesteryears and present.

20 years ago, it would be

  • 911 (I had a secret crush on Jimmy. )
  • Any Disney songs
  • Kenny G (I also had a secret crush for saxophonist)
  • Mariah Carey — Whitney Houston (a tie)
  • Ne-Yo

Present 2021, it would be

  • Any classical piece
  • Binaural beats and rhythms
  • Whitney Houston — Mariah Carey (still a tie)
  • Coldplay
  • Alicia Keys

2. What are your top 5 favorite fruits?

Fruits, glorious fruits. You are mostly citrus and juicy to my tastebuds.

  • Kiwi (only green ones)
  • All berries
  • Grapefruit
  • Apricot
  • Peckham Pear

3. What are your top 5 least favorite vegetables?

Didn’t our mamas teach us to eat our vegetables, else our teeth will all fall out? I generally love all vegetables but I tend to avoid:

  • Kang Kong (water spinach or water morning glory)
  • Beetroot
  • Potatoes
  • Yam
  • Corn

4. What are 5 times in your life where you wish you took more time to celebrate?

I have made peace in moving forward and having no regrets so this is forcing me to reflect. It’s an interesting question too as I am once again reminded how little I take time to celebrate the tiniest moments in life.

I suppose if I am granted a time machine, like the one from Doc in Back to the Future, I would go back in time to these 5 events to celebrate more.

  • After my last chemotherapy
  • When I completed my first and only bodybuilding figure competition
  • When I achieved my fitness feats and really strong flexible body
  • When my family went to Rome for the second time to visit my aunt
  • When one of my friends got married

5. What are 5 reasons that get you out of bed each morning?

My sleep pattern has been erratic since the pandemic hits. I am still working on it tenderly. Reasons to get out of bed each morning or whatever time may be can range between:

  • Catching the sun’s energy. Nothing like rising with the sun especially when you play your favorite song. It feels so energizing and a positive way to start the day.
  • Finishing a good book. You know that feeling when you can’t put a good read down but your eyelids are just so heavy. So you go to sleep thinking about the plot.
  • Having something to write on Medium. Because we are all living the writers’ life, I am sure some of you can relate to this.
  • Food When I thought of the delicious food I am about to make. And that can include coffee or tea or eggs made in 3 different ways.
  • Nature’s call Seriously though, a more realistic reason that definitely gets me out of the bed is the strong nature’s calling to pee! I mean, the bladder is full. Also, soulful sex, if I have a partner.

In all honesty from my experience, the main reason for getting out of bed each morning is knowing that I am living a life of purpose and contribution to humanity, so it gives me the motivation to get up and seize the day! Carpe diem right?
