So the first week of the challengees is now officially in the bag. How you holding up?
As for me, the housework is slipping as the writing steps up. My projects are revving up; the poeming, the novel-writing, the art … and the demanding weather-proofing that November’s weather demands. Continue reading “Day 8 NovPAD 1 week down”
So Nov 5th … or Day 5 as I call it. 🙂
I’m starting to get in the groove of writing – and as I’ve done in the past – the more I producive I am at writing, the more productive I am at the non-writing chores. Of course, some is the natural procrastination we writers have: Choice A: Wash out the garbage bins that now has it’s own culture thriving in their depths or Choice B Write your character out of a spot of trouble … Choice A it is! Continue reading “Day 5 NovPAD & NaNoWriMo Party Day …”
So yesterday was a silent – but productive day.
Silent – as the devices I had access toinfested with bogarts & brownies and not letting me communicate with anyone (no keyboard, no mobile internet, heck – no clocks) and those that miht have worked … were missing or hidden. <rueful smile> No posting; no writing. Continue reading “Day 3 & 4 Poeming, Bogarts, and Steampunk – Oh My!”
Today will be short – as I’m between apppointments right now.
Brewer has suggested writing a “disguise poem” today.
Mia Botha’s prompt is “wind“.
NaNo’s suggestion for your novelling today is “write a world where electricity and light are living creatiures and some people can communicate with them“.
I am challenging myself to create one zentangle a day during November. I’ve been so caught up, as CC Willow, in marketing my art that I really have not had a chance to play & create more.
Now scooting myself to group yoga …
I’ve been looking forward to today. It’s the start of two writing challenges – November’s Poem-A-Day Chapbook Challenge (NovPAD) & National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)!
I do both. In fact, overacheiver that I am, I usually do multiple PAD challenges. It started with Poetic Asides’ challenge hosted by Writer’s Digest’s own Robert Lee Brewer; Continue reading “Day 1 November’s Poem-A Day Challenge”

Monday was … interesting. Doing better at forming my habits. I have been reading more in Fearless Creating (Eric Maisel, PH.D.) ; chapter 3 is Belligerant Committment: Starting Your Work talks about how the most important minutes of the day are Continue reading “Day 4 NaPoWriMo 2017 & Poem”
Here’s a good NaPoWriMo tip – if you have both poeming and weed-pulling on your to-do list for the day – do the poeming first! Don’t be like me; Continue reading “Day 3 of NaPoWriMo / GloPoWriMo”
