The poem Warm Fuzzy Thoughts of You I pulled the scarf you made from the cubby in the closet something sticky found its way onto its knits and pearls so I gave it a cool rinse before rubbing it to my cheek like a pastel kiss of greeting then wrapped its curling edges around myContinue reading “#NaPoWriMo Day 20: Homemade Gifts in Isolation”

#NaPoWriMo Day 19: Sound Collecting
This morning, the prompts inspired me to go out for a walk. I wore gloves with the full intention to collect small things I encountered along the way, but once out there, I didn’t want to bring home little bits of plastic or the weird broken vial. The little flowers and squirrels didn’t want toContinue reading “#NaPoWriMo Day 19: Sound Collecting”
#NaPoWriMo Day 17: Obsolete Tech Not Yet Forgotten
I woke up still angry at the guy that came to my door and rang and knocked and knocked until I went up and yelled, “who is it” and he said “pest control.” After yelling, “I don’t need your services,” through the door, I knew he would go next door, so I ran to myContinue reading “#NaPoWriMo Day 17: Obsolete Tech Not Yet Forgotten”

The hero is frustrated on #NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 18
#NaNoWriMo Day 18 (2017): Frustration and Breaking Through Negative Thinking This is the perfect theme for both my MC and for me. My MC is stuck in a town he no longer recognizes and doesn’t know what’s going on with the case. And I would like the words and ideas to flow faster and withContinue reading “The hero is frustrated on #NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 18”
The Midpoint #NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 15
Truth is I’m not into this today I set my alarm for 6 am so I could watch Marie Yovanovitch’s testimony and to be honest, I don’t give a crap about writing fiction today. I have tried to keep this site a-political, but I cried on Wednesday when Ambassador Taylor talked about being on theContinue reading “The Midpoint #NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 15”
Building toward the midpoint on #NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 13
Image prompt: I love this idea that rusted and broken useless buckets gather together and still collect things. Where do buckets gather in my story? What do they collect? On Day 13 in 2017 I was ambitious and already at the midpoint, looking at the Inmost Cave. This year, I feel like I’m still veryContinue reading “Building toward the midpoint on #NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 13”

Tests, Allies and Enemies on #NaNoWriMo Day 11
Image inspiration: This morning I continued my search for things that could be found on an abandoned property that make me say: What is that doing there? And what is it for? How’s everyone’s writing going? I hope you’re enjoying your story and getting to know your characters no matter what your word count. IContinue reading “Tests, Allies and Enemies on #NaNoWriMo Day 11”
Crossing The Threshold on #NaNoWriMo Day 8
I woke up to a beautiful site. When I ran out with my camera, the neighbor’s cat ran in, but as I took pictures I heard him coming to join me. I love that he follows me around outside. Photography can be about planning and technique, but it can also be all about lucky timing.Continue reading “Crossing The Threshold on #NaNoWriMo Day 8”
