Turn the Page

It seems like my life is, and always has been, concerned with books. I’m either reading them, checking them out of the library, buying them on Amazon, reading free ebooks on various sites, writing books, publishing books (okay, so far it’s just been two, but it’s a start) or altering books. I’m not sure whatContinue reading “Turn the Page”

TMI Tuesday: June 21, 2022: Opportunities

1. What keeps your life exciting? Learning new things and new ways to do old things 2. What is something you do to embrace your insecurities? I turn around and face them head-on. It’s usually the known that causes my fears and anxieties. I usually win or learn an important lesson when I challenge themContinue reading “TMI Tuesday: June 21, 2022: Opportunities”

Magnetic Poetry: Morning Dreams

I love using word magnets to write poetry… just grabbing some words and turning them into a poem. Sometimes they only make sense to me. Maybe, sometimes, they resonate with someone else. I’ve used online magnetic poetry sites, but I also have a magnetic board and sets of word magnets that I can write withContinue reading “Magnetic Poetry: Morning Dreams”

Baby Eyes

The first time I saw my baby’s eyes, I knew what it was to look into the soul of the Universe. The wisdom in a newborn’s dark blue eyes hinted at how much more they knew in comparison to their learned and experienced parents. At that moment, I realized I knew very little and thatContinue reading “Baby Eyes”

TMI Tuesday: May 10, 2022: Wild

Write a 100 word story using the phrase “Kinky love triangle”. She knelt between the two of them. They both wanted her. She wanted them both and wasn’t able to choose between them, so she didn’t. She topped from the bottom and announced she would have them both or nothing at all. She would leaveContinue reading “TMI Tuesday: May 10, 2022: Wild”

Prompts, Words and Pictures: Poetry from Songs

Tunes as Muse: Take two of your favorite songs, and match up a line from the chorus of one with a line from the chorus of the other. Then, write a scene that starts with the first lyric, and ends with the second. I did this a bit differently. I took lines out of twoContinue reading “Prompts, Words and Pictures: Poetry from Songs”

TMI Tuesday: March 15, 2022: Writing

When you need to get serious, good writing done where do you go? The same place I always find myself… in my comfy chair. Where do you look for inspiration to write? Oh, everywhere… people around me. My memories and experiences. Movies and TV shows. Books, magazines, and newspapers. Other people’s blogs. Writing prompts, poetryContinue reading “TMI Tuesday: March 15, 2022: Writing”

Writing

Bloguarany 8 What do you like most about your writing? I wasn’t quite sure how to interpret this question. What do I like about the things I write about? Or what do I like about my ability to write? So, I’ll answer from both perspectives. Since I was a little girl, I’ve been “called” toContinue reading “Writing”

Young Writers

Illustory: Write and Illustrate a Professionally Produced Book I bought this years ago for my daughter when she was about 9. She died when she was 16 and I still have the book she wrote, illustrated, and published with this product. It’s now been 20 years since she died and I treasure this book. I’mContinue reading “Young Writers”

Things to Ponder

And we park in the driveway and drive on the parkway. Sit in the waiting room and wait in the sitting room. When you transport something by car, it’s called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it’s called cargo. Your nose runs and your feet smells. Why do you put suits inContinue reading “Things to Ponder”
