Contradictory Abstract Nouns (Photography Challenge) Today I want to create an image that shows the trust in distrust and the distrust in trust. I took all of the lights that made up October’s color palette outside to decorate the driveway for the trick-or-treaters, so today, since I woke up while it was still dark, IContinue reading “The First Day of The New Month and the New Novel”

Thinking About #Writober
I got in the Halloween spirit a little early this year. Yesterday, I was tweeting about Readers Imbibing Peril. It starts the first of September, but I always forget until October. So in one way I’m early by only starting a couple weeks late. This year’s group book is The Sundial by Shirley Jackson. IContinue reading “Thinking About #Writober”
A Morning Reading Great Poetry: Why don’t we tweet poetry books like TV shows or movies?
This morning, I enjoyed reading a lot of great poetry. As I read, I needed to write down at least one line from every page with fervent excitement. I wanted to share my joy with everyone.

Final Days of 2017 #FD2017 Day 25: Surviving The Rare White Christmas!
For our final odd ornament visual prompt I found a gift from 1996 still in its box. The box had some interesting info. I’m loving the name Grzegorz. I think the ball is painted with drums, but that’s a guess. From this view, it could be stylized black holes. #vss very short story While herContinue reading “Final Days of 2017 #FD2017 Day 25: Surviving The Rare White Christmas!”

Final Days of 2017 Day 23: Yeti Paws
This has been hanging on the inside doorknob of my bedroom door ever since I received it from my Swedish “sister”. God Jul means Merry Christmas in Swedish. I am not sure what the fur is, but I’m going to go ahead and say it was made from Yeti paws. #vss very short story HannahContinue reading “Final Days of 2017 Day 23: Yeti Paws”
