Writing Prompt: How do you feel when it’s your birthday? Why?

I’m pretty ambivalent about my birthday.  It was cool when I was a kid (which really wasn’t that long ago) because of birthday parties and cake and everything.  Now I’m like, meh.  Like my 21st birthday was…pretty abnormal, from the way I’ve heard some friends talk about it.  My reaction was, “I can drink?  Big deal.”  But then again, my grandpa didn’t drink anything, and my mom and my grandma did very rarely, like only at birthdays or other special occasions. 

But back to celebrating my birthday.  I’m not sure why I’m not big on celebrating my birthday, but it’s seriously not a big deal to me.  My idea of a fun birthday is watching a movie and going to the bookstore.  Or something like that.  I really have an odd idea of fun.

I added about 200 words or so to Turning Point yesterday, and it was pretty exciting.  I think it may have been the spark I needed to get back on the novel-writing train, because I’m more excited about getting back to work on everything than I have been in a while. 

And I’ve already done my once-a-month baked good resolution: yet another chocolate chip cookie.  It’s a lot different than any other chocolate chip cookie I’ve made- I really love chocolate chip cookies.  They tend to be my default thing I bring to parties.  And I make everything from scratch.  Or I try to anyway.  Stuff made from scratch just seems to taste better than the boxed stuff from the store.
