Monday Moment #81: a writing prompt for your work-in-progress

(If you’ve already read this then skip past all the italicized blah-di-blah and start writing.) Monday Moments are writing prompts for your work-in-progress. They are questions that come from my experiences and are my favorite way to find out more about my characters. I find I learn a lot. Some of it I use. Some of it I don’t. But I always, always get to know my character(s) better just by answering the question. I hope you do too. )

I think everyone and their dog (and there was a dog at the conference, her name was Dusty) has blogged about being at the big conference last weekend. Everyone but me. *hangs head* But do I get a bit of a pass since I did blog and blog and blog some more while I was there?

No, not really.

Well, okay then. It's just how it is. (I promise I will get it done soon.) Re-entry has been busy, and the first chance I've had to do it was today. But guess what? I didn't. (But I am getting this Moment done.)

See, today instead of doing the "shoulds" I did the "wants" (the restful wants). I slept in until 7:15. Yes, I know that's sad, but that is sleeping in to me. I drank coffee. And perhaps had some bites of brownie with it (2 or 3 or 4 or more). Yes, I admit it.  I finished a fantastic book (TELL ME A SECRET by Holly Cupala). I watched a movie with my fam (Percy Jackson). Some kettle corn and M&Ms might have been involved. I also did a bit of snuggling with the hubby and the littlest girlie. And still their is one more movie on the agenda (Kick Ass).

It was a lovely day of wants with no guilt about the shoulds. None!

So...Hugs. Kisses. Time for movie number two. And apparently the second bowl of kettle corn the hubby just set between us. Well...okay! Why not?

If your character had a day of wants instead of shoulds, what would s/he do?
