Prompt: What is my superpower?
I feel like we've done this challenge before, and I suspect I mentioned that I've never broken a bone (and listen up, O ye Gods and Goddesses, that was not a challenge!) but that I felt like my real superpower was explaining technical computer stuff in ordinary-person English. I might have mentioned that troubleshooting technology could also qualify.
All of which is still valid!
I was trying to think of whether there's anything else I'd add to that, but what I'm coming up with is, well...
Writing.
Okay, but writing as a superpower? Well might you ask.
Yes. Writing as a superpower. Writing as an act of active imagination, writing as a way of using that imagination to keep myself sane here in the collapse of the Republic in 2025, writing as a way of thinking -- and working -- through my issues, maybe even writing as a way of helping other people. It's fucking magic, my friends, undervalued and under-appreciated though it often is.
Writing is a superpower.

Writing is definitely a superpower.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, LASR repeated some of the prompts this year, including this one.
Yeah, I've been trying not to repeat my answers from previous years.
DeleteAll great superpowers, Michael. Writing definitely qualifies. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for coming by!
DeleteAll excellent superpowers, Michael, with writing being the most powerful. I didn't even think of writing. But it's such a gift to be able to bring something into the world that never existed before. That's what I love most about writing, anyway.
