The Eleventh Day of Surety in Confusion

Surety in Confusion Maria L. Berg 2023

For this morning’s photographic adventure, I stayed in to capture confusion in surety and surety in confusion. Confusion makes me think of spirals, and surety makes me think of straight lines and arrows. I made two new filters that I enjoyed this morning: one a pinhole spiral and the other a spiral made of straight line arrows.

2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 11

Today’s prompt is to write an odd poem.

The Odd Thought

The surety of my confusion
in flawed, clouded symmetry
a fraud of projected sanity
applauding lurid glee within delusion
of a tangled wad never coming to conclusion

The last couple of days, though I have reached my word goals, I have felt kind of lost. So today I am determined to create an outline. I’m going to brainstorm every scene I can possibly imagine starting with the Story Grid Horror Cheat Sheet’s Obligatory Scenes and Conventions. Then I’m going to work through the Outlining sections of Novel Writing Blueprint Workbook (amazon assoc. link) by Jill Harris. I really like this workbook as a journal and it has great examples and suggestions.

Happy Reading and Writing!
