NaNoWriMo

I write these verses because Lynn enjoys them so much. I’m certain I could find something less brain abusing to do with my time, but whatever it might be wouldn’t bring her so much pleasure. That makes it all worthwhile. I do this all because her Because of You “You took my breath away.”…

So something a little different tonight. When I was younger, I used to suffer the most terrifying nightmares. Fortunately, less so now, but I still remember trying to stay awake to avoid them. The Demons in my Mind Strange nightmares fall into my head, and banish hope of sleep. Phantasms stark in lurid hues,…

My wonderful wife Lynn has been listening to my poems this month and mentioned that I seem to be on a self-awareness kick. Apparently, she’s right (as she usually is). What Price the Dream? “Livin’ the dream.” you hear them say, but at what price that dream? The fancy house, the shiny car, are…

Here we are at day 6 of NaPoWriMo and I’m starting to question why I do this. So that’s what I’ll write about tonight. A Rambling Thought I sit and write and as I do, a thought occurs to me. Why do I write? What is the point? What use can these words be?…

Yes, I know that I’m posting this on day 6. At least it’s getting posted, so half-marks for that. Be Here Now We spend so much of every day, caught up inside our head. Dwelling still upon the past, or planning far ahead. But all the time we spend like that, is time we are…

It’s dream of freedom and of peace, a continent did span. And now we stand here looking back, at just how far we’ve come. With some things…

Day three of NaPoWriMo. What to write today, that’s the question. Ah, I know…. You Are All I Need To See I sit upon the shore and gaze, out at the distant sea. And think of all the places that, I think I’d like to be. But then I stop and start to think,…

I’m actually a day late with this. I had planned a while ago to participate again in NaPoWriMo. Then totally zoned yesterday and forgot about it. Oops. Here we go anyway! The Return of the Poet It’s April once again and I, Begin to write anew. To search throughout my cobwebbed mind, Tell something that…

Greetings from the land of poor but quick writing. One of the key pieces of advice for this process is don’t edit as you write. Just get the words down on the page and worry about everything else later. That’s why I specify poor writing. turns out it’s not too hard to write badly. Writing…

It’s time to start my entry for the National Novel Writing Month challenge. It’s a really simple idea. Write a fifty thousand word novel in November. Sure it’s only thirty days, but at least they don’t hold it in February. What this means for Brain Bits To Go is pretty simple. My posts may be…
