Contradictory Abstract Nouns (Photography Challenge)
Today I’m looking at finding the friendship in acquaintance and the acquaintance in friendship. I journaled a lot about how friendship is in acquaintance and acquaintance in friendship and it all came down to time. One has to be willing to put the time in to listen, to ask questions; one has to want to spend time with a person, concept, or idea.
November PAD Chapbook Challenge & dVerse Poets Pub
Today’s prompt is “(blank) Story,” and it’s Quadrille Monday at dVerse Poets Pub where the word “wing” needs to be included in a poem of exactly 44 words.
Hour Story
Let’s pretend time broke a wing and can’t fly
so your warmth next to me as we look out at the lake
while the sun gets low in the sky and sparkles in our eyes won’t roam
and you won’t look at your phone.
NaNoWriMo
Today, I’m celebrating because I “won” NaNoWriMo yesterday by writing 50,000 words on my new novel draft. However, I want to complete my whole first draft since it’s going so well,so I reset my goal on the NaNoWriMo website for another 40,000 words. This ups the daily goal to over 2,353. It seems daunting, but my new “wake up and write on the novel” practice is working. I already have 1400 words on the day, and I haven’t really gotten into today’s planned writing. The only thing that’s bothering me about resetting my goal is I had to get rid of my original goal because they can’t overlap. Thus, my pretty win on the site is gone. I guess that’s a good motivator to meet my new goal. Still a bit of a bummer.

I am so happy I don’t have a cell phone. I have one landline in my office, and it has a bot blocker. It’s a wonderful life.

Thank you. Me, too. A couple of weeks ago, I was really hoping to know what that flow of words is like, instead of feeling like I was having to yank them out of hiding. And this project is playing out in front of me like I’m watching it happen. It’s great!

You go! That is awesome. I have so many stories started then my mind just drops off and I don’t know where to go with them. I really need to write down my ideas!
