What motivated me today? This morning my writing motivation was a question about the difference between prose poetry and a short-short story. I did a little research to find out the difference.
I found that prose poetry focuses on metaphor, simile, and imagery with
passages of rhythm, rhyme, and meter. While a short-short story focuses
of character and plot. All right I already knew that, but there is
nothing wrong in doing a little research to find out that what you
already knew was right.
I was also motivated to pick up my Senior Commodity allotment today and go to one of the food banks to get some other items. My SNAP allotment was cut down the last time I applied, so I will have to go to other food banks
for some more food later this month. Next month I have to recertify for
the Senior Commodities, so I am motivated to make out the paperwork for that.
The
only other interesting thing I did today was to apply for a burial
plan. I am 69 years old and, even though I am in fair health, my
eventual death and burial is something I need to consider. I have a
burial lot paid for, but, as I found out when we buried my mother in
2012, there are other costs besides the lot and the casket. The burial
plan will cost about $50.00 a month which means I am now motivated to
figure out where that $50.00 will come from. You see, I am living on a
fixed income so that money cuts into something else. However, I have to
consider the extra cost of burying my body when my soul passes into the
next world.
