This week, being the first week of all the fun challenges of Writober, I didn’t write much about this week’s study of contradictory abstract nouns. This week I was looking at the naivete in wisdom and the wisdom of naivete. Yesterday, I came across a Proverb (in my daily gratitude journal: Proverbs journal from EllieContinue reading “#Writober Day 9: The Wisdom of Honey and Owls”

#Writober Day 8: #SoCS The Strange and Wonderful in the Back of the Fridge
Stream of Consciousness Saturday Today’s prompt for some stream of consciousness writing is “back of the fridge.” At first I thought of the space behind the fridge: dark, collecting dust and cobwebs that are impossible to get to. I wasn’t going to have a lot to say about that back of the fridge. But thenContinue reading “#Writober Day 8: #SoCS The Strange and Wonderful in the Back of the Fridge”
#Writober Day 7: Courage to Persevere Through the Fog
Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s word is “Fog” which immediately made me think of the movie “The Fog.” I first watched The Fog thinking it was the movie that inspired the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror V in which a fog made their bodies turn inside out, so I was surprised that the movie was aboutContinue reading “#Writober Day 7: Courage to Persevere Through the Fog”
#Writober Day 6: Surrendering Zombie Guilt
Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s prompt is Zombie. In a way, my filter shapes are like zombies eating my brain and mindlessly replicating (on every glint of light). Not having a clear idea for today’s photo-shoot, I did some research and found some interesting online resources I thought I’d share: PBS did a series calledContinue reading “#Writober Day 6: Surrendering Zombie Guilt”
#Writober Day 5: Treating Myself to a New Mirrorworld for Fall
Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s prompt is Treat. I treated myself by taking down the make-shift mirrorworld in the bathroom, and building a new one in the closet. OctPoWriMo Today’s prompt is “be yourself.” The recommended form is Palindrome Poetry. I Am Enough Connecting thoughts, busy mindnever bored, never stagnant:not stale or foul from standingIContinue reading “#Writober Day 5: Treating Myself to a New Mirrorworld for Fall”
#Writober Day 4: Trying New Tricks
Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s prompt is Trick. So what new trick do I want to try today? Yesterday’s ideas of wisdom being connections of ideas inspired me to try sewing, typing with an old typewriter, and writing on transparencies. Then I thought about all the fun I had with inkblots, and tried making inkblotsContinue reading “#Writober Day 4: Trying New Tricks”
#Writober Day 3: Naive Skeletal Wisdom
Contradictory Abstract Nouns This week I am exploring the naivete in wisdom and the wisdom in naivete. Yesterday, while reading The Senses: Design Beyond Vision edited by Ellen Lipton and Andrea Lipps, I read, “Sensory design activates touch, sound, smell, taste, and the wisdom of the body.” That really opened up this week’s study forContinue reading “#Writober Day 3: Naive Skeletal Wisdom”
#Writober Day 2: Feelin’ a little batty
R. I. P. XVII Readers Imbibing Peril Peril of the listen! This morning I finished listening to Dante’s Inferno. I think Clive Barker was heavily influenced by this work while making Hellraiser. Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s prompt is “Bats.” I used the same fabric as I did last year, but I turned it intoContinue reading “#Writober Day 2: Feelin’ a little batty”
#Writober Day 1 and #SoCS: Monster Me
Hello! And welcome to Experience Writing’s Writober kick-off celebration. We’re somehow still having summer here in the Seattle area, and I’m about to go dive in the lake to cool off, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get in the Halloween spirit. I had a ton of fun this morning with Tourmaline .’s prompt “Monster”Continue reading “#Writober Day 1 and #SoCS: Monster Me”
