November PAD Chapbook Challenge The prompt is to write a special poem. For today’s poem I revisited theContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 5: Special Lies”

So far, so good. My prompts are inspiring me to hop out of bed, grab my camera and try new techniques. When I woke up, I made a quick list of things found in the wild that I forgot to put on my abandoned property description yesterday. This included: spiderwebs, spiders, huckleberries, salmon berries, ferns,Continue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 3: As Wild as a Baby Huckleberry in November”
#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 2: Startled! I Wasn’t Ready.
This morning’s photoshoot was fun and successful. For “startle” I thought about the way the body jerks when we’re startled, and played with camera motion with some bokeh of my neighbors’ lights across the lake. I love the color palette created by the security lights in the dark November PAD Chapbook Challenge Today is twoContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 2: Startled! I Wasn’t Ready.”

#OctPoWriMo Day 20: We’re All Part of the Decor
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “decor,” I thought it would be a great inspiration to put up my decorations early, but it’s supposed to rain for a week, so I thought I might make some decor inside instead. Decor makes me think of lamps and wallpaper and carpets, but once I got started appreciating theContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 20: We’re All Part of the Decor”
#OctPoWriMo Day 19: Warning! Delicious Gore Story
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “desserts,” I looked at some fun Halloween desserts and found a vegan “white chocolate” recipe.

#OctPoWriMo Day 18:Once Upon a Bloodsucker
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “vampire,” I created a fang filter and found the monsters in my world. OctPoWriMo Today’s prompt is an empty pot. The suggested form is Double Exposure. I like this type of poem-within-a-poem form. It provides the opportunity for more than one speaker, or combining two different related images (like vampiresContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 18:Once Upon a Bloodsucker”
#OctPoWriMo Day 16 & #SoCS: If Caught When I Fall
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “spider,” all I had to do was step outside to find plenty of spiders. There was I giant wolf spider on the ceiling in the shop too.
