Sorry – I’m late today. stayed up last night with my CC Willow hat on – updating my database after neglecting it since September. Still need to finish that today as End Of Year is coming …

Late – due to tech issues … But I got some sleep and I’m tackling it anew.
Today’s prompt has been on my mind for a three weeks – perhaps because I have become such a homebody. It is “you are the ghost in your house” … Continue reading “Day 10 prompt”

Last day of challenges. I have about 2K words left to write for NaNoWriMo. And 2 poems to go …
I am still pondering posting a prompt a day starting tomorrow if anyone is interested … Let me know. Continue reading “Day 30 – Last Day of Challenges”

Here’s the prompts: Continue reading “Day 29 – Count Down on November Writing Challenges”
Counting today, there are only three days left of November’s Writing Challenges. (Also see end of today’s post for announcement. )
Sorry for my absence – I was knocked down for two days Continue reading “Day 28 – Knocked down 2 days, now back”
Challegiing day but excited for Thanksgiving! Son has asked to be the Meister Chef tomorrow and looking forward to what deliciousness he whips up.
Hopefully the brownies will take the day off…
Today’s Writing Challnges’ prompts:
NovPAD
RLB today suggest using “(blank) Day” as the title of today’s NovPAD poem. This may end up being an elegy to my Grizzly (T-Day was always his holiday … and now Son takes up the mantle.)
Poetry Potion has a prompt of “Angels & vices” – I first read that as Angels and voices” … Might become my poem.
Mia’s Prompt for Day 22 is “distorted sounds”.
All really great prompts …
NaNoWiMo
I’ll have to pick this one up later; don’t have it with me right now …
Zentangle
I did a fun Fall tangle this morning! It features the patterns of Trimind, Bask-It, Swirly, Vega & Flovine against a background of Twenty-One.
I hope to share a poem tomorrow.
I’m behind the counter today with my red head, assisting in the Artists in Action’ “Something Red” Art Walk intake … Been kept busy as artists throughout the Willamette Valley drop off art for this annual event! Continue reading “DAY 25 – And I’m wearing my CC Willow name today”
Okay – Now that midnight has past and my fridge is full of tastry turkey (Thanks, Son!), I’ll now concede it’s Christmas in the house! Something about a full meal with the family and then board games around the table definately get me into the mood! As you could probably tell from last night’s tangling …
About prompts: Continue reading “Day 24 Guess I should title this post ….”
Happy Thanksgiving to those in the United States and Americans abroad! Expecially to our brave our, defense warriors stationed away from family.
I’m not one these days for expressing my gratitude aloud these days, other than thanking someone for a favor they have done. The reason being= it seems a sure-fire way to lose what I appreciate having. Continue reading “Day 23 Thankful for Writing Challenges”

Spent this morning looking for my glasses; never did find them. I suspect the brownies took them & hid them. Today is also a day when physical law refuse to work for me. Those two challenges leave today being a “catch me if you can” day.
I need to spend today in my role as CC Willow, working on my online art offerings & setting up a holiday sale. So, on for today …
Continue reading “Day 21 – 3 weeks of NovPAD & NaNoWriMo”
Tech issues, so this post will be composed in stages today.
One of those days when I can’t quite get my emotions under control – so all my devices are SLIDing and in the weirdest ways (im) possible. Let’s go from phone to ‘puter now … Continue reading “Day 20 of 30-Day Writing Challenges”
And, yes, there will be a poem shared!
So yesterday I let procrastination limit how much I could write y’day. When I did get to Everybody Likes Pie, I was able to lose myself completely in it … for about 30 mins at a time. But then my inner domestic kept reminding me of chores I needed to do, which led to more chores needing to be done. Writers’ life, sheesh. Continue reading “Day 19 Sunday, Fun day for NovPAD and NaNoWriMo”
I thought I already posted this… Well, here it goes.
I have set today aside for poeming & noveling. So now I have the dishes done , two loads of laundry folded and one washing, floors swept, and a lil’ Thanksgiving prep handled.
Continue reading “Day 18 of NovPAD and NaNoWriMo”
September 17, or – as my people think of it – four months until St. Patrick’s Day! I’m wearing the green today!
Been busy doing a lot of novelling last night & today on Everybody Likes Pie. Continue reading “Day 17 of November’s Challenges & poem”
Halfway there! Of course, I refer to – not word count – but time. And if you find yourself not even halfway through the poems , not even at the 25K word count at the end of today, that’s okay… We still have another 15 days; plenty of time still to write! Continue reading “Day 15 – Halfway done with November … and a poem”
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 … Continue reading “Day 14 – 2 weeks of November Challenges”
It’s Monday – Which for me is one of the days fully scheduled, so I’m running today …
I usually have a theme in mind before a PAD challenge ensues – but this year my mind felt no pull towards a particular subject – So I thought I would then see what theme will develop through the month … and one has starting with Day 1. Let me share my current draft … Continue reading “Day 13 Sharing a NovPAD poem, Calling”
I really admire how Robert Lee Brewer creates a poem to share with each of his PAD prompts.
I want to do that – really, really want to do that on my Poem-A-Day challenges. I also want to have my post Continue reading “Day 12 – Almost Week 2 and the struggle is real …”
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”
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”
