A thing I enjoy about prompts is that they get my brain out of its usual grooves. I did not know until just now, for instance, that there is a programming language named "Julia," which is the name that came to mind for Upper Rubber Boot's prompt 26 for #100UntimedBooks. "Julia" is also a name of the editor of 7x20, which will feature some pieces of mine soon (and which was founded by Upper Rubber Boot's publisher). It is also a name of a woman who witnessed my wedding and the first name of her daughter.
I say "a name" since many of the women I know answer to multiple monikers. And then there's "Olivia Morgan Gilliam" in The Pastel Trilogy, who owes her existence, one could say (page 12), to Julia Morgan Hays. And those books, which are rooted in Greenville, bring to mind Julia Reed...
I fit in some writing of my own today during lunch, which was at the 2/22 Eatery at the Country Music Hall of Fame (thank you, Downtown Partnership, for the discount). At one point the guitarist segued from "Can't Help Falling in Love" into a few bars of Mendelssohn's wedding march. Since he'd actually spent a solid part of the hour playing Bach and then Johnny Cash, I wasn't visited by the urge to pelt rolls at him.
