For his Writer’s Workshop this week, John Holton gives us six writing prompts and we are tasked with choosing one of the prompts (or as many as we want) and writing a post that addresses that (or those) prompt(s). I chose two prompts for this week: (1) use the word “ignore,” and (2) write a post in exactly 8 sentences.
Tell me you love
Or tell me you don’t
Embrace me, kiss me, hug me
Or just walk away
Be all in with me
Or be all out
One way or the other
But don’t you dare ignore me

I can’t tell you just how many times I make this comment on a daily basis. Actually, I can, but I don’t wish to be judged.
For some reason, your post made me think of an old movie, “Love Me or Leave Me”, about Ruth Etting, a jazz singer from the 20’s. The movie starred Doris Day and the song (which was the movie’s title) was recorded by Ettinger in 1928, later recorded by Nina Simone which is my favorite version.
Love Me or Leave Me/Shit or Get Off the Pot? Same thing!!
