Welcome to the first day of October! OctPoWriMo I woke up excited to get started on my first poem of October’s yearly poem-a-day challenge, and headed straight to the OctPoWriMo site. Though the heading on the Home page says “OctPoWriMo 2021”, the prompt is still the Day 31 prompt from last year. So, I hadContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 1: Surrender”

Pleasure of Poetry
My previous post, the last in my redrafting demonstration, was about emulating a poem or poet. Today, the Poetics prompt at dVerse Poets Pub takes that to a whole new level. Laura challenges us to write a poem either about one of our favorite poets, or addressing a poet in direct voice. I think I’llContinue reading “Pleasure of Poetry”

Stream of Consciousness Saturday (#SoCS): Run Yonder
Yesterday morning I happened upon Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt. This weekly writing prompt offers a word prompt and a word limit. This weekend it is “Yonder” and the word limit is 44 words which I found familiar as it is the same as the dVerse Quadrille.

Writer In Motion: A five week writing and revising challenge
Summer is here. The weather is gorgeous, but sweaty-hot. Levi and I are adjusting though motivationally-challenged. He gets away with napping and bathing all day, but my stories won’t write themselves. So, I found a challenge to keep me working through August. For the next five weeks, starting August 1st, I will be participating inContinue reading “Writer In Motion: A five week writing and revising challenge”
Big changes to the pages: December Planner Pages. The end of the experiment.
For this final month of the planner experiment, I had a big think. I put way to much work into this to completely abandon the idea, but I also think I went about it backwards, or at least not exactly the right way. What I have learned thus far Yes, having a goal of 100Continue reading “Big changes to the pages: December Planner Pages. The end of the experiment.”
Approach to the moment of truth on #NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 19
Image prompt: I imagined my main character revisiting the abandoned property on a rainy day, so I spent a little time taking pictures in the rain. I like the title from Day 19 2017: Approach to the moment of truth. I’m feeling this on many levels. This week is going to be tough. I’ve alreadyContinue reading “Approach to the moment of truth on #NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 19”
How to write the point of no return #NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 6
Day 6Â (2017) is The Point of No Return My protagonist definitely wants to refuse his call to adventure. How will he try to wriggle his way out of a request from the police? I highly recommend working through today’s prompts. They inspired me to explore new areas of character development. #vss365: trim He had fearedContinue reading “How to write the point of no return #NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 6”
#NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 5 – The Refusal
Continuing yesterday’s exploration of things that make me say, “What is that and what is it for?” I’m going to go with part of a lampshade? There’s gotta be a story as to why it’s in the lake, right? I hadn’t thought much about stagnant water on my abandoned property, but in this area, IContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo 2019 Day 5 – The Refusal”
