Depth of the Unchanging One
It’s our last full week of NaPoWriMo (National /Global Poetry Writing Month) and the A-Z Challenge. I hope you’re enjoying the A to Z of Depth. Yesterday we dove into change and transformation, so when I read, “the human mind is capable of fathoming that unchanging one behind the many, and having fathomed it, theContinue reading “Depth of the Unchanging One”
Depth of Mess from a New Perspective
Today, I am celebrating making a deep dent in the depths of papers stacked around my office, and hiding in the desk drawers. 🥳🎆🎉 At the start of this month, I gave myself the tiny goal of throwing away ten pieces of paper a day. That could be anything: receipts, ticket stubs, old mail, anything.Continue reading “Depth of Mess from a New Perspective”
Continuing My Contradictory Abstract Noun Study
Back on May 1st in my post Reviewing April and Contemplating May, I talked about my plan to collect all of the abstract nouns and place them in grids along the three axes of fear (fight to flight); control (inner to outer); and bias (positive to negative) in an attempt to find a new BigContinue reading “Continuing My Contradictory Abstract Noun Study”
Contradictory Abstractions: The Dynamic of Action / Reaction
This morning I read, in Dialogue: The Art of Verbal Action for the Page, Stage, and Screen by Robert McKee, “Every consequential moment in life pivots around a dynamic of action/reaction. In the physical realm, reactions are equal, opposite, and predictable in obedience to Newton’s third law of motion; in the human sphere, the unforeseenContinue reading “Contradictory Abstractions: The Dynamic of Action / Reaction”

Though conceptually I feel like my ideas are coming together, the images aren’t yet what I’ve been hoping for. How about you? How did your month go? This week I’m exploringContinue reading “Contradictory Abstractions: The Synthesis of Beauty and Ugliness”
The Week in Review: Reading, Writing, and Abstraction
How was your week? Did you try reading like a writer? Though I didn’t find a lot to apply to my novel from The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill, I did have fun brainstorming unique formats for my novel, and it inspired me to get a copy of S. by J.J. Abrams andContinue reading “The Week in Review: Reading, Writing, and Abstraction”
Dialectic Thinking and the Study of Contradictory Abstractions
Last week, while thinking about the first of my new calls to action “To find the truth in deceit and the deceit in truth; either deceive the truth, or unveil the deceit” (I now think reveal works better than unveil), the idea of deceiving truth, along with the blues songs I’ve been studying, got meContinue reading “Dialectic Thinking and the Study of Contradictory Abstractions”
#Writober Day 27: How did I get here?
#OctPoWriMo Today’s OctPoWriMo theme is How did I get here? Today was my last prompt for this OctPoWriMo and I wanted to try a new form, so I chose Ottava Rima. Today’s theme had me pulling out my old philosophy books: Neitzche’s Beyond Good & Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future, Freud’s Civilization andContinue reading “#Writober Day 27: How did I get here?”
