  • NaPoWriMo Day 7

    Accentuate the positive! It took me years to learn this seemingly simple lesson. Too often we focus on the negative. We remember the guy who cut us off in traffic but forget the person who slowed down to let us merge. So much of our happiness comes down to growing what we feed. Feed the…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 6

    As so often happens, I started this with nothing more than the opening line. There was no sense of narrative or where it was going. I find that some of my best writing is done that way. Let me know what you think 🙂   DREAMING TOMORROW   Now go to sleep and dream sweet…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 30

    It’s strange how fast time goes sometimes. It seems like it was only this morning that I was writing the poem for Day 26. Funny how that works eh? Ah well, if I can get past this last blank page, I’ll have made my deadline. Let’s see what’s left in the bottle… shall we?  …

  • NaPoWriMo Day 29

    I think I mentioned last time that things get a little strange once the creativity starts flowing. Well, hopefully I can finish on a slightly more normal note.   A Note To My Therapist A dream perhaps and yet more real, than I have known before. How can I know the truth of it, what’s…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 28

    Sometimes when I wrench open the creative valve, the weirdest things get washed out.   On Ghosthunters A figure faintly seen at night, there in the empty place. If you could gain a closer view, would you gaze on it’s face?   It walks there every night alone, even when it’s not seen. Would you…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 27

    Yay! Day 27 complete. Only three more to go before bed. Or maybe tomorrow. We’ll see how if there’s anything left in the old “creative juice” bottle.   Lost Youth When we were young we did not think, beyond the present day, We lived our lives just for right now, we knew no other way.…

  • NaPoWriMo DAy 25

    I’m a big science fan and am fascinated by the drive to Mars and beyond. Excited to see what wonders I will see and dreaming of what lies beyond.   A Farewell To Earth To travel far where none have gone, and see what none have seen, The sands of Mars, the asteroid belt, to…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 24

    So, it’s day 24 and it’s a beautiful sunny day. The birds are chirping and you can almost see the back garden coming back to life after it’s long winter sleep. I absolutely love the Springtime.   The Best Season The shining sun, the singing birds, you almost hear things grow. That sense of rebirth…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 23

    So… here we are… caught up again for the moment.  I just have to figure out what to catch up with.   Creating Ghosts We all carry our ghosts with us, bits of our past that cling. Of choices that we now regret, that baggage that we bring. The ones we hurt, the ones we…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 22

    No real idea where this came from. Just started putting words down and let them take the shape they wanted. It’s no less true for all that.   My Truth There must be some comfort in faith, in knowing what is true. In knowing if you walk the line, good things will come to you.…
