therealljidol The new prompt has been posted - therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1143356.html
as well as the results from last week -therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1143117.html
***
I had another interview yesterday that seemed to go pretty well. Who knows though... I've been walking out of most of them feeling good. Maybe I'm just delusional. :)
***
Did anyone have ideas that popped right into their head when they saw the prompt? Anyone having difficulties with it?
***
How is your week going so far?

Date: 2024-07-11 06:51 am (UTC)I feel like the original definition Gary posted might give the idea it's using some forbidden knowledge or taking up some property someone has left behind and claiming it as one's own. I think it really is mainly about looking back at your past and taking lessons from it ... though of course LJI is all about anyone's interpretation of a topic.
Also for what it's worth most of the Ghanaians I polled about the word yesterday did not actually recognize it. So I think maybe it was popularized by the movie of the same name and thus oddly got more recognition outside Ghana than within? Or my contacts are from the wrong region ::shrug::

Date: 2024-07-10 02:02 pm (UTC)There are several overlapping interpretations:
Taking from the past what is good and bringing it into the present in order to make positive progress through the benevolent use of knowledge.
Going back and reclaiming our past so we can move forward; so we understand why and how we came to be who we are today.
One basic and important meaning still lies; one’s past is an important aspect of one’s future. So in order to make the best of one’s future, one must visit one’s past.

Date: 2024-07-10 02:14 pm (UTC)So funny thing with the prompt: early yesterday, an idea popped into my head and I wrote it down in case it would fit a prompt this season. Wouldn’t you know, it’s perfect for this prompt! As soon as I read the definition, I thought, “huh, isn’t that fitting.” Now, I’ll see if I can execute the idea the way I’m thinking, something new may pop into my head before I get down to write like last week, so we’ll see.

Date: 2024-07-10 02:21 pm (UTC)I spent the day w kids at Kings Island yesterday riding rides. It was Tie-Breaker's 1st visit and HoneyB's 1st time on a couple of "adult" rides she is now tall enough for. (no coasters yet tho) Best blue "Smurf" ice cream in the land!
I got something posted...originated from a dream I had a couple of yrs ago that I'd already recorded and written about. It's a work in progress as far as a "big" story goes.

Date: 2024-07-10 02:31 pm (UTC)I’m not sure where I’ll go with the topic yet, but we shall see. It usually takes a day or two of percolating.

Date: 2024-07-10 03:08 pm (UTC)I had an immediate idea for the prompt, but that was the case last week, too, lol. We'll see if I can actually WRITE this time. 😉

Date: 2024-07-10 05:49 pm (UTC)I have the immediate concept grasped to tackle... buyt what story, what element, what will interest readers, what will interest ME to create, and how do I create? what do I create?

Date: 2024-07-10 04:58 pm (UTC)My mind went immediately to "political rant," which is not the kind of thing anyone is going to want to read, and it's being said everywhere right now any way.
My god, 3 entries are up already. Who ARE you people?!?
I hope the interview bears fruit, Gary! And not the rotten, worm-infested kind on your neighbor's tree that hangs over the edge of your property. :O

Date: 2024-07-10 06:24 pm (UTC)Right??? I mean, sometimes I’m in early, but not that early! It’s an interesting prompt, I like that I get to learn new words and phrases that I probably wouldn’t otherwise encounter.
I’ll be honest, I’m not much for rants, especially the political sort, but if it’s well written and well thought out, I’d probably vote for it regardless, lol!

Date: 2024-07-11 02:29 am (UTC)(I þink unless it goes obviously bad, most people will tend feel good about þeir prospects after an job interview. Heck, on my few interviews during my furlough during the depþs of COVID 2020, for most of þem I þought I had a chance. And the few not, were obvious misfits between me and þe job/company, I þink brought on by þe people posting the job being unfamiliar wiþ þe process... I did get called back to my job, after 7 monþs I þink...)
noþing popped into mind from the prompt post itself, oþer þan a slight feeling of dread, the þought þat I may end up using boþ byes already... but after going to þe actual page at Berea College, I þink I will have enough to percolate on for a day or 2.
