Still trying to catch up from last week’s detour – but today makes the Two Week Mark for my four November challeges: Writer’s NovPAD, Poetry Potion’s Poem-A-Day, National Novel Writing Month, and my personal Zentangle-A-Day. I think any one participating in a November challenge should get real-time points for just sticking with it! Tomorrow makes our half-way point …

My hardest challenge, so far, has been the NaNoWriMo; with the poems & art – once I drawn them for the day, I AM DONE (for that day at least). The Novel still has some to go. And that mindset makes it more difficult. Ah well, time to change the mindset – There’s still most of November left – And this is only a first draft so no need to be perfect, just STARTED. 

Hope you are having good luck with your persuits!

Now for the prompts …

Nov PAD

AS it is Tuesday, Writer’s Digest’s NovPAD has two (that is 2) prompts or TwoFerTuesday. I’m just going to paste them here as I really like the reasons Brewer picked them for today …

  1. Write a sonnet or other traditional form poem. I specifically mention the sonnet, because it’s day 14 and the sonnet traditionally has 14 lines. But any other traditional form (villanelle, triolet, sestina, etc.) would work as well.
  2. Write an anti-sonnet or other traditional form poem. If you’re anti-form, good news! You can vent about it in a poem–or just write a poem that attacks form and structure of any kind (even beyond poetics). Anarchy poems?

Poetry Potion’s PAD is “when I see my mother …”

Mia Botha’s prompt for Day 14 is “the test results“.

NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo‘s prompt/suggesstion for us NANOnites is to “add a scene where your protanganist and antagonist share a meal.”

Zentangle

Played with triadz and it’s auras.  I do love Zentangle by CC Willowshapes reminescent of leaves! And fall colors – especially in the fall. It’s been blustery lately and many trees are now bare – so the ground very much looks like today’s zentangle …
