These are my responses to the Writober prompt post Fear of Insanity. It occurred to me as I journaled this morning, that as I wrote the prompts for today, I was focused on the fear of losing one’s mind, going insane, but the fear of insanity may also include the fear of encountering someone else’sContinue reading “Insanity’s Reflection”

Getting Really Close Up
Today’s prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “close up / close-up.” This prompt inspired me to head outside and take some macro photos. Getting really close up to the azalea buds made me notice that they have a warm, spicy smell. Getting really close up to the snow on my windshield, I noticed iceContinue reading “Getting Really Close Up”
Tuned In for a Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Today is supposed to be very hot with poor air quality due to smoke. It feels like a good day to stay inside with the blinds drawn and he fan on high for a stream of consciousness Saturday. And I’m in luck! Today’s prompt is “tune.” Tunes for Tuning Out While Tuning In Today isContinue reading “Tuned In for a Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS”
#SoCS: The Reality of a Half-full Plate of Dreams: On Second Thought It’s Half-empty
Contradictory Abstract Nouns (Photography Challenge) Today I’m looking at the dream in reality and reality in a dream. I found a fun quote for today in The Aspiring Poet’s Journal by Bernard Friot: “Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.” ~Georges Braque Georges Braque was a Fauvist and CubistContinue reading “#SoCS: The Reality of a Half-full Plate of Dreams: On Second Thought It’s Half-empty”
#SoCS: The Pride of Morning and Disdain of Pain
Contradictory Abstract Nouns (Photography Challenge) Today I’m looking at finding the disdain in pride and the pride in disdain. Though I’m not going to risk trying to take the images today—yesterday I twisted funny and almost ended up living in the mirrorworld because my back seized up—I did want to share an interesting find inContinue reading “#SoCS: The Pride of Morning and Disdain of Pain”
#SoCS: The Inelegant Pursuit of a Future Elegant Celerity
Contradictory Abstract Nouns (Photography Challenge) Today I’m looking at finding the inelegance in elegance and the elegance in inelegance. When I think of elegance, I think of long lines and smooth curves, of jewel monochromes against black, exotic smells and tastes (more spicy than fruity), lush soft and silky textures that shine in soft light,Continue reading “#SoCS: The Inelegant Pursuit of a Future Elegant Celerity”
#Writober Day 22: #SoCS A Graven Bowl to Hold What’s Passed
Stream of Consciousness Saturday Today’s prompt for some stream of consciousness writing is “bowl.” A bowl is both a hemispheric vessel, and the substance that it does or does not hold. A bowl can be a ball that’s rolled, its act of rolling and its action on a thing. An intense feeling, being bowled over,Continue reading “#Writober Day 22: #SoCS A Graven Bowl to Hold What’s Passed”
#Writober Day 1 and #SoCS: Monster Me
Hello! And welcome to Experience Writing’s Writober kick-off celebration. We’re somehow still having summer here in the Seattle area, and I’m about to go dive in the lake to cool off, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get in the Halloween spirit. I had a ton of fun this morning with Tourmaline .’s prompt “Monster”Continue reading “#Writober Day 1 and #SoCS: Monster Me”
#SoCS: Clearly Relieved
Relief I’m excited for a little relief today. I’ve had stomach pain the last couple days, so alleviation, ease, or deliverance through the removal of pain, distress, oppression, etc. is greatly appreciated. A rain-free day with some sun is also something affording a pleasing change, as from monotony: release. While thinking about visually creating relief,Continue reading “#SoCS: Clearly Relieved”
#SoCS: Sticks and Stones and Words

I think of thin, brittle, sheer tissue; skeletal frames; looseContinue reading “#SoCS: Sticks and Stones and Words”
