#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 25: Thankful For

Corrupted by Maria L. Berg 2021

Today’s images were inspired by the happy accidents created by digital video stutters and glitches. This thanksgiving I am so thankful for digital bokeh photography. The instant images and limitless possibilities of exploration bring be so much joy.

November PAD Chapbook Challenge

Today’s prompt is to write a thankful poem.

The Little Things

uninterrupted time in
new combinations of light
captured and frozen
to match images pre-seen
once figments now creations
to bring elation on repeat
simple and healthy activity
free except electricity
and time, precious time
rationed commodity
of juggled priorities
I give thanks
to this place
where there is space
for creating worlds
temporary, but not
put away while still
inspiring daily
growth

Digitally Corrupt by Maria L. Berg 2021

NaNoWriMo

I’m very thankful for the inspiration NaNoWriMo is giving me on this re-write. I’ve come up with a lot of new ideas that make my characters more interesting and relatable, and connections between the characters that are fun and unexpected. None of this would have happened this month without NaNoWriMo. My most interesting ideas have come during the regional write-ins which is convincing me that I’m a more social (digitally social) human than I like to believe. Getting today’s words in might be a little tough, but there’s always tomorrow. Good luck everyone who’s trying to write around family gatherings today.
