#Writober Day 11: The Truth of Love and Frog
Diving into the question, What is Truth? for this week’s contradictory abstract nouns, I came across this interesting video on Truth vs. Reality with Donald Hoffman from Big Think. Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s prompt is Frog. I really like the filter I cut for last year, so I thought I would try some ofContinue reading “#Writober Day 11: The Truth of Love and Frog”
#Writober Day 10: Night’s Truths and Fictions
Contradictory Abstract Nouns This week I’m finishing out what I named “The Big 5” abstract nouns. This week is a study of Truth and it’s contradiction “Fiction.” Finding the truth in fiction and the fiction in truth this week should be inspiring. This week’s contradictory abstract nouns made me think of the great Will FerrellContinue reading “#Writober Day 10: Night’s Truths and Fictions”
#Writober Day 9: The Wisdom of Honey and Owls
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 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”
#OctPoWriMo Day 31 & #NaNoWriMo Eve: Happy Halloween!
For Tourmaline .’s last Halloween Challenge this year, costume, I used every one of my lights and “costumed” my driveway. I really enjoyed starting each day jumping out of bed and grabbing my camera, so I made this November prompt calendar to keep myself inspired. I hope you will join me and leave links toContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 31 & #NaNoWriMo Eve: Happy Halloween!”
#OctPoWriMo Day 30 & #SoCS: The Sun Came Out and the World is a Party
Here’s the November daily prompts calendar I mentioned on Thursday. These words are much more abstract than the Halloween Challenge, but I’m hoping they will challenge me to create photographs that represent and inspire the feeling of these words while I work on my novel. I hope you will join me and post your linksContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 30 & #SoCS: The Sun Came Out and the World is a Party”
#OctPoWriMo Day 29: Warning! Nature’s Gory Horror Made Me Scream!
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, scream, I made a new filter to visually symbolize the horrible screams my skeleton candles made all night. I’m afraid they were traumatized by yesterday’s photoshoot. But then I went out to get the mail, and nature really made me scream. This is a real warning, I will be sharingContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 29: Warning! Nature’s Gory Horror Made Me Scream!”
