Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s prompt is “mask.” Masks are not only fun for Halloween, I think they are a great symbol for this week’s contradictory abstraction: finding the fiction in truth and the truth in fiction. Humans use masks to both hide the truth and create a truth they want others to believe. OctPoWriMoContinue reading “#Writober Day 16: Masks of Truth and Fiction”

#Writober Day 15: #SoCS Busy Spiders Fill My Happy Place with Webs
Stream of Consciousness Saturday Today’s prompt for some stream of consciousness writing is “happy place.” My happy place is filled with stinky smoke. Frustrating sunny days full of sharp, acrid haze make me long for rain. This time of year, here, wishing for rain feels so wrong. My happy place all summer has been atContinue reading “#Writober Day 15: #SoCS Busy Spiders Fill My Happy Place with Webs”

#Writober Day 11: The Truth of Love and Frog
Diving into the question, What is Truth? for this week’s contradictory abstract nouns, I came across this interesting video on Truth vs. Reality with Donald Hoffman from Big Think.

#Writober Day 10: Night’s Truths and Fictions
Contradictory Abstract Nouns This week I’m finishing out what I named “The Big 5” abstract nouns.

This week’s contradictory abstract nouns made me think of the great Will FerrellContinue reading “#Writober Day 10: Night’s Truths and Fictions”

Yesterday, I came across a Proverb (in my daily gratitude journal: Proverbs journal from EllieContinue reading “#Writober Day 9: The Wisdom of Honey and Owls”
#Writober Day 8: #SoCS The Strange and Wonderful in the Back of the Fridge
Stream of Consciousness Saturday Today’s prompt for some stream of consciousness writing is “back of the fridge.” At first I thought of the space behind the fridge: dark, collecting dust and cobwebs that are impossible to get to. I wasn’t going to have a lot to say about that back of the fridge. But thenContinue reading “#Writober Day 8: #SoCS The Strange and Wonderful in the Back of the Fridge”
#Writober Day 7: Courage to Persevere Through the Fog
Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s word is “Fog” which immediately made me think of the movie “The Fog.” I first watched The Fog thinking it was the movie that inspired the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror V in which a fog made their bodies turn inside out, so I was surprised that the movie was aboutContinue reading “#Writober Day 7: Courage to Persevere Through the Fog”
