366 Days of Writing Prompts – Day 67

Seven days

You wake up tomorrow morning to find all your plans have
been cancelled for the next seven days and $10,000 on your
dresser. Tell us about your week.

Well, it is early March and still quite cold and I don’t really have that many plans to be cancelled except for writing my mystery story and I cannot take a week off writing it. So I guess I will relocate for a week to write it instead.

Maybe take a plane ride out to San Diego where it is warmer and put myself up in a decent hotel room close to the ocean. Spend my mornings writing the mystery and then my evenings roaming the beach. Not sure if $10,000 would be enough money to make all of that possible, but just for the hell of it, I will time travel back to the late 1940s which is the time period of my mystery story and then $10,000 will go farther. Hey, it’s my fantasy here, so I can create time travel for it!

Maybe even take in some local charm, like a night club similar to the one in the novel, take in a show or two. Eat at a great Italian restaurant one night. Drink some bourbon and smoke a lot of cigarettes and use an old typewriter to work on the novel. Maybe I will become a local celebrity, if people find out I am a writer.

Gotta love these fantasy moments first thing in the morning… ha!

How about you, dear readers? If you find yourselves without anything to do for 7 days and $10,000 to spend, what would you do? Share with me in comments.
