I was informed earlier today that World Turtle Day was two days ago. Do people nowadays really have nothing better to do than make up random holidays observing completely random things?

Does that mean I can make a World Parkzer Day to spread awareness about myself?

The Daily Post at WordPress.com

Topic #118: Make a prediction about something you think will happen next week.

Next week, I predict that I will eat and sleep.

That short response reminds me of the handful of people who have contacted me regarding my recent responses to the Daily Post topics, and my non-participation in the Daily Shoot assignments.

The primary reason it appears like I’m slacking off on the Daily Post prompts is because I don’t really like them very much. I realize that it’s extremely difficult to make good topics every single day for a full year, but a lot of the topics they provide either require too much personal introspection, which I’m not willing to do in my public blog, or don’t prompt enough creative thinking to write something interesting.

As for the Daily Shoot assignments, I think they’re facing the same problem of running out of good prompts. Most of the assignments they’re releasing now are slight variations or blatant repeats of previous assignments.

This doesn’t mean that I’m going to completely stop doing Daily Post or Daily Shoot, but I’ll be cutting down a lot like I already have, and I’ll either write concise, short responses to Daily Post, or take photographs for Daily Shoot with moderation, and only do assignments I think will yield good results.
