First off, thanks to Ben Hubberman for using my suggestion for the daily prompt on Friday. Read it here.
Today I will write about working myself in a corner using defense, excuse , effort and furry.
The last post I wrote about the cat worried me and I just couldn’t come up with an appropriate ending. And in my defense, I can say it was the busiest time ever for me, but that is really an empty excuse that doesn’t hold up–even I know that since I did find time to play scrabble. (but I’m talking creative effort here. That takes more effort than a round of scrabble.) Which is another excuse. I’m running out of them at this point.
Another writer found herself is a somewhat similar situation. I don’t know if she writes about cats or plays scrabble, but she sound a lot like me. Alienora’s response to the prompt is here.
But anyway, back to my situation. I hope it is alright that my little cast of characters in the cat story do not resolve their problem. I feel most sorry for the cat (surely his actions call for punishment) but if you love the furry friends like I do, it’s hard to imagine a harsh ending.
So forgive me. I worked myself in a corner and no matter how long I worried, those words just kept me a prisoner there and no amount of waiting would help. No my friends, that little tableau I painted will just have to stay frozen until some inspiration grabs me and set me free.
Perhaps someone can write their version of how it ended. Please do and I will post it. Maybe you could turn it into haiku or poetry. Ruth effectively used the prompt in prose. Another blogger wrote a haiku Here . Moving toward the light wrote a poem I can relate to.

You are welcome. Thanks for liking my post.
I am indeed elated to know that you loved my poetry, when I wrote this, I had no idea it was so good until now. Thanks.
Well, you are good. Continue on knowing no fear of corners.
Thank you for the mention and link! Was stumped for a while on what to write 🙂
